Hi all,
I was hoping some folks more knowledgeable than myself could educate me on a recently inherited shotgun given to me by my uncle. It is a 16 gauge Remington Model 11 semi-automatic shotgun with a fixed adjustable choke. The serial number is 1593510 under the Remington logo and a drawing of a mallard in flight. I have attached a few pictures. I am not quite sure how old it is and I am having trouble deciphering Remington's serial code system. It looks its age, but it seems to be in pretty good shape.
I don't have any experience with semi automatic shotguns, I already have another shotgun I like, and it was given to me more as a clearing-of-the-closet than a gift, so sentimentality isn't really an issue. I just need some more info before deciding whether I should appreciate this shotgun more and hang on to it, actually hunt with it, or just sell it.
Thanks in advance for any input!
