Remington Model 11-48 Field Grade .410 Bore Semi-Auto, 25 in Plain Barrel, 3 in Chamber, Blued/Walnut
This Remington Model 11-48 Field Grade in .410 Bore pairs the classic long-recoil action with a 25 inch plain barrel and a fixed Improved Cylinder choke. Built in the United States and marked on the barrel with the oval "REP" proof, it features a 3 inch chamber and 3+1 capacity. Blued steel and walnut furniture, along with period-correct details and a barrel legend that includes Patent No. 2,278,589, make this a straightforward, feature-rich small-bore example from the late 1940s to 1960s era.
Condition

Bore Overall Condition: Good - Clean, well-maintained, minor wear marks.
Specific Condition Notes: A new carrier was installed; its tight fit can occasionally cause rare binding, requiring the bolt to be pushed forward from the rear to close. The toe of the stock was previously cracked and re-glued with a poor fit. The metal shows widespread finish wear and blemishing, with pitting present on the barrel and receiver.
