I'm trying to date a Model 11 outside of the standard Remington barrel marking codes.
RECEIVER
A friend has a Remington 11. The receiver is "engraved" as a sporting gun.
- I know that many true U.S. riots are.
The engraving quality, depth, etc.. looks newer than known U.S. riot guns I've handled.
The receiver has no ordnance/inspector markings.
-I know that some did not.
It does not say "Military Finish" on the receiver.
-I know that this is not always the case.
BARREL
The barrel appears to be a stand-up military riot as it has the bead (not the later elevated Cop front sight), Cyl marked and ordnance stamped.
WOOD
The fore end is plain though not slab-sided. The but has a rubber decelerator style pad, engraved grip area, civilian finish and no stamps.
So, what I've got is a serial number of 759024.
I'm thinking it's a proper commercial gun that a fella put a lucked-into, GI riot barrel on.
Now, I have a Navy training Model 11 with a Cop riot barrel (it had and I still have the long comped Navy marked barrel) and am looking to buy my pal's 1100 to swap barrels.
However, if this buddy's gun is somehow a correct commercially sourced and then converted riot gun, I'll likely leave it be.
So, then, is there a way to determine whether this is a late model (as it looks) receiver with an older barrel rather than a proper riot gun?
