Remington Mohawk 48 - 12 Gauge - Used; Excellent Condition - Classic American Semi-Auto

Description:
Remington Mohawk 48 - 12 Gauge - Used; Excellent Condition - Classic American Semi-Auto
Remington Mohawk 48 – The Budget-Friendly Classic – 12 Gauge
For sale is a Remington Mohawk 48 semi-automatic shotgun, chambered in 12 Gauge (2 & 3/4"). This shotgun is in excellent used condition and represents a classic piece of Remington history—a budget-friendly, recoil-operated semi-auto produced from roughly 1949 to 1960. It is a smooth-shooting, reliable shotgun that shares the same long-recoil Browning-style action as the Model 11-48. Serial Number: 5262794.
The Mohawk 48 was designed as a cost-effective alternative to the standard 11-48, featuring a lighter-colored birch stock with checkering, a plainer finish, and an aluminum trigger plate to reduce manufacturing costs. This example features a 28-inch barrel and has an overall length of 50 inches. The shotgun utilizes a friction ring system on the magazine tube that must be kept clean and lightly oiled to operate properly—a hallmark of the Browning long-recoil design.

Operation Notes – Friction Ring System

• The Mohawk 48 uses a friction ring system on the magazine tube, similar to the Browning Auto-5 and Remington Model 11.
• The friction ring must be properly positioned and kept clean and lightly oiled for the shotgun to cycle reliably.
