Traded into these two shotguns, thanks to knowledgeable members here I at least know what they are now. Left is a 1924 12 Ga Browning A5. Wood is excellent, wear on left receiver (looks like cold blue touch up), conservatively rate gun at 85%. Have not test fired. Other is a 1925 12 ga Remington Model 11 II, excellent condition overall, have test fired this one and its a shooter. When I picked up the Model 11 was told he had another one so I just bought both. Intent was to sell one and cut down the other into a truck gun, still haven't decided which one yet. My interests have always been in other areas so that's why I'm asking. Which one to keep, which one to cut down, which one to sell, or sell both and get something else. Any suggestions appreciated, also any indication of value. Thanks

RK keep both of them. Get you a 500 mossberg or rem 870 for a truck gun more shells and when you drop it it won't scratch much.

If it was good enough for Lone Wolf McQuade then it’s good enough for RK. I think a 18.5-20in A5 would make the perfect truck gun. Hard to drive a vehicle and run a pump shotgun at the same time if you’re flying solo.

If you cut one of those beautiful shotguns to make it a truck gun, we may have to ban you. 😬

Should be able to get 2 each riot shotguns up at Larry's on an even trade for 1 of these fine pieces of history.
I'd keep the A5. When making these decisions I always pick the nicer gun. So if one had a rib and other didn't I'd keep the gun with the rib barrel as an example. Unless there is something special or more rare going on.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Pretty sure that Auto 5 is NOT a 1924 gun. PM me the serial #. My ‘guess’ (without even seeing all angles or serial#)?…1958-64
The model 11 is a pre-WWII, for sure.

The model 11 is a pre-WWII, for sure. Didn't look that old to me either. Serial # is 164XX - no letters, ect. For closure - I kept the Remington, will leave as is. Have the Browning for sale on consignment at a store. Thanks for all the interest and replies

Don't cut one of those beautiful guns. Sell one to someone and use the money to buy a used Mossberg and have enough left to buy some TSS shells, sling, scope or holosight if that's your thing, and enough to take the wife and kids out to Wendy's for when they jack the prices up on you.
