REMINGTON 1148

DUCKMAN · 11-28-2007, 09:10 PM

I HAVE A REMINGTON 1148 SHOTGUN.
BARREL LT. 26" / 2 3/4" CHAMBER.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A
REPLACEMENT BARREL 3" CHAMBER THAT WOULD FIT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO
USE IT FOR DUCK HUNTING.

THANKS, DUCKMAN

Sorry, That is a 2-3/4" gun ONLY ! Not a Magnum receiver on the 11-48...

Rich is correct. The 11-48 went out of production before the 3" shells appeared. That being said, my late uncle hunted ducks with a 2 3/4" Model 11-48 for many years. Worked fine for him.

3" 12 ga. shells came out in the mid 20s at least if not before. That being said the 11-48 is not a 3" shotgun and can not be converted to one. They are great shotguns, just enjoy it in 2.75"s. Between my son and I we have 3 of them in 16 ga., which is the gauge we both enjoy. They are a recoil operated shot gun on the same princable as the Browning A-5. Enjoy it.

3" shells in the 1920? Hmmmm..... I did not know that.

A.H Fox was chambering 3" 12s in the 20s. Model 12 Win. in the 30s, don't have exact dates handy right now, but just handled a very nice Fox 3" from 1926 Thursday.

You can kill decoying ducks fine with 2 3/4" In a gun prior to mid 80's I would not recommend steel though, the barrels & chokes will not tollerate it long.
