Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Designed by legendary firearms genius John Moses Browning and manufactured under license by Remington, the Model 11 stands as America's first domestic recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun. Sharing its robust long-recoil mechanical operating system w/ the famous Browning Auto-5, the Model 11 earned universal praise for its soft-recoil dynamics, solid-steel receiver construction, and reliable field function. Revered among wing shooters, the 16 Gauge variant—affectionately dubbed the "Sweet 16" caliber profile—delivers the ideal balance between 12-Gauge shot pattern density and lightweight 20-Gauge field carrying comfort.
This specific example is an authentic 1947-manufactured Remington Model 11 bearing serial number 1572781 and barrel date code "KSS" (May 1947). Chambered in versatile 16 Gauge (accepting 2-3/4" shells), it features a 28-inch plain steel barrel choked Modified, classic roll-engraved game scenes on both receiver flanks (waterfowl on the left, pheasant on the right), serrated receiver sighting top plane, and checkered American walnut pistol-grip furniture. Preserved in fine vintage condition w/ smooth blued steel surfaces displaying honest age patina, clean checkered wood, a mirror-bright bore, and crisp long-recoil cycling, this Model 11 is an outstanding turn-key classic American upland shotgun ready for immediate hunting deployment or placement in any classic sporting arms collection.
