Collecting Military Surplus (Milsurp) rifles is a hobby I enjoy enough to share my experiences with others through these videos. This interest blossomed into an interest in handguns and modern firearms as well. I am by no means an expert but have learned so much through UA-cam that I just want to be a part of this community and spread the enjoyment of this hobby.

Remington Model 17
Next up is the ever elusive Remington Model 17 made from 1921 to 1933. It is a pump action bottom loading/bottom ejecting 20 Gauge shotgun that was later developed into the Ithaca Model 37. This example shown here is an early 1922 production with a 28 inch modified choke barrel and is in excellent condition.
This patented John Browning design was given a design assist by a John Pedersen patent and who better to assist than the man responsible for the recently released Remington Model 10 which also had a bottom loading/ejecting action but of Pedersens own unique design. Browning was well known for praising Pedersen and his accomplishments, which were many, and for his fondness for his designs.
Come take a look as we examine these patents and many others attributed to this interesting hard to find Remington, take a close look at how it works, and shoot a couple of games of trap to see it in action.

Remington Sportsman 58

In 1956 Remington introduced the Model 58 shotgun affectionately known as the Sportsman 58, the first gas operated semi automatic shotgun that they ever made. A predecessor to the mighty 1100, the Sportsman 58, although flawed, set the stage for the success of the 1100 and brought Remington into the "modern" era of shotgun manufacturing. By 1963 the Model 58 was gone as the dominance in the mar...

In 1963 Remington introduced the Model 1100 shotgun, a gas operated semi automatic that took the shotgun world by storm.......so much so that it caused Remington to discontinue the Model 11-48 and Model 58, the two other semi auto shotguns in the lineup.

