Thank you Mr. Newbern. So can I presume from the forend wood on the gun that it is a Deluxe model? It was that wood that finally got me to pull out my money, I'd just never seen one like it before.

I went back and re-read your previous post about 31s earliers today, which filled in some of my knowledge gaps. I believe Researcher has outlined the slight differences in design for the three periods of production (1931 to '34, '35 to '41, & 41 to '49) on another post (here?) that I cant find for some reason. Unlike the Model 12, these older Remingtons don't seem to be well cataloged by multiple authors. More's the pity, for they seem to have a bit of a following. I'll bet these guns make great 16s?
