Remington 10
Notes:
Originally designed in the early 1900s by John D Pederson (inventor of the
Pederson Device for the Springfield M-1903 rifle), this design was placed upon
the market as the Model 1908 in 1907.
In 1910, after a few modifications, the designation was changed to the
Model 1910, and shortly thereafter, the Model 10.
This shotgun introduced the streamlined receiver which has since become
associated with virtually all Remington shotguns.
The initial
Model 10s used barrels of 26, 28, or 30 inches; they were designed for sporting
purposes, not as military or police weapons.
Chokes were fixed, but the barrel could be ordered with cylindrical,
Improved Cylinder, Modified, or Full chokes.
The Model 10 uses a tubular magazine, with loading and spent case
ejection through the same port under the receiver.
The safety is in front of the trigger guard, easy to reach with the
trigger finger. As with most
weapons of the period, metalwork is steel, with furniture being of walnut.
Starting in
1908, Remington produced a version of the Model 10 called the Model 10 Riot Gun
(at first known as the Model 1908 Riot Gun).
This version was nearly identical to the standard Model 10, but used a
longer tubular magazine and a shorter 20-inch barrel.
This version was originally produced in response to requests from various
police departments, but with the US entry into World War 1, Remington began
producing a military version as well.
The Model 10 Military was virtually identical to the Model 10 Riot Gun,
but had a lug which allowed the mounting of many of the different kinds of
bayonets used at the time by the US military.
Remington also produced a version of the Model 10 Military specifically
for the Russian Czar’s Army which accepted the Mosin-Nagant rifle’s bayonet, but
the 1917 Russian Revolution cancelled this order, almost leaving Remington stuck
with a large stock of Model 10s designed for Russian bayonets and with sights
graduated in arshins (a very old Russian measurement of length).
Fortunately, the US government purchased almost all of these shotguns,
and then gave them to the White Russian forces the US was supporting during the
Russian Revolution.
Model 10 Riot
Guns and Military versions eventually ended up on both sides of the law in the
US after World War 1. It was
regarded as a better shotgun for military purposes than the Winchester 97s that
the US military was issued at the time (it was a much more reliable shotgun
which was also more easily field-stripped and tolerant to dirt), but politics
intervened, and the Model 10 Military ended up being used by the US in World War
1 in far fewer numbers than the Winchester 97.
Police forces did not have this bias, and used the Model 10 Riot Gun in
much larger numbers. Hunters also
loved the Model 10. Eventually,
Remington replaced the Model 10 with the Model 29; today, most Model 10s are
still quite functional, as they were so well constructed, but they are far more
valuable as collectors’ items.

Remington 17R
Notes:
Introduced shortly after World War 1, the Remington 17R (R for Riot) is one of
the few 20 gauge combat shotguns to achieve any sort of success.
Ironically, it was not the full-sized gun that was popular with police;
it was a cut-down model, known as the Model 17R Special Police, which had the
greatest success. The Model 17RSP
has no stock, a shorter 15-inch barrel, and a pistol grip.
(There were innumerable variations of the Model 17RSP, with the pistol
grip removed or shortened, the barrel cut down to scattergun lengths, handgrips
on the slide, etc.) The Model 17RSP
is the shotgun that was first known as a “whippit gun.”

