This early pre-Model 11 configuration pairs the left-side magazine cut-off with a front-of-trigger safety lever, capturing the defining features of Remington's first-generation autoloading shotgun. The round, knurled bolt handle and hump-back receiver with right-side ejection complete the recognizable profile.
The 28 in steel barrel is fixed Full choke with no vent rib, marked FULL at the chamber junction, and topped with a single front bead. The barrel also carries the multi-line Remington address and Browning patents rollmark.
It is a takedown model with a knurled magazine cap, designed for straightforward transport and maintenance. The long-recoil action feeds from a 4+1 tubular magazine.
The smooth walnut fore-end and walnut semi-pistol-grip buttstock deliver the period-correct look and feel, with a 14.0 in length of pull. The receiver and barrel are finished in blued steel, consistent with its pre-WWI U.S. manufacture.
