What’s Included
- Remington Model 11 16 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Produced in the United States, this Model 11 carries the barrel date code "LTT," indicating February 1948, and aligns with late-production features for the period. The bolt is marked "MODEL 11," and the barrel legend lists Browning patent numbers, underscoring its long-recoil operating lineage. Ejection is to the right side.
The receiver wears factory game-scene roll engraving: a pheasant on the ejection-port side and a duck-in-marsh vignette opposite with "Remington REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." The metal surfaces are blued over carbon steel for both barrel and receiver.
The 28-inch carbon-steel barrel is a plain profile with a single front bead. It is marked for "2 3/4 or shorter shells," and the shotgun is configured for a 2+1 capacity. Sight picture is straightforward and quick with the single bead.
Operating on a long-recoil system, this Model 11 retains the adjustable friction ring setup typical of the design. It is chambered in 16 gauge with a 2 3/4-inch chamber, combining classic operation with a sought-after gauge.
Furniture consists of a walnut stock and matching walnut fore-end. The stock features a pistol grip with checkering and an installed ventilated recoil pad. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, providing a practical, field-ready fit.
