Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Regarded by shotgun historians as "The Ball Bearing Repeater," the Remington Model 31 stands as one of the smoothest pump-action shotguns ever manufactured in America. Produced from 1931 to 1949 with a solid machined steel receiver, the Model 31 was famously favored by law enforcement agencies, state correctional facilities, and the U.S. Military during WWII for its unmatched reliability and lightning-fast slide operation. This remarkable law enforcement surplus example features an authentic, original state correctional inventory plate riveted directly to the left receiver, reading "PROPERTY OF NORTH CAROLINA STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION" alongside asset ID "63100210." Configured as a classic prison guard riot/duty gun with a 20-inch cylinder bore barrel, smooth walnut stock, and ribbed corncob forend, this Model 31 retains matching serial numbers on both the barrel and receiver. Offering rich law enforcement provenance and iconic pre-war Remington engineering, correctional-marked Model 31 shotguns represent exceptional additions to police surplus and military arms collections.
This authentic law enforcement surplus shotgun, serial number 10826, is a genuine Remington Model 31 manufactured in Ilion, New York. Chambered in 12 Gauge, this shotgun features a 20-inch cylinder bore barrel, brass bead sight, blued steel finish, factory walnut furniture, matching barrel serial number, and an original North Carolina State Department of Correction property plate. Preserved in honest, original service condition throughout with an attractive smooth grey/blue patina, legible stampings, glass-smooth slide travel, positive lockup, and a bright 12-gauge bore. Offering verified state correctional history and legendary Model 31 mechanical action, this NC DOC Remington shotgun represents a standout law enforcement collectible.
