John D. Pedersen was one of the world's most prolific and revered gun designers. His name is best known for his invention of the WWI "Pedersen Device" to convert the Springfield M1903 into an autoloading rifle with a capacity of 40 pistol-sized cartridges. Associated with Remington from 1903 to 1941, Pedersen designed their Model 10 pump shotgun, Model 12 pump .22 rimfire, Models 14 and 14-1/2 pump high-power rifles, Model 17 pump shotgun, Model 25 pump rifle and what is considered one of the finest autoloading pistols ever invented—the slim, trim, Model 51 pocket pistol.
