When you’re done, come finish mine lol.

I’m actually considering selling the dart in pieces. To put the funds towards a sport fury. Even if I got 40- 50 percent of what I paid for the parts, I’m still looking at over 10k.

Well I just was given my great great grandfather’s old Humpback Semi auto. It’s in pieces and appears to be missing a few things. It’s an old Model 11. Wondering if it’s even possible to find parts for it. Googling as we speak

Those are very popular, you will have no issues finding parts and you tubes for assembly. My model 1900 Remington I compete with was essentially replaced in the market by Mr. Brownings ingenious humpback repeaters. They only made mine until 1910 then Remington went all in on humpback. It is really just a disguised A5! The purists will balk but as you research it the similarities are striking. Kind of like explaining to someone how very different a Duster and a Demon are. To a purist huge difference, to a guy on the street, same car.

Pretty sure this is a Remington model 11. It just says model 11 on it

No unfortunately I don't. Getting onto a stereo forum can be helpful if it's a good one, good luck! I used to have a Teac cassette, had DBX noise suppression, worked pretty good. Had some TDK MA-90R metal tapes, made some good recordings with that set up.

Some time ago I looked at audiokarma. Maybe when I have enough time to focus on yet another project unrelated to any other...
 
Actually I was mistaken. It also says “Manufactured for Browning under Patent dated October 2 1900 by Remington Arms on June 4 1902” stamped into the barrel.

Hence my earlier point! Hah!
Mr. Browning got in a squabble over royalties with them. Royalties were at the time a foreign concept. He was smart enough to see simply selling his design was short sighted. He recognized how many units they could sell. He was both a shrewd businessman and ahead of his time with regard to mechanical design.

Yeah I got looking closer at it. It appears that I may have everything but the action spring, plunger and retainer and then the buttplate and those screws.

This one has been shortened at some point to an 18 inch barrel with an adjustable choke

Yep. Just been reading a little about him here and there. Seems like his partnership with the bicycle manufacture F.N. helped enlighten the companies in the U.S.

Ian and Karl or Carl? seem to do their homework and have clear well presented summaries of historical stuff.

That was all the rage in the seventies. Ruined a whole bunch of perfectly good shotguns

Yeah that would have roughly been when my great great grandfather passed it down before he died in the late 70s

That’s a cool action right there. I’ve never fired this. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen it fired. The question is... do i want to try to fire it when I get it back together? It’s a pretty old gun, nearly 119 years old

A sawed off shot gun. I don't know if I would advertise that fact.

It’s not a sawed off. It’s been shortened by a gun smith. It’s too clean and the staking it definitely professionally done.

I’m more worried about the action and the breach more than I am the barrel
