Hi everyone,
Here's my latest question. I picked another model 10 "riot" via the net which turned out to be what I believe to simply be a hunting model cut down. The barrel is marked Model 10-A and is stamped CYL. (cylinder). However, on the bottom of the barrel it is marked "MOD" for modified choke. Upon closer inspection of the CYL. stamp it is clear that it has been stamped over a worn "MOD" stamp. The "CYL." stamp looks identical to the Remington factory stamp that is on my other Model 10 with a cylinder bore so I do not believe it was done by another gunsmith. Can anyone explain this to me? Would there be a reason Remington would have modified a hunting shotgun into a riot configuration or is this the work of another gunsmith? The M-10 in question was produced in 1918 so I am told. There are no military markings on it and there is nothing out of the ordinary about it other than the over stamp I already mentioned. I know this is a "military" shotgun forum so I apologize in advance as this one is not marked. However I thought it was weird enough to throw out here and ask the pros. Any help or info would be appreciated.
