Remington Model 17

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Remington Model 17 originated from a hammerless, bottom-ejecting pump-action shotgun design patented by John Browning in 1915. Manufacturing rights passed to Remington Arms, which could not begin production until 1921 because of wartime demand, after John Pedersen and later G. H. Garrison altered the design. The trim 20-gauge Model 17 went on to serve as the design basis for the later Remington Model 31, Ithaca 37 and Browning BPS shotguns, and its features were also carried into the Mossberg 500 and Remington 870.
