I bought one in 1971 (slightly) used for $75.00. Its owner was a friend of mine who bought it a K-Mart for $99.00, then he had a heart attack and the doctor told him no more shooting. It had been fired six times.
I used it for everything from doves to geese until 1984, when I bought my Citori. I still have it and it works fine.
It is recoil actuated, I believe a continuation of the model 11. Fit was crucial for me because it recoils more than a gas operated gun.
I was told once that when the 1100 came out, the remaining 11-48s were stamped Mohawk 48 and discounted. I have no idea if that is true.
