Sorta- I took a Ithaca Flues 20 grade 1 in on part payment for a W. & C. Scott 16 I sold (I don't like 16's Bastard Gauge IMO) and when I removed the buttstock from the receiver and saw the "guts" I was impressed by the design and metal finish work- the sliding safety bar and the linkage- waaay better than those on my older Smiths- This Ithaca and my Smiths all have the older three position safety- nice if you shoot clays with your side-by-sides, or for a live bird shoot as well- My Parkers have the conventional two position automatic safety- I have also stripped a New Ithaca Gun (No- not the NID) circa 1906- the first boxlock hammer gun I have had on my bench to date- wow- a machinist's "piece de resistance" intricate cuts, lotsa drilled and tapped small holes, coil mainspring and the same adjustable bolt wear take-up as used on the hammerless Flues- BUT- count me out of the Ithaca fan club for the M37- a pumpgun (to me) is always a Model 12--
