Remington Society

Spotted a Model 31S trap special w/solid rib on gunbroker. Can't say that I've ever seen one. How rare is it? Production numbers?

Spotted a black stocked w/white diamonds nylon 66 with blued metal. The info I can find indicates that Remington never made this version and that it was a CBC import.
