Not a fine double but an American Classic

I picked up a really clean Remy M-11A circa 1928. 28" full chokes raised solid rib. $56.74 in 1929, unbelievable quality. I wish the side game events at Rock Mountain and the Vintagers allowed pre-WW2 American made autos along with the pump guns events. I would like to acquire a high condition M-11B, D and E.

the Remington model 11 was a well made gun....looks like were having bacon...charlie

I have my fathers 20ga. Model 11. (Not the 3 shot sportsman) Its a light, very shootable gun and I have shot a bunch of quail, woodcock and grouse with it. Cyl choke barrel.
I have to agree these guns should be included in the pre WWII shoots. |
My favorite Model 11 is a 20 gauge round top receiver conversion. I don't know who did those conversions, but I suspect Abercrombie and Fitch. I have never seen mention of these guns in old advertising. Maybe someone here has seen an ad for these guns.

On the other hand those who want to shoot vintage semis or pump guns or anything else just for fun can do that any time they want to at regular prices on sporting clays courses. Score card doesn't matter then. Just sayin ..... |
No handicap needed for the Remington Autoloading Shotgun ;)
After introduction, it was quickly adopted by trap competitors; didn't hurt to have the great Rolla Heikes and Charles Budd on board (Heikes had used a Remington double to win the 1st 1900 GAH at Targets, and both used Parkers at the 1901 Anglo-American Match) https://photos.smugmug.com/Trap-Skee...C%201906-L.png J.J. Banks then won the 1907 GAH https://photos.smugmug.com/Trap-Skee...emington-L.jpg And Fred Harlow won in 1908 Forest & Stream July 4 1908 https://books.google.com/books?id=ejQevDPMUIYC&pg=PA27 One of these would be nice; 1910 Norvell-Shapleigh Hdw. catalog https://photos.smugmug.com/Trap-Skee...%20Hdw.-XL.jpg |

Norvell-Shapleigh was lagging behind the times. In the 1908 Remington Arms Co. catalog they began offering the Matted Rib on any grade for $7 list price extra. Also the option of 26-inch barrels. By the 1910 Remington Arms Co. catalog they dropped the list price of the Matted Rib to $6.75 and began offering the option of a Ventilated Rib on any grade for $13 list price extra.

I have a Model 11 just like that one craig. It is the one model 11 that I kept from the time that I had examples of grades A - E.
I shoot the gun well, I like it a lot. |

Most likely run it as a non-trophy event for the first year and if it gets enough play we'd add a trophy in 2023. We're all about shotgunfun!! Browning A-5, Remington Model 11, Savage Model 720 and Model 745 |
