In mint crisp excellent condition, we have a very desirable August 1943 production US government contract Remington “THE SPORTSMAN” Riot Shotgun. This model in its commercial form was a cheaper version of the model 11 and only had a three shot magazine. They are much scarcer than the Model 11 Riot Shotguns. The barrel is military proofed and as with all of these guns in riot configuration it is cylinder bore and has a 3 shot capacity. These Browning designed semi-auto shotguns are the same gun as today’s Browning A5 shotguns and this has proven to be a design that has stood the test of time. During the war, these shotguns would be used by the Military Police to guard prisoners and installations. They were widely used by the Navy in various roles. This is a great WW2 combat shotgun.
PS. Sorry I forgot the picture of the left side, the gun is packed up for a show but if it does not sell (which I highly doubt) I will post on Monday
