What's Included
- Remington Model 31 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Model 31's 30-inch steel barrel is paired with a fixed FULL choke and a single front bead, delivering a straightforward sight picture and a traditional long-barrel configuration. The 2 3/4 inch chamber aligns with the period-correct load standards for this platform.
Its takedown-style barrel and magazine assembly use a knurled magazine cap, allowing the front end to separate for transport and maintenance. The receiver is steel with a blued finish, matching the barrel for a uniform, period-appropriate look.
Controls and operation are classic Model 31: right-side ejection, bottom loading, and a smooth pump stroke driven by the standard single action bar design. Capacity is 4+1.
The walnut stock has a pistol-grip profile and is matched by a checkered walnut fore-end for confident handling. A Remington-marked black composition buttplate with molded serrations completes the stock, and the length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Built in the United States during the 1930s–1940s era, this example reflects the materials and fit typical of Remington's well-regarded pump-action lineup from that period, including the "ball-bearing repeater" marketing that highlighted its smooth cycling.
