The Remington Model 11-87 is a semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by Remington Arms and based on the earlier Model 1100. The Model 11-87 remains in contemporary production, 34 years after being introduced in 1987. The Model 11-87 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun. Upon firing a shell, some of the high-pressure gases from the burning gunpowder are diverted through two small holes in the underside of the barrel, forcing a piston and the bolt toward the buttstock, which in turn ejects the spent shell.
...
A spring then forces the bolt forward, sending a new shell from the magazine into the chamber. This gas operation has the effect of reducing the recoil felt by the shooter, since the total recoil energy is spread out over a longer period of time than would be the case with fixed-breech shotguns. The Model 11-87 incorporates a self-compensating gas system design, which allows the gun to operate with a range of loads, from light 2+3⁄4-inch (7.0 cm) shells to 3-inch (7.6 cm) Magnum shells, without any adjustment by the operator. It is manufactured in 12 gauge and 20 gauge; both will cycle 2+3⁄4-inch and 3-inch shells.Remington 11-87 For Sale

Remington 11-87 Capacity
The Remington 11-87 features a magazine tube able to accept 4 rounds of both 2.75” and 3” shells. To load the 11-87, rounds are loaded directly into the magazine tube through the loading port on the bottom of the receiver.
Remington 11-87 Feature
The Remington 11-87 is a semi-automatic shotgun with a 4-round fixed tube magazine. It is available with a composite or wood stock and handguard, and has a 30 inch vent-ribbed barrel with replaceable chokes.
Remington 11-87 Ergonomics
The Remington 11-87 features a more traditional Monte-Carlo style buttstock and a beefy, well-contoured handguard. The charging handle along the bolt is large enough to grab bare-handed or while wearing gloves, the push-button safety is located along the back of the trigger guard and the bolt release lever is located along the bottom of the receiver in front of the trigger guard.
Remington 11-87 Mobility
The Remington 11-87 measures 50 inches long and has a weight of 8.25 pounds. Moving around anything other than an open field may be difficult for some users while the 11-87 would prove to be an absolute hindrance on anyone trying to use it in a close-quarter environment.
Remington 11-87 Fit-N-Finish
Special care should be taken into consideration when loading the Remington 11-87. The lifter that guides the shells from the magazine tube into the chamber almost acts as a dust cover. The lifter is easily pushed out of the way when loading shells into the magazine, however it’s under some spring pressure and can pinch a user’s finger and slow down their reload.
