Ithica 37 featherlight question

[the lucky strike]

Can I get a rifled slug barrel for my Ithica model 37 featherlight 12 ga 2 3/4 that will fit without having it worked on by a gunsmith? it is post 1963 model-with 967 serial #

Lucky Strike: I am not sure, but I think it is very unlikely that such a barrel is available. The other option you have is to have your present barrel threaded for screw in chokes and buy a rifled choke. They may not be as good as a fully rifled barrel but they do work very well. Good Luck.

personally i wouldnt shoot a rifled slug down a smooth bore... thats why they make non rifled slugs.... just an opinion though i dont like to take them chances .... guns arnt cheap!!!

try hastings, maybe you'll get lucky

That is a post 855,000 barrel/receiver. You can try to find an old Deerslayer barrel for it and shoot the old-style Foster slugs out of it. I've always found the old Deerslayer barrels were pretty accurate in this situation. Or you can try a Hastings barrel:

Fellas, thanks for the imput.

Try lightfields.I know several guys that have used them out of smooth bores and have done pretty good.They have on the side of the boxes that they they can be shot out of them.

Think about that .A rifled slug in a rifled barrel will fill the lands and groves in a couple of shots,thats why they were made to shot in smooth bores to start spinning when they left the barrel.its much better to shot sabot bullets in rifled bores

understood this came from a guy that wont shoot steel out of my ruger red labels... im just particular .... i was always told to shoot smooth slugs out a smooth bore less likely to screw things up

I have two model 37's and my slug barrell is a smoothbore. It is dead on with ACTIV slugs and they are deadly.

i have a model 37 but im not sure if they have the barrels. i would imagine they do because you can take the barrel off.:huh:
