I bought a shotgun about a year back, because, well, you gotta have at least one. And it was my first gun. I went to a local gun shop and looked at the "less expensive" shotgun and rifle rack, and a particular one caught my eye. The tag said 12 gauge 1933 Remington Model 11.
"Hey cool" I like old guns, lots of blue and walnut and character. So I left with it. Not the best gun, not the best deal in the world, but I like it. More importantly it fits like a glove, which is important for a tall (6'8") guy.
Now, it came with a fixed choke barrel, which was a full choke. I am thinking I want to use it for dove this year, but I need a MUCH wider barrel, like mod, or even cyl. So I get to thinking, and I see a recent thread about another Remington Model 11, and he has a nice picture of the remington roll-mark, and the words "Model 11" on there.
I think "hey, mine doesn't have that" how weird, right? So I come home and look at my shotgun, and lo and behold, not a manufacturers mark on the whole thing! The only identifying marks are the five digit serial number, and the word "full" printed on the barrel, next to the reciever.
What the heck is this gun? So I am putting it to you, dear readers, what do I have in my closet? Some possible clues are: It will only load shells when the button directly below the cocking lever is depressed. Also, the safety is inside the trigger guard, right in front of the trigger. And the top of the receiver has some nice squiggly lines, rather than just straight ones. Other than that, it is free of embellishment or decoration.
Thank you for any insights.
