USED REMINGTON MODEL 11 16 GAUGE SHOTGUN

Remington Model 11 16-Gauge: An American Browning Classic

The Remington Model 11 holds the prestigious distinction of being the first auto-loading shotgun manufactured in the United States. Based on the legendary John Moses Browning design, it shares the iconic "humpback" receiver and long-recoil operation of the Browning Auto-5. Produced during an era of uncompromising craftsmanship, this 16-gauge specimen occupies the "gentleman’s choice" sweet spot—offering a lighter carrying weight than a 12-gauge with significantly more authority than a 20-gauge.

The primary benefit of owning this used specimen is the opportunity to experience the unique, rhythmic mechanical cycle of a true recoil-operated classic. Its features include a solid steel receiver and a dependable five-shot capacity, making it a robust field companion. In any collection, the Model 11 serves as a vital historical anchor of early 20th-century innovation. Its checkered walnut furniture, distinctive squared-off receiver, and rich blued patina provide a commanding, nostalgic presence. Whether you are a Browning design enthusiast or a collector of vintage American fowling pieces, this 16-gauge is a functional masterpiece that epitomizes the golden age of steel and timber.
