Remington Model 17, rated for steel shot?

[fisheral87]

A buddy and I surmised that this gun would not be rated for steel shot. Anyone know for sure?

My model does not have a screw in choke and the choke is stated as "Full" on the gun.

Thanks,

I've got a Rem 870 Wingmaster 1963 and I shot 34 years of steel shot through the full choke with no issues.  Not sure how old your Mod 17 is?

I'm not sure either I have the SN but don't know if it references to a year of manufacture?

[fisheral87]

Remington society says the date of manufacture is May, 1924.

Figured it out, sounds like we were right, no go on the steel shot.

1924, I wouldn't either.
