30, 1919?!?ħ6033X Side - After WW-II, probably 1947.įor the guns made after 1921, you can look for a two- or three-letter date code on the left side of the barrel, usually between the front edge of the receiver and the choke marking. The factory ledger gives 199611 as the high number on Sept. It gives by month, the highest serial number receiver put into production, but doesn't tell when the gun was actually finished or when it was actually shipped/sold.ġ9705X Bottom - 1917 from James Tipton's list. His list is the best we have for the early guns, but on the Remington Society's web site is the old factory ledger from between the wars. web site, but unfortunately I didn't print off a copy.
He actually improved the list for a later version of the article that was on the Remington Arms Co. There is an extrapolated serial number list in James Tipton's article on these guns that appeared in the 2nd Quarter 2000 issue of the RSA's magazine. That particular Wiki article needs to be edited bad, but I don't know how. So Bruce was using the resources he had, and they were definitely mis-leading.
But I just can't bear to cut up my Mdl 11. I actually saw it somewhere, I don't remember if it was the Texas Ranger Museum or the Cody Museum (or somewhere else, I get around) and have always wanted to make one. The shotgun in the photo is well documented, a 20 gauge Model 11 made to look like Clyde's "Whippet" BAR. Savage also produced an A-5 copy, the Model 720, starting in 1930. From 1940 through 1947 Remington produced both models in the same production facility, the Model 11 without the magazine cutoff, and the A-5 with the magazine cutoff. When the Nazis over ran the FN plant in Belgium in 1940, Browning licensed Remington to continue production of the Browning Auto-5 along side their already produced Model 11. Remington Model 11 production began in 1905, and continued until 1947. I went to the Wiki article that Bruce was using and it is very poorly written.