Remington 31
Notes: The
Remington 31 has its genesis in the World War 1 “Trench Brooms.”
The Model 31, however, was designed to be marketed to military, police,
and concerns, with different barrel lengths and calibers; the “Riot Gun-type”
versions of the Model 31 was actually added to the Model 31 line shortly after
the Model 31 itself was introduced.
The Model 31 was produced from 1930-49, at which time it was replaced by the
first Model 870 shotguns.
Standard
civilian models had barrel lengths of 26, 28, or 30 inches, with steel metalwork
and walnut furniture with a semi-pistol grip wrist.
The civilian Model 31 was more or less similar to other such civilian
shotguns of the time. The civilian
versions came in several gauges, though when it was first introduced, the Model
31 was available only in 12 gauge; more gauges were quickly introduced a few
months later by popular demand. The
trigger action tended to be a bit heavy and was not adjustable except by a lot
of tinkering by a skilled gunsmith, and the tubular magazine is a bit short in
all versions. This small magazine
capacity is acceptable in a civilian weapon, but not in a police or military
weapon.
The Model 31
Riot Gun was basically similar to the civilian versions, but had a 20-inch
barrel. It was available in all the
same gauges as the civilian models.
A Police/Military version was also made; it had an 18.5-inch barrel, was built
heavier and more robustly, and available only in 12 Gauge.
The military really liked the Model 31 despite its shortcomings, but the
bayonet adapters the US Army and Marines had at the time fit only the Winchester
Model 12, and the Remington 31 got few military orders, despite the fact that
Remington was willing to modify the interface of US bayonet adapters to allow
the Model 31 Police/Military to use US bayonets of the time.
Another version of the Model 31, the Model 31RX, was a special “whipit”
gun version with no stock, a 14.5-inch barrel, and available only in 20 gauge.
All Model 31
barrels had fixed chokes, but Remington would make the barrels with any choke
the buyer desired. Due to their
rugged construction, Model 31s should still be quite functional today despite
their age, but are perhaps more valuable as collectors’ items.

Remington 870 Express
Notes: This
version of the Remington 870 was designed to be a no-frills, inexpensive (by
real-world prices) version of the standard Remington 870P.
It first appeared in 1987.
Quality did not suffer in the bargain, however.
There are a large number of the Express:
the standard Express is built for 12 or 20 gauge 2.75-inch shells with
two barrel lengths. It has a
hardwood stock and fore-end. The
Model 870 Express Turkey is designed for 12 gauge 2.75-inch shells and has a
short barrel of only 21 inches. The
metalwork is matte blued and the stock and fore-end are of hardwood.
The Model 870 Express Youth is a 20 gauge model with a 21-inch barrel
with interchangeable chokes for shot throwing and an interchangeable 20-inch
rifled barrel. The Model 870
Express Deer Gun is a version with a 20-inch barrel.
In 1992, the
Model 870 Express Fully Rifled Deer Gun was introduced; this is not really a
shotgun (but is included here for completeness), but a rifle capable only of
firing 12 gauge slugs (shooting shot through it would ruin the rifling).
It has a short 20-inch barrel.
The Model 870 Express Combo is identical, but has interchangeable barrels
for shot and rifled slugs. Also
introduced in 1992 was the Model 870 Marine Magnum, designed for use on boats
and ships. It has a very short
18-inch barrel, matte nickel plating for the metalwork, and a black high-impact
plastic stock and fore-end. It is
chambered for 3-inch shells. In
1995, the Model 870 Express HD (Home Defense) came out; this was an
18-inch-barreled version with a 3-inch chamber and a fixed Cylindrical choke.
The stock and fore-end are of black plastic, and the magazine is shorter
than most 870s. (The Home Defense
was discontinued in 2000.) In 1996,
the Model 870 Express Small Gauge appeared, designed for 20 and .410 gauges.
The 20 gauge model has a choice of two barrel lengths and interchangeable
chokes; the .410 gauge version has one barrel length (25 inches) and a fixed
Modified choke. Production of the
Express Small Gauge stopped in 1999.
In 1997, a new version of the Express Combo was introduced; this version
has the same smoothbore and rifled barrels, but also has 28-inch smoothbore
barrel with a ventilated barrel rib.
In 1998, even
more versions of the Model 870 Express were introduced.
The Model 870 Express Turkey Camo has a plastic stock with a camouflage
finish known as “Real Tree Advantage.”
It has a 21-inch barrel and has a set of interchangeable chokes.
The 870 Express Youth Turkey Camo is basically the same, but is chambered
for 20 gauge.
Also in 1998,
the Express Super Magnum was introduced.
This shotgun is designed for 12 gauge 3.5-inch shells, but can also fire
shorter shells. It was made in five
different versions: the standard Express Super Magnum, with a 28-inch barrel,
interchangeable chokes, and a hardwood stock and fore-end; the Express Super
Magnum Combo with a 26-inch shot barrel with interchangeable chokes and an
interchangeable 20-inch rifled barrel (which is designed only for 2.75-inch or
3-inch shells); The Express Super Magnum Synthetic has a 26-inch barrel,
interchangeable chokes, and a black plastic stock and fore-end; the Express
Super Magnum Turkey Camo, with a 23-inch barrel, fixed Extra Full choke, plastic
stock and fore-end, and completely camouflaged (including the metal); and the
Express Super Magnum Turkey, identical to the Camo but with a black plastic
stock.
In 2002, a 16
gauge version of the Model 870 Express was introduced, the first Remington
shotgun to be chambered in 16 gauge since 1980.
It has a hardwood stock and fore-end, and a 28-inch barrel with a
ventilated sighting rib. The 870
Express Synthetic is the same weapon with a plastic stock.
The Express Synthetic Youth is the same weapon with a short 23-inch
barrel.

