Introducing the Remington Model 11 Semi Auto Shotgun, a classic firearm steeped in history and tailored for the discerning collector and the sporting enthusiast. Manufactured around 1913, this Model 11 is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Remington, a renowned American gunmaker. Although the weapon shows notable signs of use and handling, it carries a distinct character that narrates an intriguing story of its journey.
The shotgun's overall condition is fair, exhibiting an authentic vintage aesthetic. The wood stock bears visible handling marks, multiple cracks, and a miss-matched forend with a high-gloss finish. It's a testament to its service, adding character to the firearm. The receiver and barrel carry significant handling marks, dings, dents, scratches, and bluing loss, along with rust damage which is a common trait in vintage firearms. The friction ring is missing, and the recoil pad is loose with damaged screw holes.
However, the bore is in good condition, clean and well-maintained, showing only minor wear marks.
Featured in this sale is the Remington Model 11 itself, showcasing a long recoil action, a capacity of 4+1, and a 28-inch plain barrel. The blued finish adds a touch of sophistication, while the wood stock is elegantly checkered and equipped with a sling stud and recoil pad. This 12 gauge shotgun also includes a silver front bead sight/optic, 2 3/4-inch chamber, and a cylinder bore (CYL) choke. The length of pull is 14 inches, making it comfortable for most shooters.
The Remington Model 11 is a piece of American history, making it a valuable addition to any firearm collection. Not only is it a fascinating collector's piece, but it also remains a reliable option for shooting and hunting sports. Owning this shotgun is an opportunity to connect with the past while enjoying its practical use in the present.
