My grandfather, born in 1893 shot a Remington Model 11, 12 gauge. One day, when hunting ducks with my dad he touched the muzzle into the mud. The next shot opened the muzzle like a blunderbus. He had an early Polycoke attached, which is how I shot the gun when it was given to me.
That ancient Model 11 was heavy as lead, but I shot it for years until some yahoo broke into my apartment and stole it. I learned on that old gun and I still like shooting over the "hump" today. Now I shoot a Rem model 11 20 gauge which also sports a polychoke and I like it. Remington Model 11's are cheap and Browning Auto 5's are not, but for the life of me I see little difference between the two.
