Remington made a "Sportsman" model, from 1939 to 1949. It came in 121, 16, or 20 ga. It had a 26" barrrel, skeet choke, and beavertail foreend. It was manufactured in field, riot and skeet configurations. Plain barrel varies in price from $120 to $325. depending on condition.

Just for your info - be more specific when asking about guns - ie: barrel length, ribbed or not, ga. any particular markings etc. on the firearm.

Hope this helps.

i thought it was a 1100 but it dosnt say 1100 anywhere on the gun and the word sportsman made me belive maybe a sportsman 58


also the barrel has no changeble choke tubes guessing its modified
