Remington's History reference states that the Model 31 pump was discontinued in '49, and the 870 Wingmaster was introduced in '51. Can anyone fill me in on Remington's pump shotgun offerings from '49 to '51?

Many Thanks

Thanks, Virginian. A friend of mine, a life long Remington fan, just called and told me that Remington started making the 11-48 in 28 gauge in 1952, and the 410 in '54.

Question for Researcher: What were the most significant differences between the Remington Product and the Browning FN product ? Just purchased a 1941 Model 11 (4+1) with 26 inch IC plain barrel made 3 months before Pearl Harbor. The frame has some mottling, and the stock is all original but with a f...

I'm new to the forum, and have a 16 gauge Model 31 coming from a gunbroker.com dealer. Does anyone know if Remington made a special frame size for their 16 gauge guns in this model ? I'm told they used the 12 gauge frame for the 870. I believe Winchester used a 16 gauge frame for the Model 12, as di...
