Interesting article by Ayoob, his shotgun mentioned in the article piqued my interest. I own a Model 11, and I sure would like to modify it as it is described in the article. Here are some quotes regarding it.
"For close work, he was partial to the Remington Model 11, a clone of the Browning 12 gauge Automatic-5, with an extended magazine."
"A southpaw, Askins liked ambidextrous autoloaders and lever actions for long guns-- the Savage Model 99, the .351 Winchester and the 12 ga. Remington. The latter, he said, was cut to 22 barrel length for him by J. D. Buchanan, who also affixed a full length extended magazine that held eight shells, bringing total capacity to nine rounds."
I don't know about cutting it down, as it is a fixed full choke, and I would like to keep it at full, rather than messing around with all that adding chokes and stuff. But I would like to know if anyone has modified their Model 11 like Askins, and what they thought about it. Also, if anyone has a source, or a how-to on how to add an extended magazine to the model 11, I am all ears.
P.S. If you can't tell, I like old school tactical stuff, fitz revolvers, wood stocks on the long guns, that sort of thing.
