Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Remington Sportsman 16ga.

I have no idea as to the value of this shotgun. I believe it was made in the teens or early 20's. Serial# 211691. 28" Imp. Cyl. bbl. I've never shot it and it appears someone refinished the stock sometime before I got it (1970's). Marked "The Sportsman" with light engraving on the receiver. Has a very small crack on the bottom of the forearm at the receiver. Any info would be appreciated.

It's appears to be Remington model 11....cool shotgun
Google says they were made 1911-1948

I own a number of them.

It's a Remington 11 "Sportsman" shotgun. They're based on the Browning A5 design. Savage made one that was called the 720. This has the more desirable safety that's on the outside of the trigger guard. The crack in the bottom of the forearm is a common ailment of them, because that piece of wood was very thin, and prone to cracking, especially if you didn't tighten the nut.

Be careful taking them apart - They're a real pain to put back together if you don't know what you're doing!

EDIT: It was made in 1918

Those are cool shotguns. As stated they are a Remington shotgun on the browning patent. I own 4 of them. A 20 gauge I bought to match my dad’s and then another 20, 16 and 12 gauge that my grandfather bought for him and my uncle and my dad. I have them all now. 400-450 seems to be the going rate best I remember. Google how to set up the friction rings for low versus high brass shells.

Thanks for the info. Anybody have anything else to add?

I have a couple, good, dependable guns. Both mine are 12G, good duck guns.

The butt on that looks replaced to my eye, the grain of the wood just seems off and the heel looks different from the shape of both of mine.

Still a darn nice gun in a good gauge that will be almost impossible to wear out by shooting.

Is it for sale?

I've attached a couple of pics of the butt stock. I guess it could have been replaced in the first 30 yrs. of it's life, but I know it hasn't in the last fifty yrs. since I've owned it.

I'll probably sell it if I can decide what I want for it.

I'm interested, depending on what you want for it.

I’d trade a browning auto 5 barrel for it if you’re wanting to trade and need a barrel

I have a Model 11 in 16 gauge, and I absolutely love it.

I'll just add that the Sportsman variant held two shells in the magazine, making a magazine plug unnecessary.

This???

Seems to be a little interest in it so let's ask $475. shipped from an individual to your FFL. It is apparently 105 years old (that's 31 years older than me and probably in better shape)!

I would need to dig in my junk but I believe I have an extra barrel for one of these but don't remember what choke it is.

As stated earlier..
