The Gun that did much to displace the double at the Traps.

With that company name, that gun is from the 1911 to 1916 time frame. Remington Arms Co. introduced the John D. Pedersen designed pump gun with this announcement in the back of their 1908 catalog --

Remington must have been providing them to "selected" shooters earlier as this picture which appeared in a May 25, 1907, sporting paper shows Frank Riehl holding one.

Even earlier, the art work in the corner of a page in the 1906 Remington Arms Co. catalog shows a hunter with a Remington Repeating Shotgun --

The 1904 GAH was wone with a Winchester Model 1897.

In both 1907 and 1908 the GAH was won with Remington's John M. Browning designed Remington Autoloading Shotgun --

The Remington Repeating Shotgun finally won in 1912.

A really nice condition vintage Remington but come on now Remmies were only one of several repeaters that were to supplant double-guns at the traps. Most recognize the Winchester 1897 and 1912 pump guns as the Kings of the Hill. frank

Now Frank, I thought the description was appropriately crafted for an engineer whose only legal training has been on the receiving end of a divorce lawyer! Lol

You are correct the Winchesters were more commonly made and used by many.

However, most of the Remington clan had quickly moved to them past the autoloader, including Company Reps like George Lyons, J.R. Graham, and H.D. (Jake) Gibbs and quickly made it to many winning circles of the day where I don't see the Winchester mentioned as often.

Keep shucking them they were all finely made at the time!

Another stimulating and very informative thread from the "Thank Me, Spank Me" school of journalism! Merry Christmas to all!! Kevin

Nicest 10 I've ever seen. Add John Phillip Sousa to the list of early users. Don't have a picture of his outrageous 10F Premier Grade, but my article about his Model 10 is in an issue of the Remington Society magazine. The gun itself is safe in my gun room. And you guys say I never share pictures of my guns.
