You are bidding on a Remington Model 1100 12 Gauge Semi Auto Shotgun. This shotgun features a 30" fully ribbed barrel, blue'd finish, walnut stock, modified choke, 2 3/4" chamber, and factory engraving. The Remington 1100 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun, popular among sportsmen. The Remington 1100 was the first semiautomatic shotgun to feature significant improvements in felt recoil, weight and reliability. Designed by Wayne Leek, the Remington Model 1100 was introduced in 1963 as a successor to the Model 58 and 878 gas operated shotguns. The Model 58s had supplemented the recoil operated Model 11-48, which retained the long recoil action of John Browning's original design, present in the Remington Model 11 and the Auto-5. Later the 1100 replaced it as well. All models of the 1100 are gas operated with a mechanism that noticeably reduces recoil. Several variations of the Model 1100, in 12, 20, and 28 gauges, and .410 bore are still in production as of 2016. The Remington Model 1100 ushered in the era of successful and reliable gas-actuated auto loading shotguns, and, as of 1983, it was the best selling auto loading shotgun in U.S. history, in dollar terms. Over four million have been produced. This shotgun shows good condition, with some minor wear from use. Serial Number: M280738V. Modern firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required.
