- During World War Two Remington supplied a large number of Model 11 semi-auto shotguns to the US Military. These were typically issued to non-front line forces. Military Police, truck drivers, occupation forces, ect.
Much later the majority of these were sold as surplus and/or sold by way of DCM.

I have my grandfather's model 11 20gauge and it still shoots great with no issues. It was made in 1946.
You should do a video with it sometime.
как у курта Кобейна
as a grunge musician once said "well i swear that i don't have a gun"
(if you get it then you get it)
Guess I don`t get it. :-)
@@1957Shep. Hello Shep. I’m late to your video 4th party, but I appreciate the tour of your gun!
Mou23 was referring to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana fame, who ironically took his own life with a shotgun.
I’ve got my late Dad’s Model 11, with an 11-A barrel. It’s got a checked fore grip, but has a USN cartouched smooth stock. It’s a long barrel 1914 I believe.
I’m going to get replacement furniture for it so as to not destroy my Dad’s original parts. Your fore grip is a looker, as is the whole gun.
Stay safe my friend!
Best Regards,
Shawn
Любимая винтовка Курта Кобейна.
This guy is wholesome, deserved a sub 👍
Welcome.
Very Nice. I do have a standard Model 11 that was my uncle's and still shoots very well. Good video!
Thanks
I bought a model 11 from a gun show a few years back and crazy story to this is I took the butt plate off and inside the stock it has a 1947 Illinois duck hunting license inside the stock. I thought that was so neat and gave the gun a story. Mine was a very early model in great shape I used it duck hunting many times
Guess that`s one way to be sure you always have your license with you. :-)
That's awesome. I think I'll do the same with mine for someone in the future to discover.
Cool shotgun and share....Happy and safe 4th of July....Good stuff....
Thanks.
My grandpa traded his motorcycle for one! It's my favorite! Humpback eagle mark and dead accurate! Have the model they used on aircraft carrier ships! Integrated choke original! And a compartment in the buttstock! And the paperwork!!
You should do a video with it sometime.
@@1957Shep I have a few I'll see if I can find them
My grandfather has one of these; I looked up on the serial number chart and it was manufactured 1927-1948; though being in the 40000X range it was most likely during the 30’s. Though my grandfather was born during the 40’s I don’t think the gun saw much action…But I like to think he used it during his time in the USMC.
You should do a video with it sometime.
First off, nice shotgun. The model 11 was also used by the mil with longer "sporting style" barrels with Cutts compensators. These were utilized for shooting clay pigeons in anti-aircraft training to teach the principles of leading aircraft to flak gunners and such. Some versions of the model 11 have the safety inside of the trigger guard, right in front of the trigger (a real safety issue).
Thanks.
My model 11 from 1916 has got that suicide saftey
@@MrJerry160 so does mine from 1913, i think they dropped them in the early 20's
I have my wife grandpa's model 11 . He was a gunners mate in WW1
Also used for gunnery school training in the AAF
Thanks
Happy Independence Day, Shep !! Thanks for the video !!

@@1957Shep friend of mine Afghanistan war veteran has a military issue Remington Model 11 it's coming my way all original very good condition thanks for your video be safe be well peace out from the Left Coast
I have one made in 1920. Still shoots fine.
You should do a video with it sometime.
Great shotgun thanks for showing
Thanks.
They were used to train aerial gunners, like defensive gunners on bomber aircraft… and no , I’m not going to make a video about it.
Thanks
Esta escopeta es copia de la browning auto 5?
I have hunted all types of birds with an auto 5 and its a cool looking and good shooting gun. But I like my 1100 a little better. Thats a good lookin model 11 friend.
For a shooter I like the 1100 a lot better. But I`ve had my 1100 for 42 years. That makes me pretty bias.
1957Shep had mine since 1975
Bonnie used a 20 gauge. Close liked his 30 06 full auto rifle.
Have a longer barrel version with a choke US markings used by the USAAF for gunner practice clay shooting.
You should do a video with it sometime.
Ótima pra proteçao residencial!
Noice also happy 4th of july
Thanks.
Trench gun very reliable mine came with a poly choke
You should do a video with it sometime.

