I Have This Old Gun: Remington Autoloading Shotgun
I've owned a Remington 11-48 in 20 Gauge in the past. I regret selling it. I wish I could find one nowdays.
That said........ I currently own my Grandfathers/Dads, Remington Model 11, (in 12 Gauge). I love shooting this thing! As far as I can tell, it was manufactured in 1935, and my Grandfather bought it new. My Dad inherited if when Grandpa passed in 1971. While I was in the Army, and life beyond those years, my Dad 'gave' his guns to my brother. After Dad pased away (2017), as we were leaving a Thanksgiving gathering, my brother called me down into his basement........ As I get to the bottom step, he opens his gun safe, reaches in, grabs the Model 11, and tells me, "Dad told me to give this to you, after he passed". Back then (until I started to 'settle down' around 1989), my Dad considered me 'borderline irresponsible', and being in the Army, moving from duty station to duty station....... I don't blame my Dad one bit!. Quote:
