Antique Shotgun
My dad has Remington Model 31 12 gauge in 75% condition. None of the gun stores I have called have heard of it. Anyone know what its worth and where I can get other barrels for it.

Rem 31
Have 2 bbls for the 12 and 1 20 ga One 12 has solid rib and a cutts comp and the other has vent rig with imp cyl choke. Both bbls are very expensive A very nice gun and about as smooth as you can make a pump gun..... comparable to a Win M-12 ...close anyway. Also have a 31 C skeet pretty gun and shoots pretty good.

Not an antique, I rember when they were the only pump shotgun Rem. It has the smoothest action of any pump shot gun, Md. 12 addicts will jump on me for that, but that is may opinion after owning both. Receivers came steel and an alloy light weight one. I shoot a 16 ga. light weight and love it. By the way only pump shotgun I own. Have a number of others but if I need a pump it will be a Rem Model 31, and it is an older model not an antique, please.

Great gun by the way!

popplecop:
This 77 year old read your posts with delight that we "older" people have a champion! ( I enjoyed your description of yourself as a retired "game warden". That was the title I knew in upstate NY in my youth (before the publicity people thought it sounded better to say "Conservation officer") (The first game warden I knew walked with a bad limp -the product of a deer jacker shooting him in the knee. The jacker was caught up with by our local State Troopers who shot him after he "resisted arrest". (In those days it was a very bad idea to shoot at a law officer) Anyway, I too carried the Rem 31 in my youth. I can't claim to have compared it to a Win. Mod. 12 because I never owned a Mod.12 -but very definitely I remember its smoothness. (I have owned any number of Rem Wingmasters and they all were good -but no better than that Rem. 31. ( I do have to say that I owned for 3-4 grouse seasons, a Win. Mod. 97 - straight grip, hammer -used, of course - and I killed more grouse with that shotgun than I ever did with any other. I wanted a more "modern" shotgun. My father's advice about keeping a gun that kills was ignored. I got my "modern" shotgun. An Ithaca Mod.37 -and the light weight and bottom ejection threw me off completely in shooting at ruffed grouse. Then I got to a Rem Mod.31. I stuck with Rem. shotguns ever after. (BTW, never drove a De Soto. Can't remember what the hood emblem looked like so I can't remember the car. I do miss hood emblems. Now I know that I probably rank as an "antique"!)

Well, our official title was Conservation Warden, and that still is. But everyone knew us as Game Wardens, but we were called by a lot of other names that I won't get into. They say age is a state of mind, only problem is my mind keeps shifting as to how old I feel, somedays stuck in neutral. Oh yes, when they delivered dirt the commands were gee and haw, really remember that from skidding logs. Most young people won't know what I'm talking about, but I'm that way some of the time. Might take my 31 out this next week and shoot at a pheasant.