Notes: The Model 870 Express versions, The Express Super Magnum versions, and
the 16 gauge versions do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Remington 870 Mark 1
Notes:
This was originally a USMC development of the Remington 870P that was
designed in the mid-1960s, and saw long service with that organization until
officially replaced by the Mossberg M590 in the early 1990s.
However, large numbers of these shotguns were still in service at the
time of the Twilight War, both with all branches of the regular US Military and
reserve forces (particularly with the Army National Guard).
Mark 1 through Mark 6 versions were produced, but only the Mark 1, 3, and
6 versions were produced in any large numbers.
The Mark 1 is the most common version, with an extended magazine, bayonet
lug, and rifle-type sights; the Mark 3 is the same weapon with a bayonet lug.
The Mark 6 is the Air Force security version, with a shorter barrel and
shorter tubular magazine; it is basically the civilian 870P 20-inch barrel
version with the addition a bayonet lug, rifle-type sights, and more durable
chrome in the barrel to better stand up to the firing of slugs.
Twilight 2000
Notes: There were probably just as many Remington 870s as Mossbergs in service
during the Twilight War.

Notes:
Originally developed in the 1950s, the 870P has been a standard of police
work since then, and is also in common military use worldwide (even in the US)
The 870P can have a top-folding stock, extended tubular magazine, swing swivels,
and bayonet lugs. It is a very popular weapon with civilians (there are a number
of hunting and skeet versions) as well as with law enforcement personnel and the
US Military; it is one of the oldest weapons in US military service, having been
adopted in the early 1950s. Though
there are a large amount of barrel lengths and calibers available, virtually all
870P’s in police and military service are 12-Gauge models with either an 18.5”
or 20” barrel, though a 14-inch-barreled entry gun is available to the military
and police. The 28-inch barrel
version is also in common use in the US in prisons, where it is known as a
“Tower Gun” since its primary use in prison work is by guards in the lookout
towers surrounding some prisons.
This version is more akin to the other Military/Police models in construction,
except of course for the long barrel.
While the typical civilian Model 870P is an “off-the-shelf” item built on
standard Remington assembly lines, Military/Police models are built by
Remington’s Law Enforcement Custom Shop.
Firearms expert
JM Ramos, in an article for Small Arms
Review, modified the Remington 870P into the Tactical Road Blocker.
As the name suggests, this version is meant to provide a weapon to stop
vehicles who don’t want to stop as roadblocks.
The base is a 20-inch-barrel version of the Remington 870P, and adds an
adjustable/sliding stock, a padded buttplate, a Speedfeed brace of six shells on
the right side of the stock, a MIL-STD-1913 rail atop the receiver, a pump slide
with MIL-STD-1913 rail to the sides and below the slide, a pistol grip on the
side, adjustable flip-up rifle-type sights, and a bipod.
A carrying handle and an EOTech reflex sight is an option (the EOTech is
included in the stats below). The
barrel has a perforated cooling shroud and an extended magazine.
Though the Tactical Road Blocker is designed for rifled slugs, buckshot
can also be used.
C&S
Metall-Werkes (who, despite their name, is a US company in Missouri), has
modified the Model 870P into a short-barreled shotgun/pistol.
C&S Metall-Werkes is a Class 2 manufacturer who can modify and tune
weapons ranging from cheap revolvers to M-2HB machineguns to 37mm autocannons
and more. Every so often, they let one of their modification designs out of the
stable and sell them on the general market.
If you buy this particular modification of the M-870P, it will require
much taxes and fees and even more paperwork, as it is legally an AOW (Any Other
Weapon) due to it’s 12.5-inch barrel and having no stock, but being too long to
be classed as a pistol. The Remington 870P AOW (for lack of something short and
snappy to call it – it is not an official name) has a shortened magazine
cylinder under the barrel. The
12.5-inch barrel does not accept Remington interchangeable chokes, but is
equipped with a Trulock Tactical Choke, which is designed to maximize the
effectiveness breaching rounds and buckshot, and its spiked end allows one to
seat the shotgun completely against items like rebar and doorknobs, and acts to
put a proper standoff distance for locks and hinges.
It also acts as a muzzle brake. The grip is a Speedfeed-designed bird’s
head grip, and the front of the slide has a hand grab to help stabilize the
weapon when firing. The sides of the barrel have MIL-STD-1913 rails about six
inches long attached. Underneath the barrel, ahead of the slide’s throw, is a
six-inch rail, where the MagPul AFG is normally attached. These are attached to
SureFire M-69 870 Forend. The AOW
is berift of any sort of sights, indicative of the short engagement ranges for
which this weapon is designed.

