Remington Model 10s, Model 17s, Model 29s, Model 31s, and now Model 17s built 6-years after they supposedly stopped production? No wonder I'm having a hard time makeing sense of it all. Pre-WWII Remington pumpguns are a veritable cornucopia of models and gauges!
Let's see If I'm following correctly, Model 10s were 12-bore only, Model 17s were 20-bore only. Model 10s were replaced by Model 29s (in 12-bore only, and only built for 3-years). Both the Model 29s and the Model 17s were replaced by the new Model 31s (in 12, 16, and 20-gauge) in 1934, with Ithaca adopting Remington's then discarded Model 17 design to build their Model 37. Whew!
It sounds to me like Remington was doing everything it could to compete with Winchester's venerable Model 12, and only meeting with marginal success.
