Remington Model 11 Semi Automatic 16 Gauge Shotgun
Included in this lot is a Remington Model 11 semi-automatic 16 gauge shotgun. John Moses Browning designed his definitive Auto-5 shotgun in 1898. The Auto-5 hit the commercial market in 1900 as the world’s first successful autoloading shotgun. Browning attempted to sell his Auto-5 design to Winchester, only to have company officials balk at his terms. He subsequently offered his design to Remington. In a darkly unexpected turn of events, Remington’s president died of a heart attack in the midst of negotiations. Browning eventually revisited his arrangement with Remington, and the company produced his design in the United States from 1905 to 1947. This shotgun shows a lovely gray patina 28" round barrel. The barrel is marked "Remington Arms Co., Inc. Ilion N.Y. Made in U.S.A. Browning’s U.S. Pats 689.283-710.094-730.870-812.326- Also Pat. No. 1.931.262 – 16 GA. For 2 ¾ or shorter shells”. The receiver retains some of its original blue and the stock is in good condition with small scratches and dings from wear and use. The left side of the receiver has been engraved and reads “N 1/ 0146500”. The shotgun has a select choke allowing for six different possible choke optins. Serial Number: 1591926. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
