The Remington Arms Company Model 1100 .410 bore shotgun is a classic American semi-automatic shotgun recognized for its distinctive styling, smooth operation, and place in Remington's long history of sporting firearms. Introduced in 1963, the Model 1100 became one of the company's most recognizable shotgun designs and was produced in numerous configurations and gauges over the years. The .410 bore Model 1100 is particularly appealing because of its compact bore size and graceful proportions. Depending on the individual configuration and production period, an example may feature a walnut stock and fore-end, a blued receiver and barrel, and a ventilated rib. The receiver typically carries the traditional Remington markings associated with the Model 1100 series, while individual examples can vary in barrel specifications, finish, wood quality, and other factory details. The Model 1100 uses a gas-operated semi-automatic action designed to cycle successive shots. Its familiar profile, balanced appearance, and classic American styling have made the Model 1100 popular among shotgun enthusiasts and collectors. The .410 configuration is especially distinctive because of its relatively uncommon combination of the Model 1100 platform with the smallest commonly recognized shotgun bore. Today, a Remington Model 1100 in .410 bore can be an attractive addition to a collection of classic American sporting firearms. Collectors may pay particular attention to the shotgun's overall condition, originality, markings, wood, finish, and factory configuration when documenting an individual example. Its combination of recognizable Remington design, semi-automatic operation, and .410-bore configuration gives the Model 1100 a unique place in Remington's shotgun history. MSSS
