personally I wouldn't pay more than $125 ... no clue on value , research prices on GB or GA
FYI they kick like mules -
I agree, it would have to dang near be free for me to even mess with it.Comment

A 12 ga with plain barrel blue books @ $300 for a 100% specimen to $140 @ 60%. Add 10-15% for vent rib.Comment

Well I ended up paying 75$ . It needs a barrel and new furniture , any ideas of where to look for those parts..Comment

You likely bought a money pit
That model shotgun is 50+ yrs old and replacement parts are a PIA to find
Barrel $125
Fore arm. $136
Butt stock $60
All these parts are SOLD OUT at GunPartsCorp.com
My suggestion , sell it and get your money back and buy a used 870 for $150-175
If you want an auto-loader, find a used 1100 for $250-300Comment

my grandpa had one. before he got eat up with alhiemers he ran a box or 2 of 16 gauge shells thru it and his was a 12.
I stopped by one day he had it in pieces trying to figure out why it wouldn't eject shells!
I got it now and it still works. no telling how many black ducks and teal he killed with that thing.Comment

A possible option, find another 1148 and use 1 for parts. You can buy a complete gun less than replacement parts
Problem is you'll be spending more $$$ and have 2 shotguns that no one shoots anymore
Kinda like buying a non-running Ford Maverick , then doing a resto to make it a daily driverComment

I've got one in 28 gauge that's a lot of fun.Comment

Bummer !! Maybe it will be a wall hanger .. It def looks cool .Comment

Some more info., the 1148 is based on the Model 11 (A5) which is a John Browning design
Spring recoil as the entire barrel travels back during the cycling process.... That is why they kick like a muleComment
