Description:
REMINGTON ARM Model 11-87 SEMI-AUTOMATIC 12 Gauge “PREMIER” Modern Shotgun

Popular Bird, Skeet, and Trap Shotgun

Here we present a Modern Remington Model 11-87 Premier Semi-Automatic Shotgun, manufactured in Ilion, New York with a three year production run circa 1987-1990. The Remington Model 11-87 is a shotgun manufactured by Remington Arms and based on the earlier Model 1100. The Model 11-87 remains in contemporary production, 35 years after being introduced in 1987. The Model 11-87 incorporates a self-compensating gas system design, which allows the gun to operate with a range of loads, from light 2-3/4 inch shells to 3 inch Magnum shells, without any adjustment by the operator. It is manufactured in 12 gauge and 20 gauge, and both will cycle 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells. A lightened version of the Model 11-87, the Model 11-96, was offered in the late 1990s in 12 gauge only.

The original version of the Remington Model 1100 shotgun came out only in 12 gauge in 1963, followed by the 16 gauge and 20 gauge in 1964, and finally the 410 gauge in 1969. Designed by Wayne Leek and Robert Kelley, the Remington Model 1100 was introduced as a successor to the Model 58 and Model 878 shotguns. The Model 58 had supplanted the recoil operated Model 11-48, which retained the long recoil action of John Browning's original design, present in the Model 11 and the Browning Auto-5. Upon its introduction in 1963, the Model 1100 replaced the Model 58 and Model 878, and later replaced the Model 11-48 as well.

A plain version of the Model 1100 in 12 gauge, named the Sportsman 12 Auto, was sold in stores such as Target, Kmart, and Walmart in the mid-1980s, along with the Sportsman 12 Pump, which was a plain Model 870 pump. The Sportsman 12 Auto had less costly birch stocks and less roll marking on the gun's receiver. These were simply cosmetic differences, and all Model 1100 parts in 12 gauge are fully interchangeable, including barrels and receivers. Both Sportsman 12 offerings were discontinued in 1987, concurrent with the introduction of the semi-automatic Model 11-87 and the pump action Model 870 Express.

The model 1100 holds the record for the most shells fired out of a semi-automatic shotgun without malfunction or cleaning, set in 1978 with a record of over 24,000 rounds fired. With a title like that, what is not to love about Remington's Model 1100?  This may explain why it has remained popular among bird hunters, skeet shooters, and trap Shooters since its introduction in 1963 through today.

The overall condition is fine. Excellent action. Original finish. The bore is mirror bright and remains smooth. This example sports an excellent stock and has retained sharp checkering. Nicely engraved frame. “PREMIER” is marked on the right side of the frame.
