Remington Model 37 Serial Number Research
Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles, as the company rarely changed barrels on a customer’s rifle.
Using these barrel codes to date a shotgun is somewhat unreliable, as shotgun barrels are often interchanged at random. One needs to be sure that the barrel is original to the gun before trusting the Barrel Code listing, above.

Ithaca Shotguns Model 37 Serial Numbers
Us 2 lowlifes were competeing against 2 Win M52 match rifles and the Remington M37, which is also a match type and is a rifle I've lusted after for several years. The scopes on those 3 rifles were a Leupold, Lyman Super Targ-Spot, and a Unertl.
The winner (one of the M52's) shot a 100-8X with some RWS ammo of some type. The other M52 was 2nd, I came in 3rd with a not too shabby 100-3X, the other sporter was 4th and poor old Glen with his magnificent M37/ Lyman was last with a 95.
The whole reason for the story is that Glen was a bit upset and couldn't figure out his problem. I suspect he felt it might need to be cleaned as he called from his bench:
'Hey, Rick. How do you take the bolt out of this Remington?'
My reply was:
'I don't know, but if I owned it I probably would.'
He was lauging when he asked what was I trying to say :-). I don't know if he ever got it out or not. However this past Tuesday he had the Remington with him. Due to various reasons it was only Glen and I there (we were supposed to shoot centerfire pistols). Since we didn't have a match I just got in some practice and shot the S&W M&P in 38 S&W for fun.
Glen was complaining about the accuracy again from the Remington and said he'd cleaned it really well. I asked him what he was using and he said Federal Lightenings. Now someone may get good accuracy from them but I never had so I suggested they might be his problem. And to put a point to it, they obviously weren't working.
In my rangebox I always have a brick of Win Dynapoints and my MkII Ruger, so I suggested he try some of those. Neither of us had any other RF ammo so what the heck? I handed him the box and continued my messing around. In a bit he turned from his rifle and sai to come look at this 5 shot group. I looked through his spotting scope and in the X ring was a 5 shot group with 4 rounds in a tiny hole maybe a bit smaller then a pea with one just out for maybe 3/8' total.
Not bad for $9.63/brick stuff, eh?
He said, here you sit down and shoot 5 (we were at 50 meters). I was kind of nervous as the Lyman 24X really shows up your heartbeat. The crosshairs have a tiny dot at their intersection that just fit inside the X ring. The trigger is such that yuo can feel it against your finger and when you think, 'That looks good' it goes off. So I did my striving best to put 5 into the X ring.
And so I did. I managed to put one betwen his group and the flyer and I just clipped the bottom of his group with 2 more and the other 2 went through the existing hole. Altogether I suspect the group now was a scant half inch. All 10 rounds were well within the 5/8' X ring. Glen took a look and was pretty happy. To have 2 different people fire 10 rounds of bulk 22RF ammo into such a tight group is pretty nifty.
I gave him the rest of that brick of ammo. It increased my desire for the Remington and re-inforced my liking for Winchester Dyna-Points. I have one un-tapped case and maybe another 6-8 bricks comprising 3 lots, so who's to say what they might do? I sure don't see it getting much better! Of course my Rem 582 won't do that, but it does do a very satisfactory job none the less.
