Remington Model 1100 LW Field 20 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, 28” Vent-Rib Barrel, 1974 Production
The Model 1100 LW Field is the lightweight variant of Remington’s iconic gas-operated semi-auto. Built in 1974 on the smaller 28/.410-size receiver, this 20-gauge example sheds extra ounces by pairing a scaled-down action with mahogany furniture. A factory 28-inch ventilated-rib barrel with a fixed Modified choke rounds out a package designed for fast handling in the field.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 LW Field 20 Gauge shotgun
This LW Field is built on Remington’s lightweight receiver shared with the 28 gauge and .410 bore, giving it a trimmer profile and quicker swing than standard 20s of the era.
The 28-inch barrel sports a ventilated rib and fixed Modified choke—an upland setup favored for its balanced pattern density and sighting plane. The 2 ¾-inch chamber keeps the gun true to traditional 20-gauge loadings.
A gas-operated action softens recoil and feeds from a four-round magazine tube for quick follow-up shots. The single bead front sight offers a clean, unobstructed sight picture.
Furniture is genuine mahogany finished in a warm gloss, with a pistol-grip stock that measures a 14-inch length of pull. The combination of lighter wood and slim receiver helps keep overall weight down without sacrificing durability.
Barrel and receiver wear Remington proof and date codes; the M0 serial prefix confirms 1974 production, placing this shotgun firmly within the 1970–1976 LW manufacturing run before the later LT-20 redesign.
