Inland M37 Trench Shotgun

Straightbolt · Mar 23, 2019

Just got home from Engage Armament with my new Inland M37 Trench Shotgun.
It's cool as all heck and will be testing it out tomorrow with some slugs at the range.
Shoutout to Engage for great service and a great price.
Pic is not mine but I do have a 1917 bayonet for it and it fit on nicely.
Thinking about adding a black nylon M1 Garand sling to it.

Love those guns.

Haven't seen this before. I take it it's a repro?

I looked at one of those at Engage very well built gun.

I have the IAC version that trench broom look is awesome

Made in conjunction with Ithaca, they make a high quality pump gun. Congratulations, enjoy it. This is my Ithaca.

I picked one of those up awhile back , great shotgun .

Go with the OD garand sling , it will look better than the black .

I hope I'm not being to forward here, I've got a few questions I would like to ask. Approximately what did it cost you in the end (being out the door)? When and whom did you purchase it from? How do you like the fit and finish of the firearm? Would you mind giving us a range report if you take it out to the range? Thanks ahead of the time.

Will it Slam Fire?

No, Ithaca stopped making them slam fire back in the 70's due to liability reasons, still plenty of old Ithacas out there that will.

Deleted due to similar post at the same time.

Interesting my understanding is the IAC clones will slamfire, though I haven't tried.

First shotgun I ever held in my hands was my Dad's original M-37 Trench gun, sadly he sold it - I've been looking for an original for a long time that doesn't require the sale of a kidney to afford.

I love the retro Ithacas, if I was buying a HD gun I would probably go with one of the new Mossberg line in wood. I believe Engage had one as well last time I was there.

Thinking of trading up on my current shotgun stable and getting rid of some of my synthetic guns for one of these.

Foolish man...….you can never have enough shotguns. Shotgun Joe agrees

Yes they do. At least mine does.
