I was given A model by my father-in -law and I want to value it for insurance purposes. He bought it in the 40's, Shot it fives times,and had it in storage until he gave it to me. Original condition and it hasn't been shot since I received it. Please give me some range of value.

    I looked in the Blue Book to find the value of a Remington model 31, 16 gauge. All model 31 listings have a suffix letter such as 31A, 31B,etc. The one I have just has model 31 on the receiver. I don't know if this is how all 31's are stamped or not. Can someone help clarify this a little better. Thanks.

    Is the Remington Model 31 shotgun similar the Winchester model 12 or is an entirely different design? Could it be the forerunner to the 870? Is it considered to be anywhere near equal to the model 12?

    I have a Rem model 31 16 ga., serial # 529797 that has an unusual marking of KJL on the barrel. I have seen on-line that these markings indicate month and year of manufacture but have not seen one with the 3 letter marking as this one. Any ideas?

    1) Entirely different design
    2) The 870 replaced the Model 31
    3) Some do, but most dont.

    The Remington 31 shotgun is a slick, slim, well designed pump shotgun
    that is undervalued in today's market. I prefer it over the bulkier,less smooth, Winchester Model 12. The only issue I could have with it, as I have with Remington's older guns, is the thin flat blue job.

    Have a Remington 31 for 3 years - bought for $150 in vg condition. Basic model but very nice to shoot. Looking for another one to buy but hard to find for reasonable price in good condition in my area. Feel it's about equal to my old Model 12.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.
