What’s Included
- Remington Model 11 “The Sportsman” 20 Gauge shotgun with 27” barrel
- Poly-Choke Co. “SINGLE TURN” adjustable choke (installed)
Designed under license from Browning, the Model 11 is America’s first mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun. Its long-recoil system cycles smoothly and has earned a reputation for reliability in the field for nearly a century.
This “Sportsman” configuration leaves the magazine tube factory-crimped to a three-shot capacity, aligning with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act while keeping the shotgun lighter and quicker to handle. Matching serial numbers on the receiver and bolt confirm factory originality.
Factory game-scene engraving—flying duck on the left, walking pheasant on the right—adds visual appeal that sets this example apart from plain-finish counterparts. The crisp lines remain clear against the blued carbon-steel receiver.
The Poly-Choke Co. “SINGLE TURN” adjustable choke broadens the gun’s versatility. A quick twist selects the constriction, letting you tailor patterns for upland birds, waterfowl, or small game without changing barrels.
Oil-finished walnut furniture features cut checkering at the pistol grip and fore-end, a 14.1" length of pull, and a hard-rubber buttplate for a classic look and comfortable shoulder fit.
