Remington model 11 ?s
My first question was is when this gun was made the serial number is 95795 and the other question is this gun safe to shoot and what shells would you use. Thanks David

2 and 3/4 inch shells made almost same design as Browning model A 5 but parts do not interchange. Is it safe to shoot only a Hands on inspection can tell you that. 0 -
I have taken the gun apart and cleaned it. As far as that goes the gun is ok. I was just wondering about the materials of the barrel compared to shells of today. I figured it would be cool to take it dove season next year if i am able. 0 -
Any idea when it was made? 0 -
Follow this link to the barrel date codes that tell when a Remington firearm was made.

I know of no chart that gives the date of manufacture by serial number.0 -
For the DOM there will be a date code on the left side of the barrel just ahead of the receiver. This will only be valid if the serial number on the barrel lug (mag tube ring) matches the receiver number.
As for strength of the steel, any 2 3/4" lead shot load will be safe.
These guns are just as robust as the Browning A5.
Just as with the A5, the friction peice and ring is used to adjust for light or heavy loads.
When you had it apart, did you notice if the fiber recoil cushion was present in the rear of the receiver? It will be located directly behind the bolt. Firing it without the cushion in place can result in a cracked receiver, and possible injury to the shooter.
The cushion can be checked by removing just the trigger plate assembly. You want to make sure it is not excessively mushroomed, flaking or cracked. Cracks around the rivet are cause to replace it.0 -
the code on the left side of the barrel is cyi or cyl. I will take the gun back apart and look at what you were talking about. I just took it apart and put it back together again and did not notice. I have never heard about the cushion you were talking about. My brother in law gave me 2 guns that were his grandfathers because he does not believe in guns. Thanks for the help Cowboy. 0 -
I believe that is your choke Dave.
The date code should start with one of these.
B, L, A, C, K, P, O, W, D, E, R or X.
One of those will be for the Month of manufacture.

c&p didn't work as I expected, but you can get the jist.
I trimmed some of those off for brevity.0 -
On the other side of the barrel in the same place just in the front of the forearm is rp so i guess November of 1923. Thanks for your help. 0 -
I've got a Remington much older than that and it is a GREAT shooter. That long recoil action absorbs the kick very nicely and the smooth fast action can put 4 shells downrange before the first casing hits the ground. I read somewhere that Browning is going to bring back the A5. Good decision. [:D] 0
