Remington model 31

I don't think I've posted in the shotgun forum before. Haven't really had anything to talk avout I guess. I've had a 500 for a while for HD and a Yildiz O/U which I like alright.

But Friday I picked up a Model 31...it's definitely "used", some bluing wear, a little finish wear on the stock. Slick action though, came with a poly choke. I know many people don't like those, but it's growing on me. Best part perhaps, only paid $ 110 for it . Merry Christmas to me...!

That's downright larceny, even with the dial a duck choke. You may want to have Briley or Orlen remove the contraption and thread it for tubes.

The 31 is one of the best pumps ever. Slick as owl snot, lasts longer than a bad reputation.

Enjoy....

I have a model 31 in 16 gauge..

great guns,, last forever(they were discontinued in 1941 I think),, but due to so dang many on the market,, they really arent all that valuable..

but you still did good @ 110 bucks

Actually, they were made until 1949; being discontinued just prior to the advent of the famous Model 870. Without a doubt, the Model 31 is one of the nicest pump shotguns ever made.