Remington MCS
Notes: Though
the HK/Benelli M-1014 is intended to replace the Mossberg M-590 series as the
standard US Military shotgun, many members of the military pointed out several
glaring problems with a semiautomatic shotgun (like the M-1014) in certain
circumstances: a tubular-feed semiautomatic shotgun typically cannot use mixed
forms of ammunition in one tube, semiautomatic shotguns cannot be “hand-fed,” so
that certain special loads needed at the spur-of-the-moment may be used, certain
loads (such as standard low-lethality and riot control rounds, as well as most
shotgun flares) will not cycle in a semiautomatic shotgun, they cannot easily
take modifications such as certain special stocks and extended magazine tubes
(most have to be specially-made for semiautomatic shotguns and require the
services of an armorer for fitting), and because most semiautomatic shotguns are
gas-operated (as the M-1014 is), there is a limit as to how short the barrel can
be made.
Therefore,
Remington came up with a special version of the Model 870P, called the MCS
(Modular Combat Shotgun, sometimes known as the Remington 870P MAX, though this
is a misnomer since the actual Model 870P MAX is a type of police version of the
Model 870P Military/Police with a Speedfeed IV stock and different sights).
The MCS has a stock-changing system known as “Rem-Loc,” which allows the
MCS to take a standard wood stock, polymer stock, Speedfeed IV stock, a Pachmayr
synthetic stock with a pistol grip, or a folding metal stock (which may also be
removed entirely). (The three
polymer stocks are identical for game purposes, though the Speedfeed IV stock
has a buttplate which swings upward, revealing a compartment holding 4 more
shells). In all cases, the
mechanism is the same, but different barrel lengths are available, and the
tubular magazines are also interchangeable between the versions (one could, for
example, mount the 7-round magazine on the 10-inch-barrel Entry Model, though it
might look a bit silly…the magazine capacities shown below are the standard
magazines for the type of weapon shown).
Stocks, the pump-slide, and pistol grips (if so equipped) are made from
Kevlar/Fiberglass composites. The
recoil pad of the MCS is thicker than that of the standard Model 870P called the
Remington R3 pad, and the stock is shorter than that of the Model 870P, so that
the shotgun can be easily shouldered even by troops wearing heavy body armor.
The MCS is deliberately built heavy; this is partially to strengthen the
weapon, but mostly to help tame recoil.
The 10-inch-barrel folding-stock version also comes with a removable
mounting device which allows it to be mounted beneath M-16/M-4-type assault
rifles when the stock is removed.
Barrel lengths are 10 inches (known as the Entry Model), 14 inches (the CQB
Model), and 18 inches (the Standard Model).
Standard Models have adjustable rifle-type sights and can be fitted with
screw-in choke tubes (without a choke tube, the choke of the shotgun is Improved
Cylinder); the CQB Model uses hooded bead sights and has the same choke and
capability to take choke tubes as the Standard Model; the Entry Model has no
sights (but has dovetail mounts for them), cannot take choke tubes, and has a
standard choke of Cylindrical.
First known
combat use of the MCS was in Iraq in 2004, but by that time, several thousand of
them had already been bought by the US military.

