What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge shotgun
The serial prefix "N" confirms 1978 manufacture, placing this shotgun in the late pressed-checkering period that collectors recognize by its fleur-de-lis pattern and white-line spacer.
Remington’s gas-operated action cycles 2 3/4" shells smoothly while reducing felt recoil—a key advantage that helped the Model 1100 surpass one million units by 1972.
The 30" steel barrel carries a fixed Full choke, a favored combination for long-range waterfowl or trap use. A simple steel bead front sight keeps the sight picture uncluttered.
High-polish blued steel on both barrel and receiver pairs with gloss walnut furniture, preserving the classic Remington Field Grade aesthetic. The fluted comb stock, pressed checkering, and hard buttplate offer a secure, traditional feel.
With a 4+1 capacity, 14" length of pull, and reliable gas system, this full-size Model 1100 remains a practical field gun while holding solid appeal for Remington enthusiasts.