Remington Model 51 Disassembly and Reassembly
Mine is a WRF. I don’t consider it a galley. gun.
I picked up a 10-8 from AIM - they had 10-10's as well - the -8's sold out first and then the 10's like a day later - they were available for about a week. Yep. $379 (plus the transfer, shipping etc.) Mine is in better shape than yours - externally - bore is excellent and it's tight and mechanically vg as well. So I'm happy I picked it up.
I just fix mine if anyone have the rubber wear problem I can help
What would it cost to make that rifle again
word of advise DONT work on the receiver round over the end of the firing pin where it contacts the receiver like you can replace it but the receiver i doubt it
If you see one of these guns without an owner, watch out. If you pick it up in your hands it will hypnotize you and make you spend your money.
I have the same awesome rear sight on mine.
You could send the cylinder to TK customs and get it cut for moon clips. Then you could use all those moon clips, shooting 45acp and still shoot 45 colt without the moon clips. Really enjoy your detailed videos 👍
Hate to cut them up…..got this instead! Smith & Wesson Model 1917 ua-cam.com/video/F9JoG3oebG4/v-deo.html
Nice! Just watched that one 👍
I have my Dad's 69A. It is a superb rifle from the word go. Extremely accurate with a very clean breaking trigger. No creep at all. The pull is a little bit on the heavy side but still very manageable. Since the receiver was not grooved for a scope, I took it to a gunsmith to get it done. He originally did not want to do it because it would kill the value of the rifle, I told him that this rifle would never leave my family so it's only value to us is sentimental. I put a 2.8-9 Simmons AETEC scope on it and it is one of my favorite rifles. I don't anyone makes a finer .22 bolt action rifle without it costing well over a grand.
I just got a 1954 nickel plated one with steel frame. Beautiful gun and shoots great. The steel frame makes a big difference, for one thing it holds the barrel much tighter. Can’t push it out with just a finger. Have to actually push it loose against a wood workbench. Seems like the steel frame models are harder to find.
they are sweet shooter's have the MK 2 bull barrel. 7 inch government target model. 🎯
Nice.
So sad can't get them in Australia
So 'cmon over here!
Скажите. Сколько такое оружие стоит. Именно как у Вас 1965 года ?
So many factors contribute to cost, impossible to answer.
I wish I had that book back in 1969 the first time I cleaned my 550-1.. It fired a couple thousand rounds perfectly until I oiled it.. then I had to do exploratory surgery..🥃😎👌
Light oil is okay but this is not one to douse due to the nature of its function.....gas through small orifices and such. Keeping it spotlessly clean throughout the entire chamber area is very important with just a light coating of oil on the parts. Hope the surgery went alright!
I’m in my late 50’s now and I never cared for the more modern Mini-14’s but the version I do like is the GB variant and I lucked out and found one 6 years ago at a local pawn shop so I snatched it up! As a retired Infantryman I prefer battle rifles in general so this was something I wanted to own in my collection. Mine is a 185 series so it’s a late 80’s production and it was a former Texas DPS prison rifle and in excellent condition, I doubt it was barely fired.
Sounds like an awesome rifle. Thanks for tuning in.
My first 22 auto was the 550-1 back in 69.. It took me awhile to get used to having to clean it more often than my 572 Remington Pump that would always go bang no matter what..🥃😎👌
Yeah, it’s definitely an example for those who love to do meticulous cleanings after every range visit. I happen to be one of those people.
The A5 was John Browning's favorite design and achievement out of them all..🥃😎👌
I have read in several different books that the M1917 Browning machine gun was his favorite design and the one he was most proud of. The A5 must have been his favorite shotgun design though, for sure.
Thanks for the video.. I have the 67f in 20 ga and in 12 ga, both were made in 67.. They both have a 28" full choke barrel, and have killed many ducks and squirrels in the past 50 years..🥃😎👌
Very cool, I have a follow up video coming up real soon to address some of the elusive patents for this particular shotgun. Stay tuned.
Why would anyone eject the spent shell casings at the crime scene.. That's kinda counterintuitive and defeats the advantages of a revolver..🥃😎👌
Oswald was probably a little frazzled being that he just off'ed the President.
My first handgun was a Charter Arms Undercover 38 spl. in 1975. It was a good gun. My dad had a Bulldog 44 at the time.. The good ole days.🗽😎👌
Very popular choices in the mid 70’s. Thanks for tuning in.
Hk Germany is actually very anti 2A! They hate the thought of civilians having the right to own their products
That is a myth perpetrated by their competitors and haters. I mean really, does that make sense? Sometimes companies make business decisions because it is, after all, a business. Not every business decision is a perfect 2A decision, simple as that. Bill Ruger would buy me a beer right now.
That's a Very cool little rifle ✝️🇺🇸😀
It is at that.
The Walter PP has been my #1 concealed carry since the 1990s. I have 3 other 9mm at the same time, but my Walter is still #1.
They definitely make a very safe carry option.
The dao .45acp was arguably the worst gun ever made, assuming you could pull trigger.
Really? That bad? I think the trigger pull was engineered that way because it is a pocket pistol. AMT was certainly capable of making a softer trigger pull, they have many examples. I believe it was by design, so that being said, what else contributed it to being the "worst gun ever made"?
Also love this video lots of information
Appreciate it. Thanks for tuning in.
I have one of these. What would it be worth?
So many factors determine worth.....find a similar example to yours on gunbroker searching the completed auctions. Probably from 500 to 800 for a pretty and complete example.
Why do you think you shoot 20 ga. worse than 12? Has it been only with certain guns? One of my sons and I have shot skeet & sporting clays with a Beretta AL390 20 ga. and have done as well as we have with 12 ga. semiauto or a (rental) Krieghoff 12 ga O/U. I understand that in this case the gremlins in operating this example would have been very disconcerting...
Don’t have a tremendous amount of time behind 20 gauge guns but the 1/4 oz less shot going slower seems noticeable to me.
I wish someone would disassemble the frame of a Rem Mod. 51 because I don't think anyone has made a UA-cam video showing it. At least I haven't found one. Might be a good idea, yeah? Anyway, thanks for this video. I just bought a Rem model 51 and this video really helps.
Stupid me had a chance to pick up a neat model 17 with a solid rib a bunch of years ago. I passed on it due to the barrel and frame serial numbers not matching. Like I said stupid...
They are still out there. You passed on it for a reason, find one that’s numbers matching and enjoy it.
Didnt the Son of Sam use a hunting knife in one of his first attacks. He didnt like the results so he switched to a handgun.
Yes, the first attack against a person we know about was with a knife.
I own a 585 series wood and stainless. I enjoy it more than any of my ARs. I do like the wood upper hand guard on the earlier models.
Very cool! Those with wood and stainless look nice.
Great video, thank you. Ithaca added a top extractor that the Remington 17 didn’t have because of difficulty extracting the fired hull. A lot of the first 37’s were sent back to Ithaca because of extracting problems so they added the top extractor.
That is interesting, I'll have to look into that some more.
Walter Claude Synder wrote a book on the history of the Ithaca mod 37. I have that book I got mine in 1997 for about $90.00 Amazon has it for $345.00 now 😡 it is the complete history of the 37. Very good! It is in there that he talks about the top extractor being added with complete prints and drawings.
@@KennethPowell-kx3jtDoes it show a patent number for it?
iOS can’t find patent number in the book but it does state that after serial number 2200 they started putting the top extractor in. About 1940.
Awesome video. Thanks.
Appreciate you watching!
That is a hard to find one in Texas anyway.
Very elusive model.
Been watching your channel a while. Just now got around to commenting, You are my favorite channel on you tube. Lots of very cool old guns and I love history and I get a lesson with each video!
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for tuning in.
I enjoy the longer ones and it's good for my short attention span, kinda like a workout but honestly it's pretty easy to stick to it all the way through. Fascinating stuff, educational and fun. Looking forward to the next ones!
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback. Take a look back at my past videos….sounds like you would enjoy a lot of the content in the Milsurp Garage library!
No need at all to feel bad for shooting a couple of 15's at 16yd trap with a 20 ga "field gun". Had you instead been shooting a shotgun with a higher-combed "trap" stock - one purposely designed for fast rising targets - no doubt, your scores would've at least been in the 20's that day. Most "Field stocks" typically shoot flat (50/50 pattern) and can quickly steal your lunch money from you on fast rising targets unless you remember to cover or completely block out your target .... especially on the straight aways. "Trap grade stocks" already have vertical lead designed into them (higher comb) so there's less need to completely "block out your target from view" while shooting at some of those fast-rising targets. Hopefully that makes sense. You probably would've seen some better results from the 20 yrd line and back with that particular gun ... and after the targets had already flattened out in their flight just a little bit. But out on the skeet range ... I think that old gun would show you a more pleasing personality (and with a better digestible shotshell, of course). Perhaps some Win AA's might be worth trying next?
I’ll revisit on a calmer day. I shot much better with it than most 20 gauge trap rounds I’ve shot.
Thanks for the video ive been looking for a decent 17. I have Remington model 10, 29, and 31 31 is my favorite 🙂
I have a nice model 31 video posted up there….. it’s definitely a relative of the model 17.
Really Cool Shotgun 😊😀😊
My model 142k still has both of the original fire and safe buttons 😎
Wow. A rarity. While you still have them, you should glue them in with a touch of Elmers glue or something because they fall out very easily.
