The 21-inch barrel is ventilated with a single front bead and uses a flush-fit threaded choke system. A Full choke is installed in the barrel. The barrel carries a star symbol on the stamp, and the magazine cap is knurled for easy removal.
The walnut stock and beavertail fore-end feature cut checkering and a black buttpad. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches. The shotgun retains classic Model 1100 ergonomics with a pistol-grip stock and bead sighting setup.
The gas-operated action cycles 2 3/4-inch shells and feeds from a 4+1 capacity. It uses a right-side ejection port, a cross-bolt safety, and a removable charging handle. The configuration and markings place production in the 1985–1989 timeframe.
The receiver is clearly rollmarked "Remington Model 1100 SPECIAL," and the serial suffix "V" indicates the standard 12-gauge 2 3/4-inch receiver pattern. This Special-series configuration pairs the shorter 21-inch vent-rib barrel with flush-fit choke versatility.
