Goergen's gun shop has a model 31 Remington lightweight in 16 available. This is an aluminum receiver gun, and, contrary to what some might have you believe, is a durable and simply wonderful gun to carry all day. This one is 28" in the barrel, with a full choke. The price listed is $325. I have no financial interest in this gun, and already own an Ultra Ithaca in 16, so I really don't need it. But, I would like to see it end up with one of our cult members. Goergen's is located in Austin MN, and the phone # is 507-433-9280.
Good Luck!
Best,
Ted |

I just had mine out yesterday--Rem Mod 31L--and I love it. Mine is Polychoked with a compensator, and it's a great gun. Carries all day, handles wonderfully. I hadn't shot it in a long time, and I'm kicking myself now for ignoring it. It's almost embarrassing to admit, given the much more expensive guns I own, but this one is hard to beat.
Somebody here ought to grab it! |

Well Pete, I guess I've never had the digital postal scale handy when I've had both a steel framed 31 and it's aluminum brother in the same room...to be honest, I've never had a steel and aluminum version of the 31 side by side at the same time, but the difference between a steel framed Ithaca 37 and an Ultra is significant between 16 gauge, and when you compare the 16 Ultra to a 12 with a steel receiver, it is downright amazing. That 31 is a 16, and with the aluminum receiver would be a nice gun for those days when it is uphill the whole way.
Best,
Ted |

Don't know what happened to the PM, someplace out in cyberspace. Hopefully the gun will arrive next week, will advise. Again I thank you Ted. |
