Remington Model 11-48 – 28 Gauge – Full Choke – Original Wood & Finish – Vintage Semiautomatic Shotgun

Offered here is a classic Remington Model 11-48 semiautomatic shotgun chambered in the desirable 28 gauge, featuring a fixed full-choke barrel, original checkered walnut furniture, and traditional blued steel construction.

Introduced in 1948, the Remington 11-48 represented an important chapter in the company’s shotgun history. Its distinctive long-recoil-operated action continued a design tradition established by earlier Remington sporting shotguns.

The 28-gauge variation is particularly interesting to collectors of vintage Remington firearms, as it is less commonly encountered than the standard 12- and 20-gauge versions.

This example remains in good used condition and retains its original configuration, with attractive walnut furniture, strong bluing, and honest handling wear consistent with its age.
