Re: Dating Kleanbore shells & box

That style box begins to appear in 1934 and began being replaced with the green and red boxes which were introduced in 1939 on the Shur-Shot trap and skeet loads with the "New Remington Crimp." The Arrow Express extra length shells still used that style box for a few years after WW-II. Fro...

Re: Model 17

It would be near the end of the Model 17 production. According to the old factory ledger the receiver with that serial number was put in work between 19 and 26 May 1933. Model 17 production essentially ended in October 1933 with one more gun produced in 1939. There should be a two-letter date code o...

Re: remington model 31 marking info.

Possibly something like Independence, Oregon, Police with P-48 a rack number.
Ironton, Ohio, Police
Inola, Oklahoma, Police

In reality, something lost to history.

Re: Model 11 Shotgun

The receiver with serial number 390722 was put in work during 1936. That is right in the time frame when Remington started putting the roll-stamped birds on the sides of the Model 11A, B & C receivers, though they still pictured the plain receiver in the 1936 & 7 catalogs -- March 6, 1936, M...

Re: Sportsman Serial Numbers

Serial number 772379 would be a post-WW-II gun, 1946 to 49. The old factory ledger ended at serial number 716840 as of 9/1/44. The highest serial number I've recorded is 804163 with a barrel date code of KTT which is K = May TT=1948.

Re: model 17

As Remington was spinning off excess capacity and debt after the wartime contracts of WW-I were cancelled, so they formed a new corporation in 1920, Remington Arms Co., Inc. and a couple months later the old corporation, The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., Inc., was dissolved. The Model...

A bit more information to add to that stated above. The lower priced (slightly simplified?)

Re: SKEET vs SKEET-B vs SKEET-T

The Model 1100 has been in production 70 years. There are a lot of variations. From the introduction in 1963-4 there was the Model 1100 SA Skeet and the Model 1100 SB Skeet B with slightly nicer wood. Actually, in the first year of two they listed the Model 1100 SC with much nicer wood and cut check...

Re: Older 12 GA Serial Number Question

I don't see anything odd about a receiver put in work during August/September 1940 getting finished up with a January 1941 barrel.

The highest 12-gauge serial number I've recorded is 804638 so your gun is from the last year or two,
