Few shotguns carry the same mix of historical significance and practical utility as classic gas-operated semi-automatics. For shooters who value a vintage workhorse with clear service history, this example offers a direct line to the late 1960s era of American shotgun design.

REMINGTON 1100 — a 20ga semiautomatic shotgun built for 2 3/4″ or shorter shells — is presented here with honest, service-worn character. Made in 1968 in the U.S.A., this firearm shows visible signs of use: scratches and marks along the length of the stock and forestock, a chip out of the right side of the stock, light rust on the receiver, and patina with pits from rust on the barrel.

Design and Heritage

The REMINGTON 1100 established a reputation for smooth, low-recoil operation thanks to its gas system. Built in 1968, examples from this period are sought after by collectors and practical shooters alike because they combine vintage metallurgy and classic ergonomics. The 20ga chambering is lighter on recoil while still offering effective payloads for upland hunting and close-range defensive use.

20 Gauge Advantages

20 gauge delivers reduced felt recoil, faster follow-up shots, and adequate pattern density for most small-game and many tactical loads. Note the limitation: this particular gun is configured for 2 3/4″ or shorter shells only; higher-pressure or longer shells are not recommended.

Condition and Collector Notes

Be upfront about wear. The listed cosmetic issues — stock and forestock scratches, a chip on the right side of the stock, receiver surface rust, and barrel patina and pitting — will affect collector grade and resale value, but not necessarily function if the action and bore remain serviceable. Have a qualified gunsmith inspect the gas ports, bolt, and barrel integrity before regular use.

Practical Use and Ownership

For a shooter seeking a vintage Remington with authentic wear, this 1100 is ready for light-duty field work or restoration. Expect to address surface rust and barrel pitting if you plan to preserve or display the piece; mechanical refurbishment can restore reliable cycling while retaining original character.

Priced at $989.99, this REMINGTON 1100 represents a balance between collector interest and functional potential. Check current availability on our shop page to purchase through the retailer or to request more photos and inspection details.
