Anyone have any experience with this model Remington? I ran across one in 16 ga.. It's not that I need it but thought it might be an interesting addition to my 16 ga. stable. I've done a little research on this model and found that it was considered one of the best made and smoothest functioning pumps ever. It came out after the model 17 and was Remington's first side ejecting pump. They were manufactured from 1931 to 1949. They were expensive to make because much of the gun was hand machined. That's why Remington discontinued them and came out with the 870, as the 870 was cheaper to make. I've always thought the 870's were kind of bullet proof but now I find that they actually had a better gun in the model 31.
