Good restoration job and you got it at a great price. Any before pictures?

Good job. Working on one a model 11 myself-just an incomplete pile of parts at the moment.

Nice to see these old workhorses put back in service.

yep. it came to me all torn into pieces. took awhile to find the square style firing pin bolt for a reasonable price. I got all the parts needed and went to work.


I have one that my dad bought me when i was around 12 years old. it dates 1914 and has been hunting with me every year without any problems.
