Remington model 11's were the guns of my youth. I never had one because I was the odd man out among my friends in shooting a pumpgun. A 20 ga model 31 Remington to be exact.
But my friends all had either a Browning if their daddy could afford it or a Remington 11. Most were the model 11's.
I recall a trip my best friend and I took on a Trailways Bus from south Georgia to middle Georgia to visit my grandparents and spend a week turned loose on the farm with our shotguns. We were about 13 and I had my pump and my buddy had a model 11.
We carried them on the bus and held them in our hands the entire trip. No one even looked sideways at us. Can you imagine that today?...Geo
