Dating winchester model 12 shotguns

In 1934 Du Pont acquired controlling interest of Remington Arms Co., Inc.

It is a Slide Action shotgun with barrel lengths of 18" to 32" and was made in 12 and 20 gauge.

Greetings Remington Society I recently inherited my grandfathers shotgun collection and apparently he loved OLD Model 11 12 Gauge Shotguns !!!!

I intend on restoring two or three of these for my brothers as family heirlooms.

It was one of those wretched looking plastic things that didn’t hold up very well.

The wood Hydro-coil stocks as made by Dockwiller were another thing entirely.

Combined 12-gauge "Model 11" and "The Sportsman" serial numbers reached 499,999 on August 1, 1943.
