Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Winchester’s single-shot Model 37 shotgun was a byproduct of the Great Depression, when capable but inexpensive fowling pieces were a valuable asset to the family table. Simple and robust, the Model 37 featured a break-action receiver with a “semi-hammerless” design, meaning only the hammer spur was visible and accessible. A simple thumb lever atop the rear receiver tang opened the action, and an ejector tossed fired hulls over the shooter’s shoulder with a healthy “ping.”
More than a million Model 37s were made between 1936 and 1963. Winchester moved manufacturing to the Cooey facility in Canada and in the late ’60s brought out the Model 370, which was an adaptation of the 37 and Cooey’s similar Model 84. The 370 was short-lived. Just a few years later, a few more changes were incorporated, including a switch from beech to walnut stocks and a beavertail-type forearm with finger grooves, and the Model 37A arrived in 1973.
While not as prolific as the ancestral Model 37, nearly 400,000 37As were manufactured. These are marked “Made in Canada,” and they were made in most of the available gauges at one time or another, including .410 Bore. The Cooey plant was closed in 1979, and the Model 37A was discontinued.
The gun featured here is a Model 37A Youth which is similar in all aspects to the 37A expect they were chambered only in 20 ga. or .410 and featured a length of pull of 12 1/2".
