Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington 58ADL “Sportsman 58” represents Remington’s first venture into gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun design, produced from the mid-1950s through the early 1960s. Unlike later Remington gas guns such as the Model 1100, the Sportsman 58 used a unique system in which the recoil spring was housed inside the buttstock, while gas operation was controlled by an adjustable regulator located in the magazine cap. This system required shooters to tune the settings for different load strengths, a concept innovative for its time but somewhat more complex than later fixed-regulator systems. Chambered most commonly in 12, 16, and 20 gauge, the 58ADL variant represented the higher-grade trim level, typically offering improved wood, better checkering, and refined aesthetic details. Its streamlined receiver, vent-rib barrel options, and smooth handling characteristics made it appealing to sportsmen transitioning from pump-action to semi-automatic shotguns during this era.

From an engineering and historical perspective, the Sportsman 58 occupies an important transitional place in Remington’s shotgun lineage. While the adjustable gas system was eventually deemed less efficient than the simplified, self-regulating design introduced in the Model 1100, the Model 58 nonetheless demonstrated Remington’s commitment to soft recoil, reliability, and modern materials. For collectors and enthusiasts, the ADL grade offers an attractive blend of vintage craftsmanship and early gas-gun innovation, often distinguished by its walnut furniture and period checkering patterns. Although later overshadowed by the immense commercial success of the Model 1100, the Sportsman 58 remains notable for its role in shaping Remington’s semi-automatic shotgun technology and providing a foundation for the company’s future dominance in the field.