Thanks.
No, no, no……the FIRST thing you’re going to do is get someone to run the camera !!!!
That was fun...I like it....
Thanks.
Nice Shotgun...
Thanks.
Load up on guns, bring your friends, it's fun to lose, and to pretend...(smells like teen's spirit, kurt cobain)
Too cool
Thanks.
Nice shotgat :-)
Thanks.
Can you shoot slugs thru these guns? Thanks.
Using slugs in shotguns depends on what type of choke that particular gun barrel has and what type of slug you intend to use. Ideally, you should only use slugs in guns that have a Cylinder bore (C) choke or Improved Cylinder (I/C) choke. You can probably get away with firing slugs in guns with tighter chokes, but I really don`t recommend it.
I’m interested to see if it shoots high. Didn’t they have a block between the barrel and sight? Nice gun.
Had no sights on it when I bought it. Seems to hit pretty close to point of aim just looking down the barrel. Have not shot it again since I got the bead on it.
I believe all of the Model 11 shotguns ordered by the military had standard (approx 24-28”) length barrels and a Cutts Compensator. This is why you see so many with the barrels cut. I think most assume the comp was added later. No “riot” model 11’s were purchased as far as my research shows. These were used as aerial training, and were often attached to a device to be fired like aircraft guns. Not a lot on the internet, but you should be able to find a photo of them set up for aerial trainer firing.
A mesma q matou kurt cobain
Haha Haha nice joke
I’m late for this video and in need of a little help but I found a model 11 for 200$ the blueing is a little wore but the stock looks to be refinished and no cracks would this be a good buy and what red flags should I look for when looking it over?
That`s probably about average price for a basic model 11 in the condition you describe. Almost anything that will go bang will bring $150-$200. And model 11 Remingtons are very good quality guns. They are basically a Browning A5 that can be had for less than half the price of a Browning.
Things to watch out for. Make sure the action cycles smoothly. Make sure the loading gate is not bent.
Other things that are not easy to check without firing are the magazine spring and the gas system. But if there is anything wrong with either, it`s likely an easy and cheap fix. A mag spring can be replaced for a few dollars. If there is a problem with the gas system, it likely just needs a good cleaning.
@@1957Shep ok thank you for your help I will take a look at it
@@roosterwells140 Something I forgot. Some of the oldest model 11s might be chambered for 2 5/8th inch shells instead of 2 3/4 inch.
whens your next video i liked this one?
Have 2 more uploaded. One will go live on the 7th, the other on the 11th. More shotgun videos. A Rossi double and a Ithaca 37.
Las mejores escopetas son las europeas ,beretta ,benelli, breda,etc... las estado unidenses son hierros malos
Hey Shep, how long is that barrel?
About 19 inch.
@@1957Shep Wow, that's cool! Thanks!
At 1st glance I thought it was an A5
For all practical purposes, it is a Browning Auto-5.
It pretty much is. Remington was building them under license.
Respectfully, these specific shotguns, along Winchester M 1897 and Ithaca 37 WERE Frontline Weapons to very efficiently KILL Japanese in the Pacific and Burma! THEN the British put them to FRONTLINE work during early 1950s in Malaya Killing Communists with SUPERIOR EFFECT!
Not that not hunting
Wasn`t intended for hunting
Common as dirt? Not where I live.
Last time I was at the local gun shop they had two model 11 Remingtons on the rack.
@@1957Shep How rare is the 16ga version with the three ducks? love mine been in the family since 1933!
This is the shotgun model with which Kurt Cobain allegedly shot himself.
Knowing from experience the length of that shotgun, do you think it's possible for someone to shoot himself in the mouth with it?
No idea who Kurt Corbain is, or was. But yes, it could be done. People have been known to commit suicide with long barreled shotguns as well. Generally using a stick or something like that to depress the trigger.
@@1957Shep Ah. Thanks. Kurt was the singer and guitarist for Nirvana. He was married to Courtney Love. Allegedly killed himself in 1994 at the age of 27.
🙂🧨👍
Thanks.
