Remington model 31, it was built in the 1940’s, my grandads.. Have not shot this gun since I got my SBEII in 2008, figured I needed to show it some love.

Only problem I’m not seeing any dove, I have seen one dove so far, Haskell county. I might try another spot 15 miles from here in the morning.

It’s pretty tough, I’m 61 years old now, I’m slowing down a bit. Hope to put a few crappie in the cooler in the morning and watch the cowboy game at noon!

That 16ga is a full choke, no screw in options. It was really fun to shoot, the pump hard to remember after 14 years shooting an auto.

It has low, med, and high. I put it on high, it puts out piping hot coffee. And for some reason, it makes a unique flavor that is awesome. And push the start button, starts every time, blue fame underneath looks awesome dark 30, gets you all charged up!

Looks like a good time Guy! I like your 16. Fresh hot coffee made in the field always seems to taste good.

Since I started reloading for my 16's I like shooting mine a whole lot more! I've got my uncles old Winchester model 12 skeet and a little Stevens 5100 SxS

Shooting that pump after shooting an auto since 2008 takes some getting used to. Several times I pulled the trigger and had a spend shell in the chamber. Also, I would not have the pump all the way up, so shell is not chambered all the way, pull the trigger and nothing would happen.

I plan on shooting it again next week, I got a case of 16 ga shells I need to use, they are getting old, so why not. Can't let them go bad, that would be a waist, looks like the shell is $23 a box now..

I tell yeah tho, this gun puts off a unique smell of gun powder, it brought back old memories....

I love all my 16’s. Got one Ithaca that’s my grandpas that I need a smith to fix the slide for me. I have some old browning auto with a mod choke that I used to wear out the dove with. Also a bps with a 28” barrel that I like to hunt with. Even an 870 that I turkey hunt with.
