Gents and Ladies,
A friend just called to tell me he has a choice of one of two shotguns from a deceased relative. One is a semi-auto Remington 11-48 in 16 gauge and the other is also a 16 gauge side-by-side but at the moment, he can't find a manufacturer. He is calling long distance so I can't see the gun except what he sends by text.
I know the -48 replaced the original post WWII model 11 but that's all I know. Another friend has an 11 which is broken and can't be repaired because no one has the part.
He is asking my opinion on which gun to take. At the moment and without knowing manufacturer on the double barrel, I will advise him to take the double. As soon as he calls, I will instruct him on how to remove the fore grip to look for a name. I would attach the photo of the double barrel he sent but it is not of the complete gun. The photo does show the receiver is case hardened.
From the initial photo, the double does not look like a Damascus barrel.
