Welcome to the TGO. Tennessee Native?

Stag Arms makes left handed uppers. You can grab an upper and BCG from them and use all other the parts off an existing AR.

Man, that is a beauty. What is the history of the rifle? When was it made? PM sent

I was the use of ChatGPT to write your adds that was different.

It does feel really easy to get to your shoulder and your line sighted in. Can’t wait to shoot it. I even have some vintage paper 16ga shot shells to try out.

Um, are you a robot?

After taking it apart, I saw many similarities between the Model 11 and the Model 81.

I would think the recoil system in the Model 11 would lessen the “mule kick”. I have only shot pump action shotguns, so I was hoping this would be less.

I picked up a new old shotgun at an auction recently and I finally got it from my FFL. It is a 1936 Remington Model 11 Sportsman autoloading shotgun, 16 ga. My FIL had a Browning A5 Sweet 16 at one time, sadly it was stolen. I was out bid on the lever guns I was really after and just following the auction and it popped up. The price was good, even with the buyer's premium. It included a period Lyman Cutts compensator with a full choke end. it also has a vintage rubber slip on recoil pad that was hard as a rock. Also, it will be a sweet mate for the 1936 Remington Model 81 autoloading rifle (.35 rem). They look quite similar. I did my normal teardown and deep cleaning, removed the old recoil pad (to find another underneath). The finish on the stock was meh, with obvious wear under the recoil pad. The forend was in good shape. Both pieces ended up with a deep clean/strip and a hand rubbed Danish oil finish. One of these days I will get it (and all the lever guns) to the range for a day of shooting. These photos are from the auction site: These were taken when I removed the recoil pad: These are after I put it all back together. The stock and forend will still get a few more hand rubbed layers of Danish Oil: The Model 81 for Reference:

Luckily, most chicken barns have huge ventilation fans.

That dinosaur is evil. Evil I tell you!!!

That was kind of what I was thinking, or at least that the thread would get locked.

Wow, someone dropped the BanHammer

All I can say is WTF.

They are obviously not cat people

Still looking. I was outbid on a Marlin Stainless steel Trapper. I’m still thinking I want a guide gun over a 22” long gun. Although the early 70’s long barrel will match nicely with the .375 and .444

Why is it all those folks look like “old people”, but are all (except the golden girl) younger than me? I don’t feel like I look that old.

Actually, biologically, all flowers do produce eggs. Just not “chicken eggs”.

Her version is interesting. But my brain just can’t put “Dolly Parton” in the story in place of Linda Perry.
