I have a Rem. M11 that has a 28" cyl. bore. Is this factory?
It is a 28" solid rib barrel, and is marked CYL underneath
the barrel, right in front of the extension.

    Today I found one of these old shotguns & it's diffrerent from any of the others I own. On the left side upper part of the reciever it's stamped US Military Finish. The charging handle has Model 11 stamped into it. The shop owner says he will take $170.00 for it. The shotgun is 70%. $170.00 sounds high to me. Is this variant worth more than the others? Any help is appreciated.

    It is a 3 barrel set with solid ribs ( 26 Ic 28 F 32 F) 75 percent blue or better. Wood has pad added and small crack in wrist. It is a 20 gauge. How much do the extra barrels help the value?

    It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

    Are all model 11 barrels interchangable? I know that there is a pre-war model......and then the post war model. I thought the only difference is the safety.

    Was given a Remington Model 11 (I think) Ser No. 29929. The barrel is marked cyl on the left side near the receiver and has the Remington markings (Remington Arms Co) on the L/H side of the barrel. Other than this there are no other markings. Nothing on the side of the receiver or bolt. No ordinance markings on the wood or metal. It has the inside the trigger guard safety.

    There is a replacement slip-on recoil pad (now removed-no butt plate) the wood is in pretty good shape, metal is fair-light rust and patina. Easily cleaned up.

    Clues as to DOM and value???? Any leads on a replacement butt-plate? Were any of these made for other brands, thus lacking some of the standard markings?

    Please excuse my errors, I just joined the forum 30 minutes ago. I inherited a Remington Model 11 (not on the gun that I can find) 12ga. 30" FULL with the letters CRR on the left side barrel and SN 7352XX. I saw one similar in a gun shop about 6 months ago for $150, and yesterday I returned and its still there. So, what have I got and what good is it. I understand no steel shot, and nobody I know would lug it around a wheatfield. If it is worth <$100, I have considered cutting the barrel to 18", carving a pistol grip, and sitting up nights with the hope that somebody will kick in my front door. Any suggestions? Is it likely anyone would want it for something better? Thanks, bummy268.

    Does anyone know if a stock from a remington Model 11 with the safety inside the trigger guard is the same as one with the safety at the rear of the trigger guard? Are they interchangable?

    I have a shotgun Remington Model 11 Browning Automatic. Using your previous answers I have narrowed it down to somewhere between 1922 and 1924. serial# is 352876. Pictures to follow. I am wondering what it is worth. Just a neighborhood estimate. Thanks for your help.

    I have a 20 Gauge Remington Model 11. It looks exactly like a browning a-5. The Previous Owner hacked the barrel to 19 inches. My question is I can't find a Remington model 11 barrel for it anywhere. I am looking for 24-26 inches. Will a browning a-5 barrel fit? Thanks!

    I am trying to remove the stock on a Rem. Model 11. My manual says to remove the two bottom tang screws, and the stock should slide right off. I can get it to wiggle side to side a little, but won't budge going back. There's gotta be a trick to get this off somehow???
    Thanks for your help.

    I'm not too gun savy so please bare with me! I went to a pawn shop to buy a shotgun to hunt with and was shown a Remington Model 11 made in 1939. It was in pretty good shape to my untrained eye. I have since gone to the Remington website and have learned that there were several versions of this gun. I don't remember if there was any engraving on the reciever or stock checkering on the gun I saw. So my questions are: is this gun worth the $200 price? Would it ge a good general purpose gun for Turkey or possible Deer? If it breaks, is it easy to have it fixed? Thanks to all for any guidance you can offer.

    I recently acquired a Remington Model 11 in 12 ga. with a solid rib. The serial number on the bottom front of the receiver appears to be 774139. It's a little hard to read, so it could be D74139. I'd appreciate it if someone could translate that to the date of manufacture. Thanks.

    I have an old Remington model 11 shotgun(riot gun), there are engravings on the side of a pheasant. The forestock has a small crack on it. I was wondering how much this would be worth.

    I have a Model 11 Remington marked with "Property U.S.Navy"
    that needs a barrel with the CUTTS Compensator. Is their a difference between the Model 11 and the "SPORTSMAN" barrels?
    Thanx for help..... I know squat about shotguns and want to acquire a "correct" barrel with Cutts for this WWII veteran

    Interesting!

    Should the gun have been government property, then I'd expect it to have the ordinance stamp "bomb" somewhere on the piece. I suppose it could have been a purchase for one of the Navy service clubs and escaped the stamping, but that's sort of far-fetched given what I know.

    Two barrels? Again, unlikely for a government firearm. Barrels should both bear a serial (or at least the last two or three numbers) which agree with the receiver.

    Another scenario, though I fail to comprehend the reason, is that someone spuriously stamped the piece. Things like this happen. Sort of a Wells Fargo syndrome.

    I believe that Remington would probably be able to furnish the answer to your question. Records will indicate whether sold to the government I'd expect. If so, then the gun merely escaped stamping. If not... It would appear that someone was playing games.

    I will take a look at it , but I seem to remember seeing the ordnance bomb stamped on the reciever as well ,have not looked at the barrels close , so they should have the seriel number as well that match the reciever ?

    common guns used on ships and eventually made their way back to base MWR skeet ranges for customer use. used a lot in training during ww2.
    most were written off the books and sold as surplus. you see them a lot on the market today. i sold mine for 400.00 10 years ago. won it at a military match 1st place award. it was beat too. many u.s. marked guns have a following.
    odds of serial numbers matching is few and far between.

    I know that how they helped train and recruit bomber gunners, to see who could lead a target properly. Didnt know fighter pilots did it as well.

    Do not know if ANY of this may apply to your shotgun, but use of shotguns by the military has included combat uses, training aerial gunners, skeet/trap competition, guard duty, use by correctional/ police staff, use by military game wardens, and use by buoy tenders (when spray freezes on one side of buoy, makes buoy list sharply. Birdshot removes ice) and other uses I am sure I missed.
