Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, 30" Vent Rib, 1973
Produced in 1973, this Remington Model 1100 Field Grade pairs the company’s proven gas-operated action with classic walnut and a high-gloss blued finish. A 30-inch vent-rib barrel capped with a fixed Full choke gives this 12-gauge the long sighting plane and tight patterns prized by wingshooters. Factory scroll engraving on the steel receiver adds a touch of understated style that sets it apart from standard field guns.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Built on Remington’s time-tested gas system, the Model 1100 cycles 2 ¾-inch shells smoothly while reducing felt recoil. A four-round tubular magazine (3+1 capacity) keeps the profile sleek and balanced in the field.
The 30-inch barrel features a vent rib for quick target alignment and a single steel bead front sight. Its fixed Full choke delivers dense patterns for longer-range upland and waterfowl work.
Walnut furniture with cut checkering provides a comfortable pistol-grip hold and a 14-inch length of pull. The high-gloss blued finish on both barrel and receiver complements the factory scroll engraving and REP proof marks.
Made in the United States during the early 1970s, this Field Grade 1100 represents an era when Remington blended reliable engineering with refined cosmetic touches, making it both a practical shooter and a solid addition to a vintage shotgun collection.
