Wanted: Semi auto 16 gauge

The model 11 was produced by Remington under a license from John Browning, who had licensed it to FN in Belgium. Browning did not buy the patent from Remington.

Oh yeah, that's right. John Browning design. Real early, Like 1900 or something??
 
If you have to shoot steel, just save the money for a new Browning A5. Now, I may go against the grain here for some, but if you do, try to find the stalker model. Its all black. The camo ones are nice but Browning had some issues with the stocks and foreends on some of their camo guns getting sticky and they had to replace them. The stalker model can be found cheaper than the camo version anyway. Or you can buy and wood one and modify it if you need it.

These modern 16 gauge are not the same as the ones made in the 50s. They are not as well made, and the wood isn't as good, or the steel.

I kinda agree. This C.N.C. jazz is a double-edged sword. Fit and finish is very good sometimes perfect. The weight is usually less. Screw in chokes make them a lot more versatile. And they are a lot cheaper. But they just don't touch a guy like a turn of the century to pre 64's do.
 
I have a TriStar Viper G2 Bronze in 20 guage. Shot it a lot. Lifetime warranty from Buds. I’ve almost bought a 28 multiple times, just too many other shiny distractions. At $600 a few years ago I felt it was a deal. At close to $900 today, maybe not so much. But then, an A400 or SBE3 is pushing $2000.
 
Those are a thing of beauty. Love mine except I can’t shoot a pump worth a darn. I guess I get excited in the heat of the moment and can’t remember to pump in a new shell. Its funny and frustrating all at the same time.
 
Screwed up and didn't get the other pic to post this morning, its a 1939 manufactured 37. 28" modified choke. In 2 days I hope to be shooting brids with it in South Dakota. Then bought a couple boxes of bismuth to take it to Texas for ducks over Christmas.

Yeah, my 12 serial # 722 has the same forearm. That's why I thought it was pretty old, maybe pre corncob.

Very nice shotgun. I have one with the corncob foreend. I was at a local gunshow just before I bought it and a guy had a newer one with an english stock and vent rib barrel. He wanted $650 for it and I couldn’t get him to come down on the price. I asked if he would be there the next day and he said yes. I had decided I was going to get it the next day even if he didn’t come down off the price. He never showed up. His booth was closed all day. There’s one just like it on gunbroker right now asking $3200 for it. They will never get it but that’s the ask. I saw a sign on a table at a recent gun show that said, “Prices are the wife’s idea. I don’t really want to sell them.” His prices were high so I don’t really think he did want to sell but he could tell his wife he tried.

I ended up paying $600 for mine. Wish I had both now.
