I have two, 12 gauge vent rib skeet gun with a factory cutts and a 16 gauge 28 inch modified with a extra 26 inch skeet barrel also cutts. Very smooth action, easy to take down and clean. I find that they are stocked a little low for me and I tend to lift my head on wild birds to see the bird clearly. On the skeet field that is not a problem since I have my head firmly planted. I shoot pheasants better with my Model 12 Winchester since it fits me better, however it is not even close to the smooth action of the 31. I also look for them at gun shops and shows. Nice guns with very precise machining on the inside of the receiver. Old school quality from the 30's and 40's. No plastic and no stamped parts.
