So, I just get this really cool Browning A5 Japanese Magnum and see on the internet the shop I got it from has a Remington Model 11 for about $200.00 less... :evil:
Coulda got a nice Wood & Blue REMINGTON instead?
I mean, HEY! I went IN THERE asking about that very thing!
( maybe they 'just' got it in after we were working the deal...nah! )
AR-rrrggh! I'm gonna have to go back and give 'em a bad time about that!
Maybe I'm gonna have to give 'em a down payment for a lay-away?!

So, what can you tell me about these Model 11's? 8)

Bus, you are beginning to see why people love these old works of art, A-5s, elevens, all machined parts, nothing stamped. You can buy a model 11 Remington for about 250 to 300, clean and oil it, maybe a spring or two and shoot another train load of shells, and still have a reliable gun to pass on to the next generation, how can you beat that?

I went back to the shop, but because they'd just re-opened with a new name, I got them mixed up with the guys down the street...
They laughed about that.
But, they talked to me about my interest in the Model 11 anyway and even gave me a couple of tips on where I might find one!
That's why I've been going to the same shop for the last few years. They're good people and I appreciate that.

I didn't want to do a duplicate post, but I'll ask here anyway because you never know where the answer might come up.
Mostly, it was about the interchangability of any parts, including the stock/forend, between the A4 and Model 11.
That's what I wanted to know.

Bus, about the only sure items is recoil parts and springs, (5 shot standard). Remington had about four different tang lenghts on stocks, some 5 shot forends will fit, barrels will not, due to ejector shape, (Browning probably wanted it this way, no mag cutoff either). With a little patience, needed parts can be found.
I think quality and reliability is as good as A-5. also, dont shoot steel shot in these or Belgium A-5's.
