Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 31 is a classic pump-action shotgun that carved out a significant place in American firearms history during its production run from 1931 to 1949. Designed to compete directly with the Winchester Model 1912, the Model 31 was Remington’s first shotgun featuring a side-ejection system, a significant innovation that allowed for smoother operation and more efficient reloading. Chambered for 12-gauge shells with a 2 ¾" chamber and equipped with a 30" barrel featuring a full choke bore, the Model 31 is well-suited for both hunting and sport shooting. Its blue finish, coupled with a silver bead front sight, gives it a classic, aesthetically pleasing appearance, while the smooth walnut buttstock and ribbed forearm enhance both comfort and grip during use. The Model 31 was not only a response to market demand but also a product of thoughtful engineering, resulting in a shotgun that was both reliable and effective. During its lifetime, approximately 121,000 units were produced in 12-gauge, alongside additional models in 16- and 20-gauge. The shotgun's reputation for quality was further solidified by its adoption by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935, where one Model 31 was issued to each office in response to the infamous Kansas City Massacre. During World War II, a version of the Model 31 was adapted for military use as a riot gun, further demonstrating its versatility. Although ultimately replaced by the more cost-effective Model 870 in 1950, the Model 31 is still regarded by enthusiasts as one of the finest pump shotguns ever made, with its "ball-bearing" slide action setting a standard for smooth operation. Its design influenced future shotguns, including the Mossberg 500, illustrating its enduring impact on the field of firearms.
