Remington Model 1100 Skeet 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun – 25" Vent-Rib Barrel, Factory Engraved, 13" LOP
This early-production Remington Model 1100 Skeet showcases the gas-operated design that helped redefine soft-shooting semi-autos in the 1960s. A 25-inch vent-rib barrel with a fixed Skeet (cylinder) choke and 2 3/4-inch chamber make it purpose-built for quick, consistent target breaks. Factory scroll engraving on the gloss-blued receiver, paired with figured walnut furniture, gives the gun classic field appeal, while a shortened 13-inch length of pull and Pachmayr recoil pad add modern shootability for smaller or youth shooters.

What's Included
- Remington Model 1100 Skeet 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Introduced in 1963, the Model 1100’s gas system vents excess pressure forward, reducing felt recoil and allowing rapid follow-up shots. This example falls within the first decade of production, offering collectors a piece of the model’s formative years.
The 25-inch vent-rib barrel provides a lively swing and clear sight picture. Its fixed Skeet choke delivers the broad, even pattern preferred on close-range clays, while the cylinder bore designation ensures minimal constriction for consistent spreads.
Gloss-blued steel contrasts with factory scroll engraving on the receiver, highlighting Remington’s attention to detail during this era. Both receiver and barrel retain strong finish, underscoring the gun’s careful prior use.
The gloss walnut stock and matching forend feature pressed checkering for a secure grip. A professional stock cut brings length of pull to 13 inches, and a Pachmayr recoil pad cushions each shot—ideal for smaller-frame shooters or those seeking faster gun mounting.
Capacity is 1+1 with 2 3/4-inch shells, fitting skeet rules that require no more than two shells loaded at a time. The result is a balanced, soft-recoiling platform ready for the range.
