Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 20 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 26" Plain Barrel, Fixed Improved Cylinder Choke
This early-production Remington Model 1100 Field Grade combines the platform’s famous gas-operated action with classic 1960s styling. Factory scroll engraving, a jeweled bolt carrier, and the “X” serial suffix that marks a standard-frame 20 gauge make this example especially attractive to shooters and collectors looking for a clean, authentic piece.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 20 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The 26-inch plain barrel carries a fixed Improved Cylinder choke, ideal for upland game and other close-range field work. A 2 ¾-inch chamber handles standard 20 gauge loads without modification.
Remington’s gas system noticeably softens recoil, allowing quicker follow-up shots and comfortable all-day shooting. The tubular magazine holds two shells, giving a 2+1 total capacity.
Factory roll-engraved scrollwork on the blued steel receiver adds understated visual appeal, while the jeweled bolt carrier signals early production attention to detail. The REP oval proof mark confirms original Remington manufacture.
The gloss-finished walnut stock and fore-end feature crisp checkering and a pistol grip. Length of pull measures a factory-standard 14 inches, capped by an original Remington butt-plate instead of the later recoil pad.
