Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 58, also called the Sportsman 58, is a semi-automatic shotgun produced by Remington Arms in the mid-20th century. It was Remington's first gas-operated shotgun and was sold together with the recoil-operated Model 11-48. From 1956 to 1963, the Model 58 was manufactured in 12, 16, and 20 gauge until it was replaced by the Model 1100. The Model 58 was Remington's first-ever gas-operated shotgun. However, compared to the contemporary Model 11-48, it had several design shortcomings despite sharing many design features and parts. The gas system was located at the front of the magazine, thereby restricting the tube magazine's capacity to just two shells. Gas was tapped from a hole in the barrel and entered a large chamber. A piston present in this chamber drove an action bar towards the rear end, which, in turn, operated the bolt to cycle the action. The action spring was located inside the forward end of the magazine tube.
The Model 58 had various versions and grades, which included a magnum version capable of accommodating 3-inch shells and also versions with rifle sights called "Rifled Slug Specials." The Model 878 was introduced in 1959 with an enhanced "self-adjusting" gas system, available only in 12 gauge. The Model 58 and Model 878 are virtually the same, with only differences in the gas piston and appearance. The Model 58 was more expensive to produce than the Model 11-48. Additionally, it was found to be heavier and less reliable. To address these issues, Remington combined the best qualities of the Model 58 and the Model 11-48 into a new model, the Model 1100. The Model 1100 proved highly successful and quickly replaced the Model 58 and the Model 11-48.
