![]() Shortly I will tell you how to visually determine which model you have. The Remington Autoloading Shotgun became the Model 11 in the year 1911. If 1909-1910 is correct, you may have one of the very last Remington Autoloading Shotguns made in 1910, sometimes nicknamed a pre-Model 11. Browning screw thread pitch is SAE/Imperial/inch fractional. The most major difference in the 2 is that of threaded fasteners.įN Browning screw thread pitch is Metric. Put Browning springs in it, far far easier to lay hands on that Remington springs. Thus they are not "interchageable", quite, but it IS POSSIBLE, that, even with a machinist cost, a Remington barrel MIGHT have been cheaper to replace a damaged FN barrel whenever it was done. Then, IIRC the 1980's, they wholesale changed the S/N sequence yet again, creating a real YUUUUUUUGE!!! mess.ĭue to the extractors, a machinist is needed to cut a groove in the inner side of a Remington barrel to put it on a Browning, whereas a Browning barrel will fit on a Remington Model 11 just fine (as long as the manufacturing tolerances are not excessively tight someplace). When the Magnum 12 came along, another letter came in. They were "G" and "M" IIRC, later "G" and "H" IIRC. Standard Remingtons only ever had numbers (Model 11 production ended in 1947/8 anyhow, replaced by the 11-48).īrownings only GREW letters in (IIRC) the 1950's (not looking it up just now), to separate the new "light" 12 from the "standard" weight gun. Yes, ONLY the American Brownings (the 1940's production by Remington which went out marked as Browning Auto-5) had letter-prefixed serial numbers, the letters denoted 12, 16, or 20-gauge.Īlso, ONLY the American Brownings produced by Remington during the war had the "receiver-side" serial numbers. cut-off, you had to buy the 'premium' Browning, if you were OK without it, you could buy the others. John withheld that part from the licensing agreements to Remington and Savage for his own guns. ![]() Yes, ONLY Browning used the Magazine Cutoff, Ste. I retrofitted the 1950's Speed Feed into that Model 11 with zero issues whatsoever 3 yrs or so ago. The absolute receiver length on mine is not quite equal either, the 11 is around 1/2" longer, from receiver humpback to receiver front face, than the A5, no idea why. The receiver "fingers" that the buttstock mates to are not the same length on the 2, I THINK the Remington's are longer, but I could have that backwards (only compared them once, and not recently). I have both an FN Light 12 and a 1920's Model 11. He said that there may be some minor timing issues with one of the shell stops. Just to stir the pot, as Arizona gunsmith Big Az Al explained in Remington Model 11 / Browning Auto 5 differences?, a Remington 11 barrel and its Remington 11 bolt and parts will assemble with a Browning Auto 5 minus its Auto 5 barrel and minus its Auto 5 bolt and parts, no milling required. if your gun does have a magazine cutoff, then it is a Browning Auto 5. ![]() If your gun does not have a magazine cutoff, then it is a Remington 11. As I read your mind, why would someone make a Frankengun and keep it in the family for years, yet the serial numbers all match? Sure sounds unlikely to me also. ![]() I believe that the first impression of Rudolph31 was correct, that your gun is a Remington 11. Even though the gun has been in your family for years and even though you and others have called it a Browning Auto 5, you now wonder if it is a Remington 11. Click to expand.You definitely have a Remington 11 barrel. ![]()
