I was recently given a Remington model 11 form an old family friend. He used it for upland, and sometime ago had a poly-choke installed upon it.

It dates, according to remington, and their serial # data base, to 1942.

I'd rate the wood in 90%, and the blue about 85%. the gent was a stickler for maintaning his "tools" as he called them.

It is chambered for "2 3/4 and smaller"; according to the barrel, and is engraved with a duck scene on one side, and a pheasant on the other.

I know no more about these guns, short of it's production under Browning's A5 patent.
any information about these shotguns would be great, as it sure likes a trusted work horse, still able to perform many years of hunting!
below are some pics...

more pics of the receiver

These classic guns are a joy to use and I have them in 12, 16 and 20 gauges. The proper positioning of the friction rings is important for reliable functioning with different loads. The Browning website at www.browning.com has a lot of information and you can print off an owners' manual. All the best...

My father in law had one for a long time. It is basically a n A-5 Browning. Savage also made one similar too. I don't remember if the Rem had a magazine cut off like the Brownings have. Fine old gun. enjoy shooting it.

thanks to all who responded!
I plan on shooting it this weekend!

Hey M141a, did you shoot your 11? I also have one, a bit older than yours (appears to predate FN production so, yeah, it's OLD). The flat back gives a great sighting plane. I can hit clay targets much better with it than my Remington 870 Express.
There are two down sides I've noticed. It does NOT like target shells, even with the friction ring in the "light" position. So they won't let me shoot it at the local trap range. :( The other is that fouling tends to build up at the front of the carrier. You find out when you try to put the second shell in and both shells pop out. It's deeper into the gun than I want to go, but for a $40 "detail strip & clean" it works flawlessly for another 3-4 years.
Happy shooting,
Mike Tucker

Oh I shot it.
At first, it was literally crushing the clays, a broke bird with every shot.
Then it stopped shooting entirely. Felt like the safety was on, but it wasn't.
Brought it home, disassembled, and found that the ancient fiber buffer on the back of the receiver had gone and disintagrated:(
So I figgered I'd take the whole darn thing right down to the receiver, and have it sonically cleaned.
That's when I found the crack in the bolt assy.:mad:
So at this moment, after a long and frantic search, I have a bolt coming from Arizona, for the cost of $60.00
Once I get it back together, with a the "new" bolt and a new fibre buffer and rivet, we'll start all over again.

By the by, mine cycles target loads fine....:confused:
