Model 11 with 32 inch barrel

Post by JVJOE1968 »

I was just looking at some of my shotguns the other day and noticed that my model 11 had a longer barrel. Did they make a 32 inch barrel for the Model 11? It is full choke. My Model 11 is from 1929. Thanks for any input this group might have.

If you HAVE one, then they obviously made them.
Actually, if you find some of the old advertising pictures posted on the forum, you'll see that there were lots of shotguns in various models made with 32 inch barrels. Many for waterfowl hunting and many for trap shooting.
Sometimes there were extra charges for barrels longer than "standard".

From the introduction of the Remington Autoloading Shotgun by Remington Arms Co. in 1905, through Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co, to the last catalog of The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., Inc. in 1920, barrel lengths were 26- or 28-inch plus the 20-inch Riot barrel. In the first Remington Arms Co., Inc. catalog 1920/21 they added the 30-inch barrel. The 1923 catalog again lists only 26- and 28-inch, but their pump guns, both the 12-gauge Model 10 and the 20-gauge Model 17 are offered with 26-, 28-, 30- and 32-inch barrels?!? Finally the 1929 catalog lists 26-, 28-, 30- and 32-inch barrels for the Model 11 and also the new cross-bolt safety.

Thanks for all the information. It is a fun gun to shoot and will be handed down to my son some day.
