Remington Mod 11 12Ga Stock refinish
I have had this Remington Model 11, 12Ga for a couple years. It was made in 1911. It is not really collectable grade, so I decided to refinish the stock. Just wanted to share the outcome. Thanks for looking.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've been wanting an Auto-5 derivative for some time... but most I see either have cracked wood or those adjustable choke eye sores on the end.
Looks nice.

Those PolyChokes truly are awful looking. They work though, and the guys in the 50s and 60s really liked them.Screwball wrote:I've been wanting an Auto-5 derivative for some time... but most I see either have cracked wood or those adjustable choke eye sores on the end.

Nice work, it really shows off the grain of the wood!

Looks good! I might be re-finishing the stock on my Dads old Ithaca model 49 saddle gun... Previous owner started to sand the stock & left it half @$$.

That looks good. Is that a Tru Oil finish or a hand rubbed oil of some type?

Re: Remington Mod 11 12Ga Stock refinish
Glad you didn't give it the 80's thick poly gloss finish. Never really liked that, except on Trap guns.

Did you by chance replace any springs or action parts? Do the Remington 11 actions hold up over time?
Re: Remington Mod 11 12Ga Stock refinish
That's an excellent refinish! Damn nice job!!!

Re: Remington Mod 11 12Ga Stock refinish
Too bad, RazorBurn, I resurrected the thread despite your thread killing skills......
I picked up a Savage A-5 clone, (mechanically, it has a 'hump' instead of squareback) a Stevens 755A, for very little. It has some cracks in the stock (buttstock) behind the hump, so I will address that, then refinish.
