from Remington: John M. Browning began developmental work on a new pump-action shotgun in 1913, and had filed for patent protection in late November of that year. Eventually he was issued U.S. Patent #1,143,170 on June 15, 1915, and he granted manufacturing rights to the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company. By then, Remington was gearing up for the war effort, and it would be another six years until the company was ready to produce and market their first 20 gauge, pump shotgun–the Model 17. (pictured advertisement not included)
It was another famous Remington inventor, John D. Pedersen, who, in 1919, made refinements to Browning’s basic Model 17 design, and much later, Remington’s G.H. Garrison would make further design improvements to this shotgun.
The Model 17 is a pump-action, hammerless, underloading, tubular-magazine, bottom-ejecting, take-down shotgun which chambers both 2½” and 2¾” 20 gauge shotshells.
Remington’s Model 17A Standard Grade shotgun was announced on January 3, 1921–initially selling for $60.92, although the price dropped to $52.50 the following year. The shotgun was lightweight, tipping the scales at just 5lbs/12 oz. Dros $60 or send to your FFL
