Went to Florida to see my uncle. He said he had something for me. He went and got his old 16 guage Remington 11-48. Asked me to take good care of and enjoy it. I told him I would be happy to use it and pass it down to the grandkids. Came with a beautiful hand made leather case. He has given to me my father's and his first single shot shotguns that were given to them from my grandfather.

Wow, that's purty nice! Keep that one in the family for sure.

Sweet! Oldies are the best!

That’s pretty sweet!! Congrats!

Beautiful Gift

She's purdy ... Treasure her

Nice

Like to see 'em kept in the family! My Uncle gave me his Mod 98 Win, 12 ga, and I'm gonna pass it along to his grandson.

I can smell the Hoppes #9 all the way over here ha ha very nice shotgun !!!

Very nice , wanna sell it

old family guns are the best guns

Nice piece, just be sure when you do pass it down be sure recipient totally appreciates just what it is.

Ah yes, the browning long recoil system. Love those old double shuffle shotguns.

Yes sir.

IF that’s a = 1148 Remington. My uncle gave me 1 just like that about 10 years back. Nice gun

You got a nice one there

My most precious possession is a double damascus barreled bang stick handed to me by my father. He shared that his 'family idiot' had used it to shoot starlings off the barn with modern shotshells and his father took it and placed it into Dad's hands with the same warning I got. The next modern shotshell in it will mark the last day you own it. Dad has passed but I will honor his warning.

That’s Awesome to see those guns handed down to the next generation.

That’s my favorite shot gun. Bought it about 1974 used. 16 is a fun gauge and I love the action.

A less so obvious gift. You were deemed worthy of it. That part is priceless.

I love 11-48's! Mine is in a 28 gauge and is my turkey gun.

Very nice.Looks like the old Sportsman-48 20 gauge I have.Not sure whats the difference between the Sportsman 48 and the 11-48.Mine will only hold three shells.

Very nice firearm. To me the real value is your uncle really trusts you to take care of the piece and pass it down for the next generations. Kudos to you!

very nice , now it is time to go 16ga shell shopping

used to see a few boxes of slugs once a year but maybe because all the 20 and 12 were missing from the shelf I started seeing some 16 ga ammo around

My grandfather passed his 11-48 12 ga to me when I was 10. I still shoot it today I am 64. As an adult I managed to collect the entire 11-48 series including the 410 which I didn't know even existed. My first new shotgun was at 12 an 1100 12. I still use it. If I can pick up the 12 and 20 magnum I will have that complete set. The 410 was the hardest and most expensive of those. Awesome gift and I know like mine it has a lot of sentimental value. I look forward to passing mine down.

that's great

My first gun was a 16ga bolt action Mossberg. I still have it, although I have not shot it in decades. It got me a lot of game growing up. I always liked the 16ga. I even have an old Lee load all for reloading somewhere around.

No matter how hard life gets ....that gun is not to be traded or sold.

Nice piece

Congrats and be sure to try to pass on his love of the outdoors that he must have had to grant you a wonderful item

I have my fathers old Remington 16 gauge as well.

It kicks like a mule.

I have my Dad's 16 exactly like that one. Mine/Dad's has a 2 shot magazine, does this one?

Takes five shells.

Nice uncle! Congratulations!

Sweet gun.
