Introducing a remarkable piece of American firearms history – the Remington Model 11 Semi Auto Shotgun in 20 Gauge. Manufactured in 1946, this post-WWII model is an exquisite example of craftsmanship and innovation, designed by the legendary John Browning. As the first autoloading shotgun produced in the United States, the Model 11 holds a special place in the hearts of collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. Its sleek blued finish, checkered walnut stock, and intricate game scene engravings make it a truly unique and desirable firearm.
In very good condition, this Model 11 shows only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. There are some minor blemishes and scratches present, but nothing that detracts from its overall appeal. The bore is in excellent condition, boasting a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear. Included in the sale is the shotgun itself, featuring a fixed full choke, a 28” barrel, and a metallic front bead sight.
One of the standout features of this Model 11 is its recoil-operated action, providing a smooth and reliable shooting experience. With a capacity of 4+1, it is well-suited for both upland game hunting and clay shooting.

The checkered walnut stock and forend not only offer a comfortable grip but also add a touch of classic elegance to the firearm.
What truly sets this shotgun apart are the beautifully engraved game scenes on each side of the receiver – a duck on the left and a pheasant on the right. These intricate engravings enhance its aesthetic appeal and make it a cherished collectible. The Model 11’s historical significance, combined with its performance and visual charm, make it a must-have for any serious collector or hunting enthusiast.
