I didn't think it could be done. As a left hand shooter I'm pretty excited about it. Time to load up on 16ga shellsNo sir, not without rebuilding the whole gun. That is a cool shotgun though, shoot it and enjoy it. Be warned, they will slamfire. I love my '38 model 37 in 12ga.

I only ask because I have more 12ga round then I know what to do withNothing wrong with a 16ga. They are a great field gun. The only reason their popularity has flagged here in the US is they didn't allow them for skeet. Still a very popular cartridge on 'the continent'.
I have no friends like that...all mine are keeping their guns!

16 gauge shells are around. I would keep it. Those Ithaca 37s are classics. LH you are one lucky fella.
Luckily I have had luck with all shells, and dad handed down a bunch of 1970's-80's shells that he's stock piled. Whenever I see them on shelves I buy a few boxes.
Thing runs awesome. Kind of daunting to disassemble, but can be done if you take your time.
I think the main concern for the slam fire is when one has been stored/rusting for some time. The trigger/hammer assembly could possibly wind up rusting/sticking, to where a shell is loaded and instantly fires. Those are rare happenings, but can be of concern when dealing with a model 37 that hasn't been fired in ages.
