Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1949 as the successor to John Browning's famous Model 11, the Remington Model 11-48 represented a major evolution in semi-automatic shotgun design. Retaining the ultra-reliable long-recoil operation of its predecessor, the 11-48 introduced streamlined receiver contours, lightweight stamped components, and improved balance that paved the way for modern autoloading shotguns. Produced for less than two decades before being succeeded by gas-operated designs like the Model 1100, original all-steel Model 11-48s remain highly regarded by sportsmen for their hand-fitted construction and smooth cycling reliability.
This specific example is an authentic 1956-manufactured Remington Model 11-48 bearing serial number 5222508 and 'NC' barrel date code. Chambered in versatile 12 Gauge (2-3/4" shells), it features a 28-inch plain steel barrel w/ a fixed Modified choke, rich factory blued steel finishes, and checkered American walnut furniture w/ a factory grip cap. Preserved in fantastic vintage condition w/ smooth high-luster bluing, clean receiver flats, a mirror-bright bore, and slick long-recoil cycling mechanics, this 1956 Model 11-48 is a turn-key classic hunting shotgun ready for upland birds, waterfowl, or placement in any classic Remington shotgun collection.
