    I've also got a pre-1911 Remington Model 11 "Auto-Loading Shotgun." The wood on it is beautiful (pretty sure the handguard is a replacement though) and the blueing is in fantastic condition. And I got it for a screaming deal to boot. Love that shotgun.

    I have my Grandfathers, then Fathers Remington Model 11. From what I've been told by older family members, my Grandfather bought it brand new, back in 1935. My Dad took possession of it in 1971 (IIRC), after my Grandfather passed. I found out back in 1988 after I got out of the Army, that my Dad gave up hunting, and gave his 3 guns to my little brother. I asked him if he would sell it to me. He wouldn't. Yes, I was pissed to say the least! After my Dad passed in Sept. 2017, two months later, we went to Thanksgiving dinner at my brothers place. As we were leaving, my brother called for me to come back downstairs to the family room. I did. He reached into his gun safe, and handed me, the Model 11 and said, "Dad told me to give this to you after he died, and asked my brother to give it to me, after Dad passed. It is now my most prized firearm that I currently own. With the exception of a couple minor scratches in the finish of the stock,, everything else is in pristene condition! Like dang near brand spankin' new! My most favorite, easiest to aim, shotgun I own! Good video! Thank you.

    That's a fine old pre-Model 11 in good working condition. I'm always fascinated with videos of anyone hitting flying targets -- actual doves or clays. Hitting a flying target is such an instinctive Zen magic that for many of us cannot be taught or learned. Your eyes, brain, and hands must instantly and instinctively calculate speed, distance, angle, and lead . . . and if you try to do that consciously, you've missed the target or the bird already!

    You have a nice example there of a Remington Autoloading shotgun! I have a 1928 Model 11 in 12 ga. (30'' full choke, plain barrel) and a 1947 Sportsman 3-shot in 16 ga. (28'' full choke, plain barrel). These were great guns!

    Another great video Ivan, really loved the slow motion shot from the side. Years ago I saw a similar slow-mo on Forgotten Weapons, fell in love with long recoil and had to have one of these shotguns.
    You do a great job presenting these and I hope as you have time that you continue to make these videos. Really appreciated editor Ivan popping in to give proper credit to Remingtons role in the popularization of autoloading shotguns.

    Mine is a 1907 made Autoloader with a replacement barrel from about the late 50's and a new Numerichs friction ring as the one it had was broken and as a kid the gun was the worst feeling shooting shotgun on earth. You did a great job on the history Ivan there isn't much on these guns concidering Remmington carried the A5 to where it is today. The "Suicide" safety is weird but even as under 10 year old kids we never had a Negligent discharge with that safety its not the biggest deal as long as you make the user aware.

      Well, moreso that the brake system can be adjusted to account for the desired loads - most standard loads fall into "light" or "heavy" categories.

    Hey Ivan, curious if you'd know but do most of the Auto-5 copies have different magazine caps? I (think) I have one of the ones marked Browning but produced by Remington during the 40s, and I've been trying to find a sling swivel cap that will actually fit but the 3 I've bought so far are all just off on length or some little difference. Thanks for these videos by the way!

    • @IvanPrintsGuns
      @IvanPrintsGuns  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The Browning and Remington magazine caps are one of the parts that are different. I seem to recall it being possible to modify one to work with the other, but it required some machine work.

    "Of course this gun is choked full".
    Ahh! So, "Mohawk 48-11 guy" here again. I was told "older shotguns there were full chocked are very very choked, so don't shoot slugs or buckshot through them." What say you? My Mohawk is a 28" FULL Choke, and I've not shot buck or slugs through it due to that warning.

    • @IvanPrintsGuns
      @IvanPrintsGuns  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@OutsideTheTargetDemographic regardless of how old it is, the rule of thumb is anything tighter than modified shouldn't have slugs shot through it, and probably shouldn't have buckshot through it either. Old shotguns aren't tighter constriction, but they do typically have softer steel barrels (which is why you shouldn't shoot steel shot through them) - so the rule of thumb definitely applies to them when it comes to slugs and buck. You can find slug-specific or cylinder/skeet bore barrels for shooting slugs/buck safely from older shotguns. I've definitely seen spare 11-48 / 48 sportsman/ Mohawk 48 barrels around, even on ebay.

    please do the new A5 after the Auto 5 videos. I've seen some things about inertia being an advancement from the long recoil system, but I can't find any definitive info on where rotating bolt inertia shotguns come from. I know the Sjögren Inertia Shotgun was early, but it really seems to operate more like Garand's Primer-Activated action in the primer pressing the firing pin unlocks the bolt. I'm curious about the combination of inertia and a rotating bolt.

    • @IvanPrintsGuns
      @IvanPrintsGuns  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was Bruno Civolani, who studied under Sjrogren, that developed it. He designed what is today known as the Benelli inertia system on his own, tried to sell it to Beretta, Franchi, Breda, etc, and eventually was able to strike a deal where Benelli would sell the guns and Breda would make most/all of the parts. Most of this history was documented by a Mister Andreev, you can find translated snippets of his biography of Civolani with Google.

    I rebuilt one that had lawman on the barrel and it has a setting for high power shells or low power I think I set it on low power since I was going to shoot a low brass bird shot just to see how it would do it kicked so hard I put it up and never shot it again.

    Hey Ivan just checking out the spreadsheet, just out of curiosity what was the reason that the super-lightweight auto-5 had a slightly lower score than the regular and lightweight in terms of the Ease of Detail and Field Strip, did something change in that model?

    • @IvanPrintsGuns
      @IvanPrintsGuns  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You should be able to click on the cells and see notes - some SLWs don't have the hole to remove the pin holding the locking block latch. So you have to remove the shell stop, then have a custom semicircular punch to get the bolt out of the gun. Took me about 6 hours to make the tools I needed to do it without boogering anything up.

    model 11s are remarkably affordable as far as semi-auto shotguns go. I like the ones with the suicide safety as i'm left handed. mine doesn't like light recoil birdshot shells no matter what config i have it the friction rings in

    • @IvanPrintsGuns
      @IvanPrintsGuns  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Does yours have a polychoke/brake on it? If not, are you already using grease on the tube? You can definitely get it to cycle light loads. I've had guns with really stiff friction systems where taking the steel tension ring off the brass ring was needed to get it to cycle 7/8oz loads.

    • @TheKickassK
      @TheKickassK หลายเดือนก่อน

      @IvanPrintsGuns I do not have a choke/brake on it. I oiled it after purchasing it but I can give it a thorough greasing. I was using winchester AA low recoil/low noise shells. Normal birdshot ran flawlessly
      The magazine follower on mine also pushes too far forward after the gun is empty and rubs against the carrier latch/spring preventing the button that closes the bolt from working until the magazine follower is pushed back in the tube
