I know it isn't sxs, but..... Does anyone know if the 16 ga. M-11 was built on the 12 gauge frame or the 20 ga. Thanks.

The 16 was built on its own frame, closer to the 20 but a few thousandths off.

Instead of doing this one question at a time go to Steve'spages.com and look up the owners manual.

Shock buffer Mark? I have several A5's, no Remington 11's, but in looking at parts diagrams of each I see no buffer? Are you referring to a tube-type device in the stock? If so, I believe that is the main spring housing and looks to be the same in both guns? Help or more confusing??

It's a hard fiber buffer in the back of the receiver, held in by a rivet. I've been working on a 12 ga. that lost it and had the back left corner of the bolt broken off. Just trying to figure out why A-5's can get away with out having one.

I cannot give the answer as to why remingtons need the recoil pad and the Browings and Savages do not. It must be something different about the deaign that results in a damaged bolt in the remingtons and not in the others.
The pad is held in by a blind rivet that is pretty difficult to completely remove as to allow a new one to be installed the same way. I have seen a few receivers accidentally drilled through the back bu someone trying to remove it.
The few that i have had to do, i have chiseled the old rivet off flush, cleaned the area well and epoxied a new pad in place.

Mark II I have worked on a lot of Rem 11 many years ago, they were a great work horse duck hunters gun around here. The A5 Browning has a cut in the back of the receiver as clearance for the firing pin on recoil, the Remington used the fibre cushion riveted in from the inside. There were special tools available for rivet installation and to set the rivet in the cushion. When Remington was Remington, their field service guys stressed you had to have the cushion so when the guy gets an over size shell jammed and they put the butt on the ground and their shoe on the Operating handle and give it a kick start, when the barrel breaks loose and carries the loaded shell back to the no-cushion end of the receiver, wham! Lucky it goes just past your ear. An old gunsmith of that era that helped me a lot when I started in 1974, had that happen in his basement. Guy with a jammed gun, Andy asked him if it was loaded, no, says the owner, so Andy gives it the kick start, bamm,. right up into the floorboards of the floor up stairs. Later,when Andy is telling me Andy says :look at that, thats the phone wire, Sophie was on the phone just above when it happened. Andy told me he made the guy pay to repair