Remington 870 SPS
Notes: The Model
870 SPS (Special Purpose Shotgun) was introduced in 1984 specifically for the
demands of fowl hunting. The
original model had a 26 or 30-inch barrel with a 2.75-inch chamber and a fixed
Full choke for its barrel. In 1985,
the SPS was changed to a 3-inch chamber, and in 1986, it was again changed to
have interchangeable chokes of Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full.
The SPS was further redesigned at this time to be able to use lead or
steel shot to comply with US law for fowling.
All these versions have a ventilated sighting rib above the barrel, and a
rubber recoil pad on the butt. Also
in 1986, a version of the Model 870 SPS, the SPS Deer Gun, was introduced; this
weapon has a 20-inch smoothbore barrel and an adjustable rear sight.
(The name of this weapon would later be changed to the Model 870
Brushmaster.) A weapon virtually
identical to the Deer Gun was the Deer Gun Cantilever; this is the same weapon
with a mount for a telescopic sight.
In 1992, the SPS
was given an optional camouflage finish known as “Mossy Oak,” which resembles
the leaves of a forest in fall; this was called the SPS Camo, and had a plastic
stock. In 1996, a Model 870 Jubilee
SPS version was brought out for Remington’s 180th anniversary, with a
26-inch barrel having a ventilated sighting rib and engraving on the receiver
inlaid with gold. (This version is
identical to the 26-inch barrel 3-inch chamber Model 870 SPS for game purposes.)
To mark the Silver Jubilee of the National Wild Turkey Foundation in
1998, Remington brought out a new version of the SPS, with a 21-inch barrel with
a ventilated sighting rib and Super Full choke.
This version also has a plastic stock with a Mossy Oak camouflage
pattern, and a leaf rear sight and front sight bead inset with TruGlo glass
fiber beads.
In 1999, the SPS
Super Slug appeared; this is essentially a rifle version of the SPS, designed
solely for firing rifled slugs, and not suited for shot throwing.
The Super Slug has a mount for telescopic sights, a black plastic stock
and fore-end, and a 23-inch barrel.
Metalwork is finished in matte black.
1999 also saw the introduction of the SPS Super Magnum, designed for
firing 2.75-inch, 3-inch, and 3.5-inch shells, and with a 26 or 30-inch barrel
with interchangeable chokes. The
SPS-T Super Magnum is a version of this gun for turkey hunting; it has a 23-inch
barrel with interchangeable chokes of Super Full and Extra Full, and a Mossy Oak
finish for the entire gun. The SPS
Super Magnum Camo is equipped only with a 26-inch barrel, a plastic stock, and a
Mossy Oak finish for the entire gun.
A version of the SPS Super Magnum Camo with a 28-inch barrel was brought
out in 2001. Also in 2001, version
of all these weapons with telescopic sight mounts were introduced.
(They are identical to the regular Super Magnum models for game
purposes.) Also, a version of the
Super Magnum SPS-T, the SPS-T Super Magnum Camo CL/RD, was made; this comes with
a Leupold-Gilmore Red Dot telescopic sight as standard and was made only in
2000. In 2000, the Super
Magnum SPS RS/TG was introduced, with TruGlo sights, a 20-inch barrel with
interchangeable chokes, and a black plastic stock.
A Camo version of this gun was also made.
A Youth version of this gun was also made, in 2001; this version is
basically identical to the SPS RS/TG, but the stock is shorter and the weight is
slightly less. In 2001, an SPS
Super Magnum Camo version appeared, with a 28-inch barrel only and
interchangeable chokes. The SPS
Super Magnum Camo CL was made in the same year, it has a 23-inch barrel, plastic
stock with a Mossy Oak pattern, and a 23-inch barrel with a mount for telescopic
sights.
The latest
version of the Model 870 (as of the time I write this in late September of 2009)
is the Model 870 TAC Desert Recon.
Though the TAC Desert Recon is designed for the needs of the military and
police, it is also sold to civilians, and is a good defensive and hunting
weapon. Of course, the “Desert
Recon” part primarily denotes its sand tan-finished receiver and barrel and the
digital camo finish to its synthetic stock and pump handle, it also denotes the
special finish on the working parts that minimizes the need for added
lubrication, something important in a desert environment.
The TAC Desert Recon comes in 18-inch barrel and 20-inch barrel versions;
both are tipped with a pepperpot-ported Tactical Extended Rem muzzle device that
functions as a muzzle brake (for any sort of ammunition), a standoff device for
blowing hinges and locks, and a device for blowing rebar and breaking glass.
Interchangeable screw-in choke tubes may be used inside of this device.
The version with the 18-inch barrel uses a SpeedFeed I stock that has a
standard pistol grip wrist and holds four extra shells inside of it, using a
spring-loaded tube that allows the shooter to quickly remove the extra rounds
for reloading the shotgun. The
20-inch barrel version uses a SpeedFeed IV stock that has a different shape and
a pistol grip, as well as holding an extra four rounds.
Both have recoil pads. Both
also are drilled and tapped for optics mounts, MIL-STD-1913 rails, or Weaver
Rails, and have front bead sights just before the muzzle device.

