I have a single shot .410 shotgun but there is NO make on it. It has a serial # and a model # which is 151. The only other thing is it has "APEA" stamped on the inside of the action (have to take the barrel off to see it). It does say that it is made in brazil. My question is "APEA" a make? I have googled it but came up with nothing.

It is a single shot made by CBC in Brazil, for many years Remington sold them.
So what is the letters that are stamped in it for? (APEA)
Thanks Turkeyslayer 1300 for pointing me in the right direction.
This looks just like the one I have.
KMart Model 151 .410 single, full-choke 3",

CBC in Brazil made this under their own name and others. I believe Sellier & Bellot is a CBC brand! It was the CIL model 402 and it is also the Remington model 812. It was probably also sold/marketed under other names as well! Was sold in 410, 28, 20, 16 & 12 GA. Nice little shotguns! I have the 410, 20 & 12 GA and they'll definitely shoot where you point them. They're nice because there's a hidden spring loaded release to remove the forearm and barrel so it breaks down into 3 pieces for storage etc. The weak point is the bit at the end of the forearm that mates up to the curve of the receiver is plastic and can sometimes break. An easy fix with super glue and a little grinding to give better clearance on that radius. If I'm not mistaken they are late 60's 1970's vintage. They also have a plastic trigger guard and break release but so far I haven't experienced any issues with those. Sorry, APEA doesn't mean anything to me but I'll have a closer look at mine tonight to see what barrel markings there are. Not a real high end gun but lot's of bang for the buck! 
Apparently.......... "The Remington Society Journal had two articles on the 812, 1995 3rd Qtr. and 2002 4th Qtr."

They were made in 10 gauge as well. Not many around but they do exist.
