Remington mod 11 info needed

[archie1980]

Can anyone help me with the Remington model 11?? What is the deal with the barrel coming back with the action after firing?? I have one in 12 ga, and am wondering what price these guns go for(ball park), and are there many around? I know they are old...is that a good thing or bad thing?

All it is, is a Browning Auto 5.

The barrel recoils back to eject the shell.

Condition? Features? Perhaps $125 - $350.
Johm Browning designed the gun during the first decade of the 20th century, the Remington Model 11 is the authorized US made version, FN in Belgium made them as well. FN made ones were marketed in North America by Browning Arms.
The barrel moves because the gun uses the long recoil system. Barrel and bolt are carried back by the recoil, the bolt unlocks, the barrel returns foreward, the bolt is released, feeds a shell into the chamber, and locks.
