Anyone really familiar with the Remington Model 11? I bought it thinking it was exactly like a Browning Auto 5. Now I know I thought wrong. It is very close to the same, but a few slight differences.
My question: On the Mdl. 11, does the carrier latch button have to be pushed to load shells into the magazine tube? The carrier won't raise to allow loading unless the button is pushed? If so, does that mean you can't load the magazine unless the bolt is closed?
If that is true, after the last shot is fired and the bolt locks back, you would have to either close the bolt to load again, or push the release button and let the bolt slam shut as you load the magazine again. Maybe mine needs a little qualified work?
What is the correct way to load and then reload a Model 11?
Yes, I know the magazine cutoff lever is on the Browning and not the Remington. That is no big deal.
Thanks,
Bob
