Were/are they good guns? I know some of the older .410s are pretty sought after.

This may sound crazy & I may be wrong but seems like I remember reading that 37A's were made in canada. I have a regular old 37 in 12 ga & as far as I'm concerned any model 37 is a good gun.

You are correct. I was given a 37A today and it came with original manual. It’s from Canada. Little gun is in fantastic shape to

I love old 37's. A lot of the older fellers around here that use to go to a lot of turkey shoots used them. Seems like no other older shotguns would hold a pattern like the 37's would. I have heard several of the older guys say to never,ever under any circumstance shoot buckshot thru a full choked 37. that would probly be most of em. Some of their family members had borrowed the guns & had shot it thru em. they said the guns never shot the same after buckshot. I doubt that would matter on a 410 with such a small bore. Because of these old timers talking about the buckshot deal- I'd never shoot buckshot thru any make of older single shot guns that were full choke. Wouldn't matter i guess on a newer gun with screw chokes-start getting bad patterns just get a new one. Just thought I'd add that for a talking point.

Thank you for the response and guidance. The bore on this 410 is not scored at all so, I will heed the advise and never shoot buckshot through it. I was also given a model 1200 winchoke with all original chokes, Allen wrench and manual as well. It’s almost mint minus one scratch on the stock. I’m feeling pretty lucky right about now

Yep- your lucky. Those are fine guns.

37A is a good gun and probably more available than the highly prized Model 37. Love my Model 37s in 410.
