I called my LGS this morning to see if they were open and they asked if I wanted another Model 11 for cheap. They said they would take $125.00 for it so I drove over and bought it.
It was indeed ugly but sound other than a minor crack at the wrist. It was made in 1936.
Whoo-Hoo! 4th of July project gun!
I lopped the barrel off to 18.25", re-beaded it, fixed the crack, and gave it a general going over. I was going to refinish the wood but nah, to hell with it. I installed fore and aft sling swivel studs and called it done.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I took it down to my range and it ran just fine.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
