Model 11 Shotgun
Model 11 Shotgun
I am attempting to determine the manufacture date and any additional information such as grade/type on a Model 11. The serial number is 390722. The codes stamped on the barrel are BFX. BF would seem to indicate January of 1937 manufacture date, but I can’t find anything regarding the X. The barrel is modified and there appears to be a C stamped on the barrel adjacent to the receiver. There is a duck scene on one side and pheasant on the other. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone my provide!

Re: Model 11 Shotgun
The receiver with serial number 390722 was put in work during 1936. That is right in the time frame when Remington started putting the roll-stamped birds on the sides of the Model 11A, B & C receivers, though they still pictured the plain receiver in the 1936 & 7 catalogs --
and first showed the roll-stamped bird in the January 3, 1938, catalog --

Re: Model 11 Shotgun
Please excuse my comment if it's inappropriate. But... after reading the date on a much older serial I had to inquire. 13,306 were made between serial numbers
I was mistaken on guesstimating this shotgun was a 1935 model... Perhaps the researcher can nail it down to a better date.
I am considering rebluing since there are many of these out there... and mine isn't necessarily a coveted model.
It has a 30" full plain barrel that has a slight ding in one spot. Doesn't appear on the inside. Bore isn't shiny, But serviceable
Am looking for a Vent Rib 28"

Re: Model 11 Shotgun
That receiver was put in work during May 1938.
An original vent rib barrel is going to be a tough one to find. Remington Model 11/The Sportsman barrels may require fitting.

Bought one on eBay this morning.
Hopefully this will just slide in.

Re: Model 11 Shotgun
No fitting required for this one. A 26" Skeet Factory Barrel...
Test firing tomorrow... Looks like a winner.
