Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Sportsman 48 was introduced as a budget-friendly counterpart to the more refined Remington Model 11-48, yet it retained the same fundamental long-recoil operating system. Both firearms evolved from the earlier Remington Model 11, which was based on the Browning Auto-5 and featured the distinctive "humpback" receiver design—a feature that, while functional, was polarizing in terms of aesthetics. In response to consumer preferences for a sleeker appearance, Remington engineers developed the Model 11-48, which introduced a streamlined, modernized receiver that improved both the gun’s handling and visual appeal. The Sportsman 48 mirrored this design but was offered with cost-saving measures such as fewer shell capacity options and simpler finishes, making it more accessible to the average sportsman. Both the 11-48 and Sportsman 48 were significant as the last of Remington’s long-recoil shotguns before the company transitioned to gas-operated systems with the introduction of the Model 58 in 1956, signaling a new era in shotgun design and operation.
