remington mode 11 fiber recoil pad
a few weeks back i bought an old remington model 11 semi auto and was told there needs to be a pad in the back of the reciver to cusion the bolt upon firing or the action will damage itself my question is how do i tell if its still there all i found in the process of cleaning out the old gummy oil was a red pad and am not sure if this is the bolt recoil pad mentioned ...also if anybody knows if this is common among model 11s my safety on it is quite stiff and worries me a bit for a hunting scenario with gloves...any help appreciated

THE FIBER 'BUMPER' REFERED TO IS IN THE BACK OF THE RECEIVER, WITH THE BOLT FORWARD (CLOSED/READY TO FIRE) YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT WITH THE HELP OF A SMALL FLASHLIGHT. IT IS HELD IN PLACE BY A HOLLOW 'RIVET'. GUNPARTSCORP. HAD REPLACEMENTS. 0 -

ok so its sounding like i probably need a new pad bumper0 -
here is what to look for, the fiber 'bumper' is at the rear of the receiver, visable through the slot for the operating handle.

ok cause when i got mine down and got the trigger group out all i saw was a red pad where the bumper should be 0 -
Your red pad sounds like someone tried substituting something else in place of the fiber cushion. The correct cushion would look like a piece of fiber brake shoe lining.
The problem with your safety may be crud buildup or lite corrosion in the safety. Disassembly and a good cleaning will likely free it up.0 -

ah thats the thing i broke this shotgun down as far as i could without getting a gunsmith involved including the trigger group i put a good amount of hoppes throug the trigger group scrubbed it with my usual gun care tooth brush and oiled it with my usual rem oil and it was still stiffer then a sonuvabitch could it be the spring that fires the hammer rests on the safety?0 -
In the diagram, items 52-53-54 are the safety sear spring plunger, spring and safety sear.

If you didn't remove/clean it, there may be crud in there. Could be the spring has been distorted by someone in the past. May also be gunk on/around the safety sear itself.
Watch that spring durring teardown, it'll take off like a missile if you don't keep it trapped. I usually punch the pin and then hold the trigger plate inside the leg of a pair of jeans to remove the punch.
If you're not comfortable tearing it down use a can of brake cleaner and compressed air to clean it as best you can. You can also oil it with compressed air. Just over oil it and blow out the excess. This will also drive oil into the little nooks and cranies you can't reach with a tooth brush.
If you don't have access to a compressor a can of compressed air like used to clean cameras and computers will work.0 -

Right fine suggestion Jim.
I didn't think, til just now, to ask you Mossberg. Which safety does your gun have?
Side button behind the trigger, or the slide type inside the trigger bow?0
