About the Remington Model 17

The Remington Model 17 is a pump-action, hammerless, bottom-ejecting takedown shotgun chambered exclusively in 20 gauge. Based on a John Browning patent and refined by Remington engineer John D. Pedersen, it fed from a tubular magazine and ejected spent shells downward, keeping the sight picture clear and suiting both right- and left-handed shooters. Produced from 1921 to 1933, its trim, slab-sided receiver became the design ancestor of the Remington Model 31, the Ithaca 37, and the Browning BPS.

Its bottom-ejecting, underloading action was so well regarded that Ithaca licensed the design to create the Model 37, one of the longest-running pump shotguns in history.
