Remington A-5

I inherited a Remington shotgun from my grandfather when he passed and would like to find out the age and more about the gun. It looks like an A-5 but says Remington on the action. The barrell says Remington but references Browning patents. The serial number doesn't have the format of neither a Browning or Remington. Can you please help? Thanks, Bill V

    Good Morning billva,

    Welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.com

    What you have there is a Remington Model 11. Basically Remingtons copy of the A-5, and almost a direct copy.

    Per the BlueBook:
    quote:REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, INC. : SHOTGUNS: SEMI-AUTO, DISC.

    - 12 or 20 (very rare) ga., original Remington mfg. of the Browning A-5, 5 shot, magazine cutoff, left side of the receiver has BROWNING trademark with a portrait of John Browning engraved on it, barrels were marked "Browning Arms Company St. Louis, MO (choke) Special Steel" and "Gauge 2 3/4 in. or 3 in." on three lines, various grades, 20 (riot), 26, or 28 in. plain or matted rib barrel. Mfg. 1905-1910.

    Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60%
    $395 $350 $275 $225 $175 $160 $135

    Add 20% for matted rib.



    MODEL 11A AUTOLOADER 5-SHOT Add to Collection

    Add 35% for barrels marked "Long Range" - beware of fakes.
    This model was mfg. under patent agreement with John Browning.





    Hope this gives you some help.

    Best,

    Does anyone know if a Browning A5 stock will fit a Remington Model 11 Auto?

    I am not sure of that, but there are plenty of Model 11 stocks floating around out there if they don't.
