They only came in 20 gauge. I have a 17C Deluxe model made in 1928 with a solid rib and hand cut checkering. I also have a 20 gauge Ithaca Model 37 in 20 gauge. The Model 17 is much lighter and more svelte than the Ithaca. Parts look very similar, but parts from one won't fit the other. What you have is NOT the Premier, Those were heavily engraved. You have the 17B - Special Grade. That had a plain barrel, but the hand cut checkering.
The barrel nut only turns a 1/4 turn down as if you were tightening the barrel. It’s a left hand thread. After screwing the barrel nut down all you do is grab the barrel and turn it 1/4 twist then the barrel comes off. It’s easier if you pull the slide back a inch or so. I have the same gun. They were only produced in 20 gauge only.
Could you possibly do a quick video of how to actually take the barrel out of the receiver ? I can't for the life of me seem to do it no matter how much I fiddle with the end cap
... the Browning "BPS" ... made in the 1990's was a brother to the 17 and 37's ... love these pump models for hunting ... especially waterfowl ...

The best pump shotgun made today is the Ithaca model 37 out of Upper Sandusky Ohio. Long life for this design.

2 3/4 in shells? Some shotguns from that time used shorter ones.

Damn all the screws on the left side of receiver ate all buggered up. Numerich gun parts may have replacements. Nice shotgun

Youre leaving out the design JMB developed and sold to stevens in 1906 which became the stevens 520.
