I pulled my Model 37 in 20 gauge out to clean and decided to replace the butt plate with a thick pad I already had to increase the LOP, well it's just a treat to shoot now..

A Remington 870 I picked up for 180 bucks back in the early 80's. I bought it thinking I could use the heck out of it instead of ruining an expensive shotgun. I still have it, I can't count the birds I took with that gun and it still shoots lights out for me. I have a couple of expensive O/U's also now, but if the weather is bad or the country is rough guess which one I grab.

I have a couple other types I knew would be swell but as a surprise, a 16 gauge Model 37, 28", plain barrel in M...as ordinary as a fly swatter but she pushed aside a like M12 & an early 50s M870, both in 16 gauge.
A bit of the unforeseen with her.

Now you have me looking at 37's

i think my 505 SKB has surprised me a bit more than the second hand 3200 i bought in the early 90's that i was shooting previously.
the 3200 hasn't been in to be rebuilt and has around 30 jillion [about 400 rds a week for over 10 years] rounds through it.
it does need the bottom pin area rebuilt now, but it'd still click along if i asked it to.

the 505 replaced it when i needed a bit lighter gun, a bit of stock fitting and a new firing pin spring and it's been pounding trap targets ever since then, only not at quite as high of a number anymore.

My Stoeger M2000 thing ran flawless for me, had it for several years until my son in law took it and he still uses today.

I have a thing against 16g shot guns but I had a Fox Sterlingworth that floated in your hands. You would swear it was a 20g. One of finest grousers I ever owned. Basically never was into 16s because a 20-3” was just as good. —-I know been through all the arguments 16 vs 20.

I'm curious to see which butt pad you chose, and was it a simple change out or was it a "grind to fit"? Tnx

Yes, it was a simple change out / grind to fit. Actually,

sand to fit on a stationary belt sander.
Its not a hard process if you have the tool and a steady hand.

You're not wrong. The 3" 20ga killed the 16ga, and carries more payload than the 16ga. That's my rub with the 16ga. But my sweet 16...
