Mike,,,,,,,,,,Without seeing the gun or knowing what guage it is, I can only tell you not to spend to much on it. If the gun is in mint condition maximum worth I would say about 350. Average condition 175 to 200 bucks. Most of them go for 225 and that is one in good condition that shoots very good. I would be more apt to buy it if it is a 28,16, or 410. I'm sure there are some Remington boys on here that will disagree with me. It was a popular gun, there are a ton of them out there and they are not the most reliable of Remingtons auto's. An 1100 on steroids prior to the steroid era. If it's a nice one tho and shoots good it is a sweet little addition to your gun cabinet if you can get it cheap. Just my opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Might be worth a couple gallons of gas, I have a buddy that has a 20 that his dad won on a punch board in the early 70's at the VFW. It's a shooter and he wouldn't part with it for a million bucks. If he decides to though, He will only get 200, maybe 225 for it. Maybe 250 in trade. It may be worth more in another part of the country, but I can buy them all day around here for that. Good luck, If you get it post a pic. Us older guys on here love them shooters that we shot back in the day
Ah yes, "back in the day" boy do those words ring true!
An old Baymen that my dad hunted ducks with on Long Island, NY used an 11-48 semi auto in 28 gauge. He used a 3/4 ounce load of 7 1/2's or 6's on Bluebills and Canvasbacks.
He used that gun for rabbits as well. It was a good little shooter, I can still remember the barrel moving back & forth with every shot.
How are the two boys?

Hi Bob,,,,,,,, Dylan is hunting his self to death,,,,,,,He gets about 3 hours of sleep on the weekends. All the seasons have not kicked in yet,,,,, He has the cutest little 16 year old girl friend you have ever seen,,,, She stays pissed at him cause he is either in the dove field or chasing coon hounds with his buddies Dustin Spent the entire weekend at Ft. Leanordwood. He is learning to be an Officer. He was on an advanced land navigation course, night and day course. I told him that land nav is the most important thing for him to learn. When I was in I bailed a lot of dumb assed LT.'s out of spots and kept my butt from getting lost. I told him that in the near future he will be in Afghanistan and it will be his responsibility to get his men back to a hot meal and a shower. He called last night at 1130 pm and said he and his men made it back first on the day and night course He is smart and will make a good leader!!!! They were doing it the old fashion way with a compass a map and shooting an azmuth. He is on the firing range today with the M-4......
Mike I have one Very much the same gun.. yet mine is the Remington Model 48 Sportsmen..... 12 gauge 2 3/4" or shorter,The barrel Slams back into the chamber after each shot to Eject each spent shell.
I Bought mine three years ago threw a Gun dealership..And it shows it's age,yet all works as it should..and a semi auto Remington for $165.00 I would like to find a 11-48 and a 11-87 Now ....So I have good guns to loan out when I have the crew around goose hunting,crow hunting and pigeon hunting....
The wife has the 1100 20 gauge LT For deer and small game with both barrels....She has yet to take it out ,So I make sure it all Works still... and it loves 2 3/4" low brass on crows and pigeons...
I don't think They worried to much about muzzle jump back in them days. Recoil wansn't much of a concern either, most shotguns had a plastic butt stock. Remember how they used to crack right by the screws if you dropped them when it was cold....... They were shooters tho............
