Well not a Remington Model 11 but I won a Pre War Browning A-5 standardweight 16 gauge A-5 with a 28" plain full choke barrel for use at the Koneski Extraveganza next year !

I'm thinking it might be nice to have two or three classes by gauge perhaps

I recieved the copy of Dick Baldwins book “The Road to Yesterday” today . Bought it on Fleabay . From leafing thru looking at the pictures saw more than a few Parker doubles and SBT’s . Also saw a few Remington 32’s !

Only plain barrels were offered for the Remington Autoloading Shotgun in the 1905-06, both 1906 and the 1907 Remington Arms Co. catalogs. In the 1908 Remington Arms Co. the option of a solid rib for a list price of $7 extra was introduced. In the 1910 catalog the price of the solid rib was dropped to a list price of $6.75 and a ventilated rib was introduced for a list price of $13 extra.

I have never seen a vent rib with the wide spacing of the rib supports shown in the 1910 catalog.

By the 1911-1912 Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. catalog in which they began calling this John M. Browning designed gun the Model No. 11, the rib supports are shown much closer together.

That is how they remained for the rest of production. Here in the 1923 Remington Arms Co., Inc, catalog.

Default Early Vent Rib

"I have never seen a vent rib with the wide spacing of the rib supports shown in the 1910 catalog." - Dave Noreen

Great eye for detail Dave, I had never picked up on that though I have looked at it many times.

I have the earliest Vent Rib that I have run across on a RAS No. 3 (Trap Grade) SN 99,258 which puts it at the end of 1910 production by Jim Tipton's tabulations.

It has the same alternating cuts side to side as the later guns. It may have been there earliest attempts at the vent that did not have the alternating more supported milling.

Probably didn't take long for one to fall in a duck blind somewhere and break a section out like Vic Render's 31!

Or it could have been artistic license to highlight the ventilation early on by some slick Remington Advertising Manager! Lol

Back on Task CL!

Nice example of a vent rib Model 11. "The Remington Arms Union Metallic Ctg. Co., Inc." was the company name from mid-1916 to August 1920, when it became Remington Arms Co., Inc.

Thank you sir ! I got it on GB and to be honest the metal looked a good deal better in person than in the sellers pictures . Wood has plenty bruises etc but overall I believe it to be in rather good mechanical shape .
