Model 31S, how rare?

Spotted a Model 31S trap special w/solid rib on gunbroker. Can't say that I've ever seen one. How rare is it? Production numbers?

Another Nylon 66 question

Spotted a black stocked w/white diamonds nylon 66 with blued metal. The info I can find indicates that Remington never made this version and that it was a CBC import. Further the grip cap should be plain if it is an import. This gun has Nylon 66 embossed on the grip cap. So is this the real thing or...

Re: Nylon 66 Black Diamond

Thanks for the reply! What's the title of your book? I'm unfamiliar with it.

Nylon 66 Black Diamond

Did the Black Diamond version of the 66 have two different metal finishes? I've seen a blued shiny finish and a matte finish that looks more grey than black. Seems the matte finish was on later production guns. Can't find much info about this. Checked the nylon gun forums but didn't find info about ...

Re: low serial number model 10

Thanks for all your efforts! I've become very interested in the history of old shotguns of late, both Remington and Winchester. The history of the Remingtons is not as well documented as Winchesters and your finding this information for me is much appreciated. It amazes me that a gun over 100 years ...

restore or not restore?

I have a couple of old Remington shotguns (10 and 29). The 29 is all original and in very good condition. The 10 is however not that way. The stock looks like it has been coated with epoxy resin probably as part of a repair. ( I can see what looks like fiberglass under the top coat ) Bore is clean a...

low serial number model 10

Bought a model 10 at a local gun auction today. It has a two digit serial number and was wondering if anyone knows what the lowest known existing serial number for a model 10 is. Sure don't see many of these around and this one has some condition problems but it seems to function properly. Nice old ...
