Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 28" Vent-Rib Barrel, 2 3/4" Chamber
Built in the early 1970s, this Remington Model 1100 Field Grade pairs the company’s self-compensating gas system with a 28-inch vent-rib barrel and fixed Improved Cylinder choke. The M-prefix serial, silver-colored bolt, and pressed fleur-de-lis checkering mark it as an early production example. A polished blued finish over carbon-steel metalwork and glossy walnut furniture complete the classic look that made the 1100 a favorite among upland hunters and clay shooters alike.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge shotgun
The heart of this shotgun is Remington’s gas-operated action, engineered to vent excess pressure and noticeably soften recoil while cycling standard 2 3/4-inch loads.
The 28-inch carbon-steel barrel wears a ventilated rib for quick sight alignment and ends in a fixed Improved Cylinder choke—ideal for close to mid-range birds and clays.
Walnut furniture features the early pressed fleur-de-lis pattern on the pistol grip and fore-end. A 14-inch length of pull and cross-bolt safety provide familiar, user-friendly ergonomics.
The polished blued receiver and barrel contrast with the factory silver-colored bolt, a hallmark of first-generation Model 1100s. Capacity is set at 2+1 with the factory plug installed, meeting traditional field regulations.
