What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 LW-20 Field Grade 20 Gauge shotgun
Introduced in 1967, the LW-20 variant of the Model 1100 used a true 20-gauge frame, trimming weight while retaining the reliable gas-operated action. This example’s “L” serial prefix places its manufacture in 1973—three years before Remington transitioned to the slightly heavier LT-20 pattern.
The 28-inch barrel wears a ventilated rib topped by a silver front bead, offering a clear sight picture in the field. A factory-cut modified choke provides a versatile pattern suitable for upland game and clay targets.
Walnut furniture finished in satin showcases fleur-de-lis checkering on the pistol grip and fore-end for secure handling. The 14-inch length of pull and full-size stock make the gun comfortable for most adult shooters.
A blued steel receiver bears Remington’s factory scroll engraving, adding a touch of elegance without affecting durability. The gun’s 2 ¾-inch chamber aligns with the ammunition standard of its era and continues to be widely available today.
