    I am in the process of trying to put together a collection of 11-48 Remingtons. So far I have two, one in 12 gauge and one in 16 gauge. The 16 gauge is marked 11-48 but the the 12 gauge is marked 11-48B. What does the "B" stand for.

    Will a Remington 1100 or 11-87 buttstock fit a Remington 11-48?

    Thanks

    From the sunny/rainly south [8D],

    I just bought the first ever Remington 11-48 that I've ever held and looked over. I was never actively looking for one...but I saw this nice example and the price was right. I know there are after market goodies for the 870, 1100s and more, but are there any worthwhile goodies for the 11-48? Also, I read earlier posts that mentioned feed woes...are there any other inherent problems with this model?

    TTFN,

    Jim

    DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN SIMPLY INSTALL AN 11-87 BUTT STOCK AND FOREARM REPLACEMENT ON MY 11-48 ? MY 11-48 HAS A CRACKED BUTT STOCK AND I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING A WOOD REPLACEMENT IN 11-48. I WOULD EVEN USE SYNTHETIC IF I COULD FIND THE BUTT AND FOREARM.
    OR, DO I HAVE TO USE AN 11-48 PIECE?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR TYOUR TIME.

    Try a thorough cleaning of the gun by dis-assembling it into the major groups,clean with a good solvent, and re-assemble. Be sure to clean the action spring in the stock and lightly oil it. Also apply a VERY light oil film to the magazine tube exterior. These guns, if clean and lightly lubricated, will shoot light skeet loads and/or duck loads, interchangably, rat-a-tat-tat!!
    If you don't know how and have no friends to show you, take it to a good gunsmith.

    Cheers,

    Hello "Ox190"[:)]

    The Remington 11-48 works on the same recoil principle as the Browning A5 "humpback".

    Disassemble the gun as completely as you can. Steel wool and Marvel Mystery Oil the magazine tube. Wipe off with old T-shirt. Then wipe down with acetone. When it has dried off put a VERY light coating of a high temperature lithium grease on the magazine tube.

    Next look down inside the receiver. You should see a set of rails that the bolt slides on. Sand them and the grooves down with the finest grit wet sand paper you can get. Back to the acetone. When dry lube to a fair degree with the lithium based grease.

    The recoil spring in the stock should be cleaned and wiped down with the acetone and a very fine coating of the lithium base grease.

    If you have done it correctly, the fired shotshell will be looking for landing clearance at the county airport before the next shot is fired.

    Best Wishes[:)]

    To add to the expert advice given....I had one of these and one of the problems was me. With this type of action you have to have a very good mount. If the gun doesn't have a firm base to recoil against it tends to have ejection problems. By all means a thorough cleaning is the starting point though!!!!!!!!!!

    Ox190 - Most of what you've been advised to do is sound but I was surprised to note that no one had mentioned the invertible friction ring between the recoil spring and the barrel ring - my 11-48 has a mechanical adjustment for Hi-Brass & Low-Brass shells and that friction ring is incused with arrows pointing which way to set the friction ring according to whether you are shooting Low- or Hi-Brass shells. That is the first place I would look - if your shotgun does not have such a ring or if it has been relocated on the magazine tube below the recoil spring and is up against the receiver I think that may be a source of your problem.
