Here's a site with an owner's manual for the Browning A5 or Auto 5.
You can use it for your Remington Model 11.
http://www.stevespages.com/page7b.htm
Back in the early 1900's, John Browning was licensing his gun designs to both the FN company in Belgium, and to American companies.
He sold the Auto 5 to FN, and licensed it to Remington, who sold it first as the Remington Autoloading Shotgun, then as the Model 11.
They made it from 1905 to 1948.
They made a very wide variety of models of it, and some are quite valuable.

There is an additional variation, the "American Browning". It is a Model 11, with the magazine cut off added, made by Remington but marked Browning Arms on the barrel. These were made during WW2 while the FN plant was under the control of the Nazis.
Though an A5 manual is useful in working on a Model 11 and they look almost identical, the parts are not interchangable.
The one exception on interchangable parts is the recoil spring and friction rings.
