Following WW1, the Ithaca Gun Company sought to produce a pump-action shotgun to compete with the ubiquitous Winchester Model 1912. The Ithaca M37 pump-action shotgun was a version of the Remington Model 17 shotgun produced by the Ithaca Gun Company in New York State. The Ithaca 37, also known as the Ithaca Model 37, is a pump action shotgun made in large numbers for the civilian, law enforcement and military markets. Based on a 1915 patent by firearms designer John Browning for a shotgun initially marketed as the Remington Model 17, it utilizes a novel combination ejection/loading port on the bottom of the gun which leaves the sides closed to the elements. First manufactured in 1937, it remains in production today. Large quantities of this shotgun were employed in both the Second World War and the Vietnam war by the US armed forces - who favoured such weapons for close quarter combat; particularly on jungle.
