| There's a pretty rare Model 31 16 ga skeet that just popped up on Gunbroker. Scarce gun. Started at $450. Be interesting to see where it ends up. |

One bid so far--I bet it'll go for around $700-The 31 was a fine gun-not even listed in the 29th Blue book in 16 gauge only the 12 and 20 skeet versions-  |

The model 31 is basically a sideloading version of the Remington 17/Ithaca 37. It was developed to compete on the target fields w/ the Winchester Model 12. The side port is far more convenient and a bit safer for repetative loading and unloading during a match.
Great pump to be sure, but no better or slicker to shuck than the Model 17/37 in my experience--especially for hunting. I prefer the 37. I like the security of the bottom ejector when in the field. I can carry the 37 with a shell on the lifters w/ the forend back and not have it fall out. Can't do that w/ a side port repeater. Keeps the junk out better too. Browning knew what he was doing. |

| Browning knew what he was doing? Well, with lots of help from Thomas Crosley Johnson and other engineers. |
