I'm good and don't need this, but it is a rare and a pleasure to carry 20 Gauge. It's an Ithaca mod 37 (bottom ejection) Ultralight with a 26" barrel, vent rib, English stock and a 5 pound carry all day 20 gauge. It's Lot 642 on the Amoskeag auction.
It's a rare gun with all the right features for an upland bird gun. The price is right too.
If I was still running Springers, I would not post this and I would own it.

Scarce Ithaca Model 37 English Ultralight Deluxe Slide Action Shotgun
serial #ULT-371763382, 20 ga., 25” ventilated rib barrel choked improved cylinder with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% original blue and anodized finishes that have some light handling and a few very slight impact marks. The checkered deluxe grade stocks rate excellent...

Took mine out to the range last Friday. Had a lot of fun ringing the steel silhouette at 100 yards. I like to call that “minute of man” accuracy. Lol.
The Chinese SKS I picked up was equally fun. Though that thing LAUNCHES spent casings. They were bouncing off the range roof and hitting me on the head.
Haven't tried it yet....just came in today's mail. Busy tomorrow....see what the weather is like over the weekend. Still have 200 rounds of Remington and 120 US military 40/50s.

M1-related material, the M1 is faster on the clock than a 1911:

Carrying the carbine muzzle down and slung, it is 1 second to shoulder with a hasty sling in use and much more accurate with a good cheek weld and sight picture. Deadly out to 100 yards.
Not a GTI import but snuck out with the rock ola to test out some cast loads. I test in a rushed manner and just use elbows on the bench while sitting. Im sure with a decent rest and I took more time I could do better. My Rx just not working out as well either. Carbine front post is much closer than most rifles and My Current Rx does not work well anymore.
first batch was 130 grain cast with 2400 powder first shot went low Upped the rear sight a notch and the remaining 9 shots hit top edge of target and a few into the target frame. Overall not bad for scrap lead cast bullet. I had a heck of a time seeing the front post clearly.
figured out a better hold and then shot of another batch with a different powder but about the same velocity
these favored the right side of the target...still not bad and out shoot most factory 30 carb I have run through this rifle
will be bore scoping later to check for any bore leading
