[ [http://www.remington.com/library/history/firearm_models/shotguns/model_17.asp Firearm Model History - Remington Model 17] ] The manufacturing rights were sold to Remington Arms shortly after, but due to the production efforts of World War I, Remington was unable to begin manufacturing until 1921. Before production began John Pedersen made alterations to the design, with more changes made later by G.H. Garrison. The Model 17 was a trim, 20ga shotgun that was further redesigned and made in three highly successful forms: the Remington model 31, Browning BPS, and the Ithaca 37.
