Remington Model 11-48 Field Grade .410 Bore Semi-Auto Shotgun – 25" Fixed Full Choke, 1964 Production
Built in 1964 near the close of Model 11-48 production, this .410 Bore Field Grade showcases Remington’s long-recoil design in one of its lightest factory autoloaders. Weighing roughly six pounds and fitted with a 25-inch plain barrel, it offers quick handling for small-game hunters and collectors seeking a later-series 11-48 with original features intact.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good – showing some signs of prior use and handling.
Bore Condition: Good – clean, well-maintained, minor wear marks.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 11-48 Field Grade .410 Bore semi-automatic shotgun
- Original Remington hard-rubber butt-plate (installed)
The 25-inch carbon-steel barrel is factory-cut with a fixed Full choke, giving tight patterns for upland or varmint work while keeping the profile sleek with its plain, bead-sighted rib.
Remington’s stamped and rounded receiver—distinctive to the 11-48 series—retains its polished-blue finish and houses the long-recoil operating system derived from Browning’s Auto-5. The design delivers reliable cycling of 3-inch .410 shells while maintaining a modest four-round magazine capacity.
Walnut furniture features hand-cut checkering on the pistol-grip stock and matching forend, providing a secure grip without altering the shotgun’s classic lines. Length of pull measures 14 inches, finished with the correct hard-rubber butt-plate.
With production of the Model 11-48 ending in the mid-1960s, late-run .410 examples like this one stand out for collectors who appreciate Remington’s transition period before the gas-operated 1100 fully took center stage.
