The section on the various types of safeties was interesting, and the section on how to safely empty the magazine tube seems very useful. Thanks a lot for that.
Thank you. I recently picked up a Remington model 11 Sportsman off of consignment and was curious about the locked loading port and was wondering if there might be something wrong with me. Thank you for your demonstration and tips.
Great video. Well done and very helpful for anybody that needs to brush up on safe operation of an A5 or Rem 11. My favorite semi auto shotgun design. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
I use the B-Square set, their product #T0045. The bits marked CR-V 4-5/32 and CR-V 7-9/32 are thin enough. I think I got my set for $20 at some sporting-goods store.
On mine, the carrier will not stay raised and the button has to be held. I expect there were several slight changes in manufacturing over the years - mine is 1910 - and I've read reports of some people fitting an Auto-5 carrier to the M11 to allow speedloading.
Yes, though during reassembly the barrel has to be retracted further to allow the magazine cap to go over the barrel ring. See the full disassembly video here: ruclips.net/video/jkiGWd6ot84/видео.html rumble.com/vct967-basic-firearms-disassembly-5-remington-model-11-browning-auto-5.html
I just picked up a 1978 Auto-5 and i love it! incredibly accurate shotgun! but was wondering if you could post a complete disasembly video so I can learn how to clean the bolt/bolt carier and internals of the receiver .thanks for posting!
That is in the works, already scripted. I just need time and gumption to get it done. I have a high-def camera now too, so it should turn out better. Be aware there are small internal differences, such as one vs. two extractors and not much interchangeability between the real Browning and the Remington, but generally they should be close enough. Now that you've prodded me I might get it done in the next week or two. ;)
Very well done. Outstanding facts and tips, presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. As I watched your video, I was hoping that you might share your secret technique, if there is one, for uncocking the action without snapping the hammer. Thank you!
My understanding is "fitting" involves removal of metal somewhere. I had the impression, from what I read, that it wasn't much, and may not have required altering the receiver.
I don't know if you'll ever see this comment. I have a model 11 that I had to change the bolt on. It now tears short brass on the rounds either from the ejector of the bolt round holder (sorry don't know the name of the hook by the bolt handle. What can cause the short brass to be ripped from the ejector? Do you have any insight?
My first guess would be an incorrect arrangement of the recoil friction rings, allowing too much energy in the extraction cycle. I cover those parts in the disassembly video: ruclips.net/video/jkiGWd6ot84/видео.html Another thing to check is whether this happens with a particular brand or type of ammunition, but not with another. A third possibility is fouling or damage in the chamber making extraction difficult.
@@Jeffersonian1 it happens with AA short brass and some, but not all of Rem-Peter short brass. I'm beginning to think that it's the short brass and it's the extractor that is gouging the upper edge of the AA short brass and ripping it. This happens on dummy loads as well. My friction rings are set for light load. Thanks for replying .....didn't know if you would. Kudos! BTW....it never happens with long brass shells.
@@Jeffersonian1 Your videos are excellent.....very thorough and well presented....thanks. This old gun will hopefully be shooting for another 100 yrs with folks like you around.
@@Jeffersonian1 Thanks for your reply....it prompted me to dig out some long brass and load up some dummy loads (3 of them) to see if they had the same issue. Nope.....the long brass cycled flawlessly. I did determine that the gouge in the brass from the short brass was done by the ejector. I'm going to resize and dummy out another few short brass in a different make to see if there is just a particular brand of shell that causes this issue, as you mentioned above. Thanks so much for your input. Sometimes we just need another person to say, what about this to get us in the right direction. Kudos!!
Jeffersonian1...Great videos on the Model 11. Do you have a video on the trigger assembly. Need help, having a hard time with the 'safety sear' assembly as to getting the pin back in. Also, I know there is a 'trick' after screwing down the mainspring as to getting it all back in tension.
Robert Qualey Frankly I've avoided disassembling the trigger group, but there appear to be instructions in the Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly, Part V: Shotguns. Sorry I can't be more help!
Thanks, I got it. One last question. I decided to 'refinish' 1912, Model 11 and I am doing a mirror finish on the upper and trigger frame. This has been allot of work but it is looking really good. Question is, how to protect 'polished steel'? Not allot out there on the web regarding this. Got any 'lasting' ideas ?
Larry Kidd NOA 3" round *might* chamber and fire but would likely have excessive pressure and could damage a classic firearm. And why beat yourself up with the recoil anyway? There are plenty of effective home-defense loads in 2-3/4", including the old standby of nine OO buckshot.
+harrison guilliams On mine the serial number is on the bottom of the receiver, forward of the loading port, and repeated on the original barrel near its mounting ring. Brownings or Savages may have them in different places.
THANK YOU :D also could you recommend a screw driver to use? I cant seem to find one that fits well in the screw slots :/ its a great gun and now that I got one im never going to get rid of it haha thanks again!
I found a serial number chart for the M11 on a Remington forum. YT doesn't allow proper links in comments: tinyurl /bk8zyxt Looks like yours would be late 1921.
Extremely well done video very helpful thank you you should have millions of subscribers
The most Info I have seen anywhere on the model 11 !!!! Thank you Very Much!
Very informative video. Thank you
Learned something thanks bucko
Best Tutorial I've seen ever, and timely, to safely use my Rem11! THANK YOU!
Very thorough and useful. Clear and concise. Your video is the best out there that i have seen so far. Thank you.

Great video. I have one manufactured in 1906. It still works well.
thank you so much, i am very new to gun owning and your video on the Model 11 was very helpful!
Thank you for this knowledge
thanx for the informational video.

I would like to know how to date my Remington model 11 12 gauge Browning patent
hey, my bolt is not able to be pulled back, any recommendations?

Does the barrel supposed to be flush with receiver when assembled?
Yes, though during reassembly the barrel has to be retracted further to allow the magazine cap to go over the barrel ring. See the full disassembly video here:

Thank you for the very informative video.
Very helpful and informative, thank you very much!
How do you unload it?
Illustrated starting at 3:45.
How do i remove the plug to make my Remington model 11 hold more than total 3 shells?

Robert Qualey I'm afraid not. If you intend to leave it "in the white", I think the old method was oil and lots of elbow grease.
That's... not a bad idea. Theoretically the cap from a M870 or 1100 should also work.
Savage also made a Browning copy
THANKS!!!! that will help out a lot! I look forward to seeing more of your videos :D
Can i shoot a 3 in shell in my browing that says 2 3/4 ? im setting it up as a home defence wepon !!!

where do you find the serial number on a model 11 I have one I want to see when it was made

Looks like yours would be late 1921.
What's the serial number on yours?
It's in the 78,000 range.
Jeffersonian1 mine is serial number 384024 is there anyway of dating that for me?
Here's the chart I found:
www.remingtonsociety.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17069
Is there anyway you can look it up for me? Having trouble figuring out the charts
Just keep scrolling down, there's a better chart later in the thread.
@Jeffersonian 1 I say to you Long Live The Constitution of The United States Republic. Long Live The 2nd Amendment.
no forever live the second amendment
dude lost me when i saw all the "don't tread on me" bullshit. can we just love guns without being weird as fuck about it?!?
Your too slow - just get to your point! Ohhhhh ! You lost me👎🏻
