[Lee Barner]

Model 37, 20 ga, 28" full in 95-98% overall with really nice wood too. I went there to get a name and number of a knife repair guy for ole joe clark. didn't even get a hair cut and spent a lot more money than I thought I would today. did I mention my barber shop is also a gun shop? enjoy. lee

And I thought I was cool because I shave with a Remington.

Nice gun, by the way.

 

[ancient-one]

I have always regretted not buying one. That is a nice one.

It helps when your idea of a great place to take a date is also the best place to survive a Zombie appocolypse.

 

[amazingflapjack]

A good time to have an extra shot gun-if not for your self, then someone else.

 

[LoboGunLeather]

Old Winchesters just don't get any nicer than that one!

 

[Lee Barner]

I saw a lot of these out in the Midwest, but rarely around here. I didn't even know I wanted one til I saw these. a former forum member was in there too and pointed them out. he got the .410. lee

 

[Goldstar225]

Sounds like that would be my kinda barbershop!

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

Wish I could find a barber shop like that. Oh, by the way Lee, it's not my fault you didn't get a haircut!

That's a great looking 20 ga.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Going in there every other month for a haircut could put you on the road to a new safe!

 

[Lee Barner]

I go there pretty often, but I don't have enough hair left to pay for haircuts, I do them myself. I go there to learn all the latest gossip(like women do at the beauty shop) and browse. I do come home with something new to me once in a while. lee

My barber passed about 5yrs ago. His customers were mostly
older guys and they were all hunting & fishing guys. His shop
was a trading post for hunting & fishing gear. I bought a lot of
guns there. I also got a lot of leads there for guns that were for
sale by other people in town. I miss that place & the Barber. Now
I get my hair cut in another old time barber shop but the crowd
there is all football and sports, 24/7/365. RA-RA-RA, no guns or
fishing poles there.

WHAT IS THIS BARBER SHOP YOU SPEAK OF?

AMAZING CONDITION, congrats.

 

[Muley Gil]

There used to be a near-by barber shop that also had an FFL. Prices were too high. Went by there a few months back and he had given up his license.

My barber is also an old time mountain musician. He plays clawhammer banjo, guitar and fiddle.

That is a bird killin scatter gun...
Very nice.

Win 37s in 12&16g are fairly common around these parts. The
20s & 410s are like gold. They usually don't last a day on the
rack in the shops. The bring more than H&R, IJ and Stevens/Sav
but even those are sought after in 20&410g. I talking about the
older model guns that were built on small frames. When new the
gauges all cost the same. Not to many bought small guage guns
because they thought they were getting more for their money
with 12 or 16g. In my area you won't find many guns that are
not Full choke either and the longer the barrel the better. The
long toms are in high demand too.

 

[Lee Barner]

a buddy of mine read me some stuff last night from the blue book. seems they were all full chokes except the youth model which had a 26" Mod barrel. the red letter 28 ga prices are WAY up there. lee

Then there is the Winchester Model 24 - the twin to the Model 37, but it's double-barreled. It was available in 12, 16, and 20. I don't think it was made in 28 or .410.

I've got it's little brother the 20 gauge youth gun. Was my first shotgun as a kid. Enjoy it I still take mine out and fondle it, but haven't shot it in years.

My first shotgun was a model 37 "red letter" in .410. One of many regrets in life was trading it off. Now they are "collectors items", and command $400 price tags. But I still keep looking for a decent condition one, I'll probably find one eventually.

I too buy guns at my barbershop, it's not a gun store, but the guys swap, buy and sell guns and fishing stuff there. My most recent purchase was a S&W 4506-1. Before that, a Remington model 41 in .35 Remington, made in 1940!!
