What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Magnum 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The Magnum configuration is built for 3 inch shells, as marked on the barrel: "12 GA. MAGNUM FOR 3 IN. SHELLS." Its 30 inch steel barrel has a ventilated rib with a matted top and a single front bead, and the fixed Full choke supports dense, long-range patterns.
The gas-operated action cycles smoothly with right-side ejection and a 2+1 capacity. The receiver is blued steel and rollmarked "Remington Model-1100" and "MAGNUM." This example follows the Magnum-series serial format with the M prefix/suffix.
The walnut stock and fore-end show high-gloss finish and pressed fleur-de-lis checkering for a classic Remington look and secure handling. A Remington ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer and a 14.0 inch length of pull round out the stock setup. A knurled magazine cap completes the forward hardware.
Factory scroll engraving on the receiver and bolt adds a distinct visual element that is original to this gun. Overall, the blued finish, Magnum markings, and factory engraving define its period-correct presentation and configuration.
