Need Ithaca Model 37 Featherweight 20ga Barrel

edited June 2004 in Ask the Experts
I just received my Grandfather's Ithaca Model 37 Featherweight 20ga and the bore is VERY pitted. My dad had a heart attack and hasn't cleaned it in a while.

I need a new barrel. Where can I find them and how much are they going for?

I found one listed on Gunbroker, but the seller seems to want a lot for it & I have no idea what the market value for one of these barrels would be.

    Welcome to the forum seancody 1: You may try www.e-gunparts.com (Numrich gun Parts) Thier prices start in the low $200s.

    Depending on how badly it's pitted, a good gunsmith might be able to save it by rehoning it. Sometimes they look a lot worse than they are.

    Rule of thumb on older shotgun barrels, the shorter and more open the choke, the more it cost. I know of a couple other web sites that may help you. Just click on only winchesters to the left to get to the email page. Regards Dave

    sean: Here is another web site: www.corsonsbarrels.com His prices start at $120 to $190. depending on if it's a plain barrel or ribbed. You will need to have the serial number when ordering a barrel, depending on how old your gun is, they made some changes over the years and not all barrels will fit. Regards Dave

    Thank you for suggesting Corsons Barrels! The barrel arrived on Friday. It was in better shape than described and fit my shotgun perfectly. They are a great group of people to do business with.
