What’s Included
- Remington Model 11 A Grade (Standard) 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The Model 11 follows the Browning Auto-5 pattern with a long-recoil-operated action and the recognizable humpback receiver. This configuration delivers right-side ejection and the handling characteristics that made the design a staple in early American autoloading shotguns.
It is an early Remington-UMC era example, identified by the RA-UMC barrel address and the Remington UMC buttplate. These details place it in the pre-1921 production window and add clear period context to the shotgun.
The shotgun is fitted with a 28-inch plain steel barrel and a single front bead sight. The tubular magazine holds four rounds. Controls include the early sliding/lever safety located inside the trigger guard; the safety is located in the trigger well, forward of the trigger.
Construction is all blued steel for the receiver and barrel, paired with plain, uncheckered walnut furniture. The stock is a semi-pistol grip design with a matching round fore-end, and the length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
