This is a Remington Model 1100 semi-automatic shotgun, 12 gauge, configured as follows:
* Gauge / Chamber: 12 gauge, 2¾” chamber (standard field configuration) * Barrel: 26” barrel (common sporting/field length) * Choke: Modified choke (fixed or marked barrel; mid-range constriction for upland/game use) * Receiver: Factory scroll-engraved receiver (decorative grade—typically higher than plain utility models) * Stock / Fore-end: High-gloss walnut furniture (factory or factory-grade replacement finish consistent with mid-1970s production) * Date code: “REP” = November 1975 manufacture (Remington barrel date code system)
What this configuration indicates
* Mid-1970s production Remington 1100, widely regarded as part of the “golden era” of 1100 manufacturing. * 26” modified choke setup is optimized for: * upland bird hunting (quail, pheasant) * general field use * clay targets (skeet/sporting clays at moderate distance) * Scroll-engraved receiver increases collector interest compared to standard field models.
Estimated market value (2026 U.S. resale)
Assuming good mechanical condition and no major wear:
* Standard field condition: $450 – $700 * Very good condition (clean wood, strong blueing, tight action): $700 – $950 * Excellent / collector-grade (minimal wear, crisp engraving, original finish): $950 – $1,300+
Primary value drivers:
* Original finish (especially wood + bluing integrity) * Condition of gas system (critical on Remington 1100s) * Matching barrel/receiver wear consistency * Presence of factory engraving (yours is a positive factor
