Mohawk 48

[ExAgoradzo]

So, I'm going to be looking at one next week. Remington semiauto...anything else I need to know about it? He says its in good condition, he wants my Moss 500 HD setup. I am willing to do him the favor, but just would like to know anything you can tell me: Wikipedia doesn't say much about it.

Thanks gents,
Greg

Same as the Remington 11-48. It uses a simplified long recoil action, like an Auto 5 (or Remington 11) except with sexy lines.

The Remington 870 is basically a pump action version of the 11-48, so a lot of parts interchange or can be fitted. The unique parts will likely be expensive.

A friend of mine has one, very reliable weapon. The Mohawk 48's were made up to use the left over 11-48 parts. as i recall his gun liked rem-oil for lube on the mag-tube.

I have a regular 11-48 in 16 gauge, I enjoy it.

Long recoil operation isn't common on many modern firearms. It's unique, I like the way it handles better than my gas autos. That could honestly be fit more than action. I personally wouldn't trade my 11-48 for a M500. So, if you want something that's more of a classic than tactical I would say go for it. If your 500 is a special edition or has valuable aftermarket or gunsmith modifications it won't be a fair trade. 11-48's aren't generally expensive shotguns, so if the 11-48 isn't in great shape it's probably not a good deal for you.

Hey, the sexiest shotgun ever made was the Auto 5.

Here's an article with a few interesting bits.

I would think your gun is worth more. The 48s are cheap here. Find a pawnshop and tell them to call you when they get one.
