My model 31 is a field grade 12.. I like pump shotguns and have several.. The 31 was known as the gun with the ball bearing action.. My is certainly smoother than the others I own..
Saw a nice trap model in Tx. last year,but the store would not sell it to me, I would have had to ship it.. So I passed.. Great gun...

Thanks W/C/H, I will try to post a picture, it has some scars but overall not bad. $ 600.00 seems a bit steep, but I guess they are scarce, best regards............buntingmiester

I think that was about the price on the one in Texas.. I would have loved to have it, but with shipping it just was too much!!

Model 31 Trap is getting rare. Is it a "TC"? 600 for one in fair original condition is a good buy. They had some REALLY good barrels and just smoke targets.

Lets see that sucker!

Depends on condition. If excellent or better, then it is cheap. However, most folks who ought these guns (target models) bought them to shoot and shot a lot. As such, few remain in really pristine condition.

A lot of the trap guns seem to have ended up with aftermarket wood as well FWIW.
