Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 26" Vent Rib Barrel, 2 3/4" Chamber
Remington’s Model 1100 brought gas operation to the mainstream in 1963, and this Field Grade example carries the features that made the design a favorite on American trap fields. The fixed Improved Cylinder choke, 26-inch vent-rib barrel, and fleur-de-lis pressed checkering give it the classic sporting profile, while the “V” serial suffix confirms standard-frame 12-gauge compatibility with most 1100 parts.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun with 26" vent-rib barrel
The gas-operated action softens recoil and reliably cycles 2 ¾-inch 12-gauge loads, a design that helped the Model 1100 dominate competitive trap and skeet in the 1970s.
Field Grade trim adds rolled scroll engraving on the gloss-blued receiver and fleur-de-lis pressed checkering on the gloss walnut stock, offering understated style without sacrificing utility.
The 26-inch carbon-steel barrel carries a vent rib for quick sight alignment and a fixed Improved Cylinder choke, making this gun well-suited for upland birds and clay targets alike.
A 13.9-inch length of pull and ventilated recoil pad provide a comfortable fit for most shooters, and the 4+1 capacity keeps weight down for easy carry in the field.
