So, I did a little horse trading after church Sunday and gave up a Maverick 88, an 18.5" barrel for the same, and a $100 bill for a Remington Model 11 12 gauge shotgun. Barrel is 28" with the poly choke as an aftermarket add on (I think, the barrel is marked mod). Serial number is 378xxx which I believe makes it series 2. It wouldn't cycle for the guy that had it (and after printing out an owners manual from Remington's website the friction rings were in the wrong spot) so he wanted to off it quick. Couple questions, #1, did I do good? #2 any way to tell what year it was made? #3 what did they consider light and heavy loads? #4 What's it worth? #5 Other than Boyds does anyone know where I can get a replacement stock and for end? #6 The buttstock looks to be a replacement as the for end is glass smooth and very finely checkered and the buttstock isn't, anyone know where a reproduction round knob stock can be had? #7 Does anyone have a picture of the checkering pattern on an original, preferably round knob stock as that's what I'd like to put on it? #8 Do these have any issues other than friction ring misalignment and the fiber washer in the back of the receiver going to pot? #9 Are there any parts I should keep on hand as spares as I plan to shoot it a lot as I shoot it really well? And last but not least #10 Is there anything I just absolutely should read on these things, as I'm in the process of rebuilding my firearms library and have all of the major disassembly/reassembly manuals and am now looking into books more specific to the individual weapons I own?
