The Mohawk is a 11-48 variant so 1949-1968, serial should be 5,000,000 + unless it's a 410 or 28 then it's 4,000,000+ so these don't overlap with the regular 48
its a Remington model shotgun(semi auto)
500 dollars
Id say a good $200-$300
The 878 was discontinued in 1962
They are date code stamped on the barrel on left side in front of receiver. A barrel location diagram and the date code table (month/year) is available on the Remington Society of America.
I think you mean the model 48, no 40 I've ever heard of, and in typical lack of creativity for models in 1948.
They month and year can be determined by the barrel code, all the details can be found on the Remington Society of America here: http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes (somewhere between 1948 - 68)

Check the date stamp on the barrel. The table look and details are on the manufactured date link of the Remington Society of America.
To disassemble a Remington Mohawk 48 shotgun, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Open the action and remove the barrel by loosening the magazine cap, then pull the barrel away from the receiver. Next, remove the trigger assembly by pushing out the pins that hold it in place. Finally, you can detach the bolt and other internal components as needed for cleaning or maintenance. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
