The Remington Model 10 is a pump-action shotgun designed in 1908 by John Pedersen for Remington Arms.[1] It has an internal striker within the bolt and a tube magazine which loaded and ejected from a port in the bottom of the receiver.[2] An updated version, the Model 29, was introduced in 1930 with improvements made by C.C. Loomis.[3]
Military use
The United States military used a short-barreled version known variously as the "trench" or "riot" shotgun.[4] The Winchester Model 1897 was the major production, but Remington made 3,500 of the Model 10-A version for issue to U.S. troops during World War I.[4] The Model 10 was modified by reducing the barrel length to 23 inches (58 cm) and adding sling swivels, a wooden heat shield over the barrel, and an adapter with bayonet lug for affixing a M1917 bayonet.[4] These trench guns with serial numbers between 128000 and 166000 were stamped with US and the flaming bomb insignia on the left side of the receiver.[2] Remington also developed a "trench gun" variant for the Russian army, which existed in both long-barreled and short-barreled versions, and featured a rifle-style wooden barrel shroud and a mount for a Mosin-Nagant bayonet. But, after fall of the Imperial government, the new government was not interested in such a highly-specialized weapon and the Model 10 was not adopted by the armed forces.[5] The United States military also purchased a number of Remington Model 10 with 20-inch (51-cm) barrels for guarding prisoners and 26 to 30-inch (66 to 76-cm) barrels for training aerial gunners.[4] The Model 10-A was used in limited numbers by the Marine Corps through the 1930s.[4]
