This early-production Remington 11-48 presents with better-than-average wood and bluing for its age — a genuinely nice example of a postwar Remington autoloader. The barrel carries its original "DWW" date-code stamp, confirming a September 1950 manufacture date.

About the Remington 11-48: Introduced in 1949 as Remington's first new shotgun design after World War II, the 11-48 refined the long-recoil action of the earlier Model 11 with a modern machined steel receiver. It quickly became one of the most trusted American-made autoloaders of its era, prized today for its smooth cycling, solid construction, and classic postwar styling.
