Its been nearly 3 decades ago but I remember a old pre 1100 Remington simi auto shot gun I worked on . Made probly early to mid 1900's . The fireing mech was all in the bolt kind of a striker fired . Pull the triger and it tripped a sear in the bolt . This one would fire without anyone pulling the triger just by itself . The shop owner was a real gun expert , so much firearm knowlage he was like a computer . He stopped by my bench and said disassemble it and I'll be back . He came back and picked up the bolt cocked it and set it down tapped the bench next to the bolt , the bolt snapped it fired it self . He frounded and said I use to hunt with one of these and I wrapped it around a tree . He knew the owner and called him , told him it needs to be a hanger not a banger (make a wall hanger out of it) they agreed and we made it a slick display piece . The shop owner was a great guy and great boss to work for . He handed it back to the gun owner and said no charge im glad to keep it from killing someone .
I dont remember the model # . I just posted this incase someone runs across one of these early Rem auto's . Was thinknig about the little shop I worked at and remembered this event .
