The Model 11-48 was the first new shotgun produced by Remington after the Second World War. Production ran from 1, during which time there were approximately 455,000 made. The Model 11-48 is a semi-automatic recoiling barrel action shotgun and was produced in 12, 16, 20, 28, and .410 gauges, with only about 18,000 being made to chamber the 28ga shell – the least produced of all 11-48’s. This example, sn4004782, was manufactured in 1952 and it has its factory original finishes. This shotgun has a 25” barrel with a mirror bore, 99% factory original finish, and full choke. Matching serial numbers are found on the barrel lug and receiver. The machined steel receiver has 99% factory original bluing. The furniture shows some field wear, wood to metal fit is excellent. The pistol grip cap is embossed with the image of a duck in-flight. Weighing just one ounce over 6lbs, this is a lightweight and quick handling gun, coming just in time for this year’s upland hunting season and with enough time to get in some practice at the range breaking clays! Thanks for looking!
