I am hoping to gather information about my model 11.
According to the serial # per remington the gun was made in 1912 the letter in front of the serial # designates that it is a "tournament" type.
Recently I was having problems with the firing pin not striking the primers hard enough to set it off. I broke the weapon down removed the firing pin with the intention of replacing the pin and a spring or two. During this process I noticed a hairline crack in the pin that is toward the butt end of the gun and then of course it broke. Not a problem i can have another one made. During my search across the web I was displeased to find that most or all of the companies that supply parts had not even the first clue about guns of any kind. I also noticed that there may be a few things missing on my model 11 that I was unaware of such as some type if cushion or bushing that fits on the back of the bolt with a rivet. Thought I would mention it here because I heard that this would be the place to get CORRECT answers. Thanks
