07? So it's more than a century old. Take good care of it.

IMO, 11s don't have user friendly interiors. I suggest getting this to a decent smith for a deep clean and lube. He/she can also see if the chamber length is up to modern ammo.

New rings and springs, ready for another century....

I'm new to this sight, and I also have a Remington Model 11 shotgun that belonged to my dad. It's still in excellent condition, although it needs to have the bluing done to it, and the last time it was fired was back in the 70s. I was wondering if anyone could tell me when this shotgun was manfactured. The serial number on it is 377573. As for a description of the shotgun, it's semi-automatic, holds 5 shells with the plug removed, and a dark colored stock with what looks like a wheat pattern engraved on it, and the butt is made of a orange colored rubber material.
Huskerfan,

Your gun was manufactured in late April / early May of 1930.
