Koyote Tan's video: Remington 11-48 Grand Daddy to the Remington 1100 11-87 870

@Remington 11-48. Grand Daddy to the Remington 1100, 11-87, & 870.
See more content at KoyoteTan.com I recently purchased this Remington Model 11-48 Sportsman at Cabelas for a steel of only $125. It is a 1951 production year 11-48 with a good strong receiver, barrel, and bolt carrier. It operated with near perfection in 100 rounds. Time will tell whether it continues to operate well. The Remington Arms Company of post WWII was forced to compete against their own Remington Model 11 shotguns coming home as surplus "Riot Guns" from the war. To give sportsman and other buyers a newer, sleeker design to buy, Remington developed the Model 11-48 and began selling them strongly as part of the "New Generation" Remington firearms from 1949 until 1968. It was designed by L. Ray Critendon, Ellis Hailston, and C.R. Johnson. The 11-48 is a long-recoil operated semi-automatic shotgun based on the Remington Model 11, which was a licensed shotgun design patented and invented by John Moses Browning. The Model 11 was the second of the authorized licensed productions of Browning's Auto 5, the first being the FN A5. The 11-48 was marketed as a less-complicated, streamlined modification of old A5 shotguns. It was said to be able to fire loads of different weight and pressure without adjustment of the internal friction rings. The 11-48 is the Grand Daddy to the Remington gas operated 1100 & 11-87 as well as the pump-action 870. All 3 of those guns inherit many parts, receiver shape, magazine tubes, and furniture from the 11-48. Designed by most of the same team of designers, L.Ray Crittendon, Phillip Haskell, Ellis Hailston, G.E. Pinckney, the pump-action 870 quickly followed the 11-48 in 1951 and is the most widely sold shotgun in history with an estimated 10 million plus sold worldwide. The Remington 1100, designed by famous designer Wayne Leek, overlapped with the final years of the 11-48 production, being introduced in 1963. The heavier 11-87, also designed by Wayne Leek, was produced to with models handle Magnum or Super Magnum loads in 1987. Many parts common to both the 870 and the 1100 series of shotguns will work in the 11-48, parts like the firing pin, tube springs, tube extensions, modified stocks, etc. Other parts on the 11-48 are unique to its design only and therefore are harder to come by and can only be found used from other shotguns.
