I picked up a Remington Semi Auto shotgun
It looks like a model 11, but has no engraving and does not say Model 11 on it anywhere. The only marking I can find on the frame at all is the serial number near where the barrel attaches and a Remington stamp on the top tang.
It has the safety inside the trigger guard, which should mean it's pre model 11. But it has a retaining screw which from what I read wasn't added until the the later model 11's.
It doesn't have the fiber cushion in the action, but does have a little post where it should be. (another clue that it is a model 11, not a pre model 11?????)
It has a 28" full choked barrel with a solid rib.
Serial number is 120180 it is on both the action and the barrel. Date code on the barrel is KX3. (which if I understand the date codes correctly is 1929)
Gun has obviously been refinished and restocked (poorly).
I didn't pay much for it and I bought it as a shooter/project gun. From what I've seen of prices if I sell the barrel I'll get my money back.
I'm thinking it may be a parts gun someone threw together since it's combination of features makes no sense to me.

Right now my plan is to order a new set of springs, fiber recoil buffer, and friction rings, then strip it down, clean it well and shoot it.
