Information I have came from Remington web page written by an advanced collector in Texas with source listed as Sam M Alvis, Manager Ilon Research Division. I wish I had knowledge of complete and reliable information on Remington pre 11, 11s and Sportsman models. Typo on my first post, should read 1905 has remington and Browning patent info on left side of receiver, later on barrel and nothing on receiver. Great arms for sportsmen, too bad changing economy, drove production cost out of ability to compete, sportsmen are denied the quality these had,

A, B, C, R, S plus engraved D, E, F, G grades for the affulent, 2 different roll engraving patterns on A and S, early with three birds on each side, later only one bird per side of receiver. There are many variations for collectors from the 1905-1910 pre 11s and 1911 to 1948 model 11s.

All have the suiscide saftey which Remington used until 1928. 1906 models have Remington info and Browning patent info on left side of receiver while 1906 and later have this on top of barrel. I have #1 Standard grade #554, have both plain and grooved forends, butt plates came in several types, REMINGTON at top with curved lettering and AUTOMATIC at bottom, REMINGTON and UMC below in a circle, several styles of this one different sizes of letters, another has REMINGTON at top and curved ARMS CO below, the Trap grade I have has a plain cross grooved worm holed horn butt plate. Your gun appears to be the Standard grade, confusion exists on starting serial numbers, some say 1000, others 10,000 and some 1. After Browning rejected Winchesters offer and upheaval at Remington, Browning contacted FN and reached agreement for FN A5s, later because of high US import tariffs, agreement was changed to allow Remington 11 production for US market and Remington began production of its new Autoloading Shotgun in 1905 which was produced in four models, #1 Standard grade, #2 Special grade, #3 Trap grade an #0 Riot grade. Yes, the 11s are great also, I evolved from using my fathers 11 to 8s, pre 11s have interesting history, FN A5s likely would never happened if Remingtons CEO had not died suddenly while Browning was waiting to discuss his new automatic shotgun. Browning was on board at Remington when it went through the line? Oddly, the old shotguns do not have the assembler's and fitter's marks like the Model 8.

Must have been the style of furniture back then.ĭoes anyone have any information on the early serial numbers on these? As best I can figure from the information I have obtained, this is a first year of manufacture with a 4 digit S/N 9489(1905). Yes, I will shoot it.ĭid you notice? It has "Cheeks". Buttplate in amazingly good condition and serial numbered to the gun. Glued all the spits and cracks in the forearm. The gun is now clean, lubricated and in very good mechanical condition. Well, if you are that far, just completely disassemble, clean and put it back together. If you have ever replaced the firing pin in one of these, you know it takes taking out nearly every scew and pin in the gun. Lots of cleaning and lubricating before re-assembly. It was a dirty gun that I think had not been disassembled since birth. As a collector of these, I had a replacement firing pin and a repo correct buttplate that only needed sanding to fit. It had a broken firing pin and an incorrect buttplate. This old shotgun is in excellent condition to be 106 years old. So, I guess the Remington Self Loading rifle was a pre Model 8 until 1911 also.

The price was right and the shipping cheap. Yeah, this was the Humpback I loved first.
