Remington Model 10 – Pump-Action Shotgun

The Remington Model 10 shotgun represents a time when shotgun advancement for repeating firearms was happening at lighting speed. First developed in 1908, it was used by the United States in World War 1 as a “trench gun” with shortened barrels. It became the first pump shotgun to use a bottom-ejecting style action. A model 17 in 20-gauge was introduced soon after. The shotgun’s legacy would go on until the Remington Model 29 was introduced in 1930. The only pump-action model shotgun Remington still offers today is the Remington 870 Pump-Action Shotgun.

Today, used Remington Model 10 shotguns can range from roughly $300 dollars to just over $1000 depending on the quality and condition.
