Noooo... Do they fit a Browning A5/Remington 11? Nooo... So - double of some sort? Boyd replacement A5/Remington 11 at top. Last edited by Story; 03/13/23 09:51 AM.

That would imply some sort of double barrel, where all the internal stuff is forward of the buttstock.[b][/b] Last edited by Story; 03/17/23 11:17 AM.

I do find the fitment of the head to the action very odd on the one with it being assymetric. Maybe just a very rough stock turning. I don't believe they are from a magazine gun. They look like boxlock doubles without the autosafety rod hole drilled.
