Remington 310
Hello All, Newbie here with some questions about a value of a Remington 310 and more than 1900 rounds of shells. I did a search and found a thread from 09. I was hoping to get more recent info if you guys had any.
I got the gun from my father who recently passed away. It is 1 of 50 prototypes made here in the us. They told me at Remington that they raffled them off to employees when they canned the project. My dad worked for Remington in the mid to late 60's. He also co-invented, designed and patented the indoor Target Throwing Trap for the 310. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Peter |

What exactly do you have? How about some pictures?
The only Remington Model 310 I'm finding is an over/under shotgun of recent manufacture, made in Russia and imported to the US market under Remington's logo.

This is a single barrel (8mm?) shotgun. It was developed for indoor skeet shooting. It never went to market. They made a few thousand in Brazil but only some of those came to the states. This one is one of the prototypes made in Connecticut or New York.

It been a long time since I saw one of those. Early 1970's I used one in a San Diego gun range. they had a really different indoor clay target setup. The targets were launched "at you" from a trap across the room. If you missed the target it impacted just below you.
It was fun, but never caught on. |
