Picked one up yesterday. It was on my wish list for a while but could never find one in 20 gauge. Sorry I don’t know how to post pics. This particular one was made in July of 1930 and is in good shape.
Anyone else have one? Stories?
Feel free to post pics of yours.

My dad still shoots a model 11 12 gauge. It was my grandpa's, we have the box end from when he bought it. 15 bucks.

I've got a Model 11 16ga. sitting in the closet. It was given to me by someone in my family but holds no sentimental value to me or them. I'll likely never shoot it. My kids can do with it what they will when that time comes.

Tough old guns man. The 20's are pretty rare imthink.

No, not at the moment. I've sold one gun in my life, and I won't make that mistake again. I'd give it away before I sold it, but I'm not in the giving mood at the moment.

Haha, fair enough. That is a fantastic gun and I'd like a 16 that I don't have quite the sentimental attachment to.

Looks like the Auto-5? Whats the story with model 11 then?

Browning licensed the Auto-5 design to Remington who produced it as the Model 11. It has a few differences from the Auto-5 but for the most part looks the same. The model 11 doesn't have the magazine cutoff, speedload feature, and the extractors are different.
They are great guns, kind of a budget model of the Auto-5.

Thank you for that. Always good to have some tid bits of information to spread around!

There was also the Model 720 which was manufactured by Savage. It's an even more simplified version of the Auto-5/Model 11.

I have a 720. It's a beast.

Mine is a full choke. I know steel shot is a no go on these pre 1950 guns. Any other shot options I should stay away from.

Pretty much any soft shot is ok. Alot of people shoot steel in theirs but don't go any larger than #4's. I won't do it.
I still duck hunt with mine from time to time but I use Rio Bismuth when I do. It's a little pricey but it hits hard.

Have a 12 gauge that is a Model 11 that was my fathers. Wish I could find a 20 gauge as well with full choke.

John Browning presented his design to Winchester, where he had sold most of his previous designs. When Winchester refused his terms, Browning went to Remington. However, the president of Remington died of a heart attack as Browning waited to offer them the gun. This forced Browning to look overseas to produce the shotgun. It was manufactured by FN starting in 1902. Browning would later license the design to Remington, which produced it as their Model 11 (1905–1947).

It was said that this was his favorite design of all the firearms he created. Is it true? I don’t know, but it sounds good.
