I'm always on the lookout for a Nam era Ithaca model 37 (With correct USGI markings & stampings ) and wonder if there are both "Parked" & Blued variants ???

Greasemonkey I have a question for you that I can not find an answer to ANY WHERE so far. Do you know if a Winchester Mod 12 Trench gun barrel will fit the receiver of my Winchester 1200?

Not even two gunsmiths have been able to answer!

Google man, Google...or.Bing if your that type, enguage a search engine before mouth, thats what it's there for, it's why its called a "search engine".... 85% of all answers can be found in less than 3 minutes. thumb1 10% take maybe 10-15 minutes, the other 5%, oh, the fun :)

 The Mod 12 an update from the 1897, was fading out, about the early mid '60s, it was getting too expensive to keep producing with difficult to machine steel receiver, enter the.cheaper Mod 1200 with an aluminum reciever..  Mod12 is highly desired pump gun, and they are both pump guns.

Pot, meet kettle.... If you showed little more repesct and common sense in some of your posts, I might have split these posts in to two seperate posts. But, running around asking "what kinda sling is that" on every rifle, has gotten old. If you have a valid question, by all means ask. There is alot of knowledge here, on many different weapons, a little common sense and respect could go along way in help and what not.

 I'm done with the fluff and it breaks down like this, if you want to earn respect, give some, if ya wanna be a wiseass for the duration of your stay, thats fine as well, but the second I or another Admin get another member complaint or I just get bored reading whimiscal posts about a whole lot of nothing, well, I know, the other Admins know, and you know your history elsewhere. Nuff said.

Mod 12 does not interchange with a 1200. IIRC from having worked on both. As mentioned the Mod 12 was an updated version of the 1897.

Gator as to your Ithaca 37 question; I do not believe, again IIRC, the Nam version of the 37 came blued but all were parkerized for the terrain. Only the civilian versions were blued.

I had a Norinco clone years ago but they can't slam fire like originals. I see OG ones on Gunbroker on occasion.

Interesting! I had one of the all black ones with the ghost rings and heatshield and the parkerizing on it was very rough. It was not a branded Norinco but had read that they were made in their factory or on the same equipment? Kind of funny because this was after the stupid US Norinco ban.

Mine was an early one with wood furniture. Looked and operated just like a pre-74 Ithaca 37
