However, as pointed out by sighthound his 5xx gun would put us back at 1 or maybe 100. He personally owns number 2980 and I have 2603 so that would lead us to believe possibly 1,000 as a start according to the records. Tipton believes that the 10,000 number that was given in the records is not correct. Tipton took part, did the best they could with the material available. The Remington Historical reasearch group, of which Mr. His name is Jim Tipton and the information that was presented was the best information known at that time (2000). I know the author of the Model 11 article that most people are familiar with. I have been bitten, although by the Model 11 bug, pretty badly. Trying to learn a little about Model 8 and Remington Autoloading Rifles. I have a military marked 1943 Trap/Skeet trainer 12 gauge that has 1905 very high grade special wood possibly originally intended for an engraved piece. Perhaps some discrepences could be accounted for by cleanup production after 1948 and some by WWII production where likely all parts in storage were used, The S prefix was not used on many Sportsman and I have two with 4 digit numbers one with S and one without, also guns in and out of listed ranges. Total production of all model 11/sportsman guns is listed as 837,328 and model 11 configured as Browning 63,700. This list states: Beginning year Beginning number Ending year Ending number Total production However, it obviously is not complete and contradictory in places.įor example states starting number of pre 11 is either 1000 or 10,000, as mentioned before I have # 554, your 16 ga # is above number listed, could be from cleanup production after 1948. 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.
