I still shoot my Dad's M31 for ducks. Was a 30" F, but I cut it to 28 and added a Briley Thinwall system so I could shoot steel. Wonderful gun. Would be one of the last I would sell.
Also have a 31L 20 gauge which is my wet weather grouse gun

As a kid my step up from a .410 single was a Rem model 31 20ga deluxe. I moved on from that gun but never really improved on it...Geo

My 20 gauge 31L with a plain 28" barrel weighs in at 5 pounds 12 ounces. Delightful gun from 1947. Almost unfired original condition, paid $100 last year at a small local gun shop.

Is there a gunsmith who is versed in the Model 31 and has a few parts?

According to the old Remington factory ledger, the highest 12-gauge Model 31 serial number they had reached by 30 June 1942 was 40655, and this gun is 52215?
