What’s Included
- Remington Model 10A Standard Grade 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Model 10A is known for its bottom-loading and bottom-ejecting system, directing empties downward and keeping the ejection path clear. This early mass-market bottom-eject design is paired with a hammerless (internal striker) action and a solid-breech receiver, creating a streamlined sporting shotgun layout.
The 30 inch round barrel is fitted with a full-length matted sighting rib/plane and a single front bead, offering a clean visual reference along the rib. This configuration reflects the Standard Grade sporting setup and complements the shotgun’s six-shot capacity using its tubular magazine.
The walnut stock has a half-pistol grip and straight comb, matched to a classic corncob-style walnut forend for sure handling. The length of pull measures 13.6 inches. Period-correct details include the action bar cover marked "Remington" with "TRADE" and "MARK," and a hard-rubber buttplate molded "REMINGTON UMC TRADE MARK."
This takedown construction allows the barrel and magazine assembly to separate from the receiver for transport and maintenance. The shotgun carries a U-prefix serial marking consistent with the line, underscoring its place among the Model 10A Standard Grade sporting variants produced in the United States.
