Thanks.
Care to be a little more specific?
It's a 12 ga. ("V" suffix) 2 3/4" chambered Remington Model 1100 autoloading shotgun made between 1968 and 1974 ("L" prefix).

Does it have a ventilated rib barrel?
What's the barrel length? Typically they were 26", 28" or 30".
Does it have a recoil pad on the stock? If so, does it say Remington or something else?
On the left side of the barrel near where it meets the receiver, it should have a "choke" marking. Could be Full, Mod (Modified), Imp. Cyl. (Improved Cylinder) if it's a field grade gun.
If it says "Skeet", then it would probably be a skeet gun. Skeet guns probably wouldn't have recoil pads.
According to the letter codes, it's not a magnum......just a standard 2 3/4" chamber.

Re: Model 1100 12ga. WHAT IS IT?
Back then, the skeet and trap guns had "Skeet" or "Trap" rollmarked into the receiver. As long as the barrel doesn't say either of those, it's a standard field grade, then check the barrel date code to see if that falls withing the serial number date range to determine if it could be the original barrel. Doesn't mean it is, but it is likely.
What could have happened... did.
