Was there a pump that came before the model 10 and the model 29?
I think it had the same basic design. I think it might have been the model 8 or 9.
Thanks Pete

As I recall it, the Remington model 8 was a semi-automatic centerfire rifle.

Thinking the 10 was their first pump.

The first ads and mention of the Remington Pump Gun are in 1908

Researcher no doubt could tell us when it was first referred to as the Model 10

And J.R. Graham used one to take individual and team Gold in the 1912 Olympic games in Stockholm

Thanks for the information, but I still think I remember reading somewhere about a pump that came before the model 10 that was produced for a very short time.
I hope someone knows what it might be.

"Remington's first pump-action six-shot repeating shotgun."

Introduction Year: 1908

I just read, that when the first Remington pump shotgun was introduced by Remington in 1908, it was called the model 8 two years later when Remington was reorganized they called it the model 10. It was the same gun but the model designation changed.
Thanks to all that responded. Pete

Are you thinking of the model 17? It was made for a short period of time then it became the Ithaca model 37 down the road. I know it came after the model 10 but just thinking.

Model 8 Remingtons were semi-automatic rifles. The Model 10 started life in 1908 as "The Remington Repeating Shotgun". After Union Metallic Cartridge and Remington merged in 1910, it became the Model 10. The Model 17 design was purchased by Remington from John Browning in 1914, but wasn't produced until 1921 because of WWI. Model 10s were only produced in 12-gauge, Model 17s were only produced in 20. Both the Model 10 (which became the Model 29 in 1929, largely by changing the safety location) and the Model 17 were replaced by the Model 31 in, you guessed it, 1931.