Gun, the Deer Gun Cantilever, and the SPS Camo exist in the Twilight 2000

Remington 870 Trap
Notes:
This is a trap shooting version of the 870, with white sights, recoil
pad, a sighting rib, and heavier construction. It is also available in a
left-handed version. The first
version of this shotgun, the TC Trap, came out in 1950, and was built until
1994. The TC Trap had a fixed choke
until 1986, when interchangeable chokes were made for the TC Trap.
However, the TC Trap was so popular that it was re-introduced in 1996,
this time with a Monte Carlo stock with a high cheekpiece.
In 2000, a special version, the Remington 870 Classic Trap, was built;
this version is basically identical to the TC Trap, but has a blued receiver
with engraving, inlaid with gold.
In 2001, the same weapon was placed into standard production, minus the
engraving.
Twilight 2000
Notes: Only the original two versions of the TC Trap exist in the Twilight 2000
timeline.

Robar Elite Remington 870
Notes: This
“Robarized” version of the Remington 870 (Robar normally improves existing
firearms rather than building them from scratch) is sort of a Remington 870
“taken to the max” for a combat shotgun.
Modifications include the installation of a custom choke, improved action
and trigger to increase the smoothness of the workings of the shotgun, a
side-saddle shell holder that carries 6 shells, a Choate shell follower,
non-slip textures on the grip and fore-end (with deep dimples on the slide to
further increase a positive grip on the slide), a Polymax synthetic stock, ghost
ring sight, a Pachmayr recoil pad, and a Roguard NP3 metal finish stop
corrosion.

Remington
887
Notes: The Model
887 may be regarded as a modernized Model 870, with a synthetic stock and pump
slide, and using some light alloy.
It is also stressed for more powerful loads, and can fire most types of 12-Gauge
ammunition. The result is a lighter shotgun than the Model 870, but one that is
much handier and easy to use. The
finish for the metal parts is Remington’s proprietary ArmorLokt finish, which is
a polymer coating which not only makes it practically weatherproof, but provides
lubricant properties and dissipates heat more quickly.
The receiver and frame of the shotgun is of skeletonized steel, covered
in the appropriate places with steel sheet, though of a lighter yet stronger
steel than on the Model 870. The ArmorLokt coating is bonded with the metal at
the molecular level. Along the top
of the barrel is a ventilated sighting rib, and the top of the receiver has a
short length of MIL-STD-1913 rail. At the front of the rib is a length of Hi-Viz
fiberoptic sight. The 18.5-inch
barrel is tipped standard with a Tactical Choke Tube, which also acts as a
breaching attachment and a muzzle brake.
The trigger guard is also polymer, and contains the crossbolt safety.
The trigger is also polymer.
The stock is textured along the pistol grip wrist running to the trigger guard,
and the pump slide is also textured. Both are polymer.
The butt has a recoil pad.
The Model 887 also has a bolt release, which is located in front of the trigger
guard.
