Remington Model 11
I have a Rem. M11 that has a 28" cyl. bore. Is this factory?
It is a 28" solid rib barrel, and is marked CYL underneath
the barrel, right in front of the extension.

I have a Model 11 Remington marked with "Property U.S.Navy"
that needs a barrel with the CUTTS Compensator. Is their a difference between the Model 11 and the "SPORTSMAN" barrels?
Thanx for help..... I know squat about shotguns and want to acquire a "correct" barrel with Cutts for this WWII veteran

The date of manufacture of most Remington firearms can be determined by a date code on the barrel just forward of the receiver. It will be something like E N or D K. Follow the link to a site that gives the codes for the year and month. First letter indicates month and second letter or letters indicates year.

Early model 11's didn't have the model or makers name on the receiver. It is a Remington model ll in all probability.
There is not a lot of value in the gun you describe. I would say $150. Buttplates can be found but the best option might be to install a recoil pad.0 -
The Experts will advise shortly, but check the barrels serial #. It's under the barrel and behind the ring that slips over the magazine tube. If it matches the serial # on the receiver you have a more collectible gun than one that is mismatched. 0 -
It looks as though Numrich has the butt plate. Both take-off and aftermarket. Scroll down to item #73.

You definitely need to verify that the barrel number matches the receiver number. Many of the barrels were swapped around and without a numbers matching barrel a DOM search would be useless. It would only tell you when the barrel was made. You can further verify numbers match by removing the butt stock. 11's of that vintage also have the ser# struck on the side of the lower tang.
Yes, Remington did manufacture this Type for one other brand name. Those, however, are all marked Browning. Remington made the Browning A5 during the war years while Belgium was occupied by the Germans.
As a side note, and I mention this to all who have aquired their forst M11. You need to determine whether or not the recoil cushion is in it and if it is what condition it is in. If the cushion isn't there there is risk of cracking the receiver when it is fired.
The cushion is located in the rear of the receiver behind the bolt and looks like a peice of brake shoe lining with a rivet in the middle of it.0 -
Barrel number matches that under the receiver. Remington Autoloading Shotgun pretty much the same?
Would the correct butt plate be black or brown?0 -
It will be light & dark brown. I got one from The Gun Garage in Siloam Springs. 479-524-2038 0
