Manufacturing Year-Shotgun

[fredz123]

I am interested in determining the manufacturing year of a 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun I possess. It is a Remington, with a serial number of 18432.

It has a 27" barrel, with FULL engraved on the side of the barrel. Also engraved on top of the barrel is engraved:
Manufactured by the Remington Arms Co., Ilion NY USA.
Browning's patents Oct.9,1900, Dec 17, 01, Sept 30, 02, June 18, 03.
There is no model number on the shotgun that I can find.
I can send you 2 pictures, via email, if you wish.
I look forward to your reply.

You have a Remington Autoloading Gun, the John M. Browning designed autoloader that Remington introduced in 1905. In 1911 Remington Arms Co. was combined with Union Metallic Cartridge Co. as Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. and they began calling this gun the No. 11. In that your gun says Remington Arms Co. it was made between 1905 and 1910.

In June 1907, barely two years after its introduction, Mr. Jefferson J. Blanks of Trezevant, Tennessee, won The Grand American Handicap shooting a Remington Autoloading Gun.

Remington must have made quite a few during that time frame as this is one of the most common questions on this site.
