<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Pre-WWII Rem Model</span> 11</span>. These were licensed by Browning to Remington and Savage. This one finally stopped running. I can't imagine why but the recoil spring had broken.
This is the bolt as I removed it from the shotgun. The exterior was in almost the same condition.

When I was finished.
The inside looks the same as the outside. Steel and wood was the color of crap when I received the gun. Should have taken pictures but I got carried away putting it back together.
<span style="color: #FF0000">AFTER</span>
Well, okay. Except for the exposed part of the bolt. I like some bling.
Awaiting some screws owner lost, and the broken recoil spring.
Here she is now with all her screws
Although only a very small amount remained, I removed the old stock finish. Shelac was applied. Three coats of Johnsons Paste Wax. One application of Auto Carnuba. The owner is a Body Shop man so he likes shiny finishes.
And I thought of what it appears the owner used as lubrication. Spittoon contents!
