Yes, this is an antique gun and it still works excellently. Keep in mind this gun was made for heavier loads; you can take it to the range but do not try shooting lightweight "trap or skeet loads." You need heavier brass for the long action to eject the shell as designed.

While you may be tempted to keep this antique on display; it was made to be a working gun and would make an excellent waterfowl gun; the weight and longer barrel/heavier action will reduce the recoil of the heaviest loads available.

This was a significant firearm historically as it was one of the first successful semi-automatic shotguns. The design was so reliable that variants remained in production for many decades.

The Model 11 was introduced in 1905 and discontinued in 1947, 

Remington Arms Co. introduced their 12-gauge, five-shot, John M. Browning designed, "Remington Autoloading Gun" in 1905. The company name was changed to Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. in 1911. Shortly after that Rem-UMC began calling that gun the Model No. 11. In 1920 the company name changed again to Remington Arms Co., Inc. Circa 1927/8 they changed the safety from the lever inside the trigger guard to a crossbolt behind the trigger.
