Seeking Help with Remington 11-48 Parts Compatibility
I’ve recently acquired a Remington 11-48 shotgun and I’m looking to dive deeper into its parts compatibility. There’s a lot of information in various forums, but I’d love to get some detailed feedback from those who have hands-on experience.
Key Areas of Interest
Stocks:
Are there specific models from the Remington line that have interchangeable stocks? How about aftermarket options?
Trigger Groups:
I’ve heard that trigger groups can sometimes be swapped out, but are there any pitfalls I should watch for?
Barrels:
What other Remington models might have barrels that could fit? I know that the 11-48 has its own unique design, but I’ve seen mentions of certain models being compatible.
Additional Considerations
Aftermarket Parts:
Recommendations for aftermarket parts would also be appreciated! Are there specific brands or suppliers that folks have had a good experience with?
Repair and Modification:
If you’ve done any repair or modification work on your 11-48, I’d love to hear about your experiences!
This shotgun has great potential, and I want to make sure I’m making informed decisions as I look into modifications or repairs. Any insights, personal experiences, or suggestions would be tremendously helpful! Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
The Remington 11-48 has a lot of interchangeable parts with the Remington Model 11. Triggers and bolts are often compatible with slight adjustments. It’s worth checking the specific model number before purchasing any parts.
Many users have found that the forearm and buttstock from the Remington Sportsman 58 also fit the 11-48, but sometimes require a little sanding down to match. Just be ready for some DIY!
You should use fine-grit sandpaper and work slowly. Start by taking off less material, then test fit frequently. It’s a lot easier to take off more than to put it back on!
Don’t forget to clean the surfaces thoroughly after sanding. But remember, if you mess it up, there are always aftermarket options available! Just do your homework.
Gas ports are definitely compatible, but be cautious. If you change them, you might need to adjust your load for cycling properly. It’s not all plug-and-play!
Sure! You might need to go with hotter loads if you increase gas flow. But every gun is different; it can be a bit of trial and error to find what works best.
Also, a funny thought—my buddy tried to swap parts from a completely different brand once. Let’s just say it didn’t work out too well! Always check compatibility first!
I’ve had great experiences with local gunsmiths as well. They can sometimes manufacture parts that are hard to find online. Definitely worth asking around.
