1946 mfg. REMINGTON ARMS M31 16 Gauge SLIDE ACTION Shotgun C&R GAME GETTER

Post-World War II Era PUMP ACTION Sporting Gun

Here we present a C&R Remington Arms Co. Model 31 Slide Action 16 Gauge Shotgun made in 1946 in Ilion, New York. The Remington Model 31 is a pump-action shotgun that competed with the Winchester Model 1912 for the American sporting arms market. Produced from 1931 to 1949, it superseded the John Pedersen designed Models 10 and 29, and the John Moses Browning designed Model 17. It was replaced by the less expensive to manufacture Remington Model 870 in 1950. The Model 31 was Remington's first side ejecting pump-action shotgun. Stocks were walnut with checkered walnut forend and later changed to a ribbed forend.

During World War II Remington produced a Model 31 riot gun for military use. These were stamped “U.S. Property” on the left side of the receiver. Despite being well received, sales still lagged far behind the Winchester Model 12. Remington went back to the drawing board and designed the Model 870, which matched the durability of the Model 12 at a significantly lower cost. Despite the overwhelming success of the Model 870, many shotgun enthusiasts consider the Model 31 to be the ultimate top of the line in pump shotguns with its “ball-bearing” slide action.
