A friend of mine has come up with a 16 ga Remington Sportsman 48. He found it behind a plank in a closet wall of his old home place where he was raised the day before the bulldozers pushed the old house down. He asked me to do a little research for him on the shotgun. I have some info from the Remington web site like manufacturing dates etc.
To my understanding, the model 48 is not the same as the 11-48 right? Any general info shared about this model is appreciated. Anything special about them? Collector's item? Were they good weapons?
I have not seen the weapon yet. Right now he just says that it is covered in dust etc. I will probably offer to clean it up for him before he tries to shoot it. Any parts, o-rings, etc that I should expect to acquire before taking it apart?
I would love to have a picture of the Sportsman 48 breakdown if anyone out there has one to post.
