What’s Included
- Remington Sportsman 58 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The Sportsman 58 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun from Remington’s 1956–1963 era, made in the United States and confirmed by the REP oval proof. This example features factory roll-engraved scenes on both sides of the receiver: a hunting scene on the right and a waterfowl scene on the left.
Barreled with a 30-inch plain tube and a fixed Full choke, this shotgun is set up for 2 3/4-inch shells. The sighting system is simple and proven, using a single bead at the muzzle.
Its gas system includes a knurled magazine cap with the adjustable Dial-A-Matic regulator, allowing on-the-gun gas setting changes to suit the load range. Capacity is 3 rounds (2+1), consistent with the Sportsman configuration.
The furniture is a checkered, walnut-finished pistol-grip stock with a matching long forend. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a classic fit and feel for field use.
Taken together, the engraved receiver, fixed Full choke, and adjustable gas system define this Sportsman 58’s character—an American-made semi-auto with factory embellishment and practical setup from its period of manufacture.
