ordnance Posted December 11, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2019 The part number is B009-73-10579. It's the magazine tube for the Remington Model 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Garandy Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks! Can you tell me what manual or document that info is located in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted December 11, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 11, 2019 It's in the 1950s editions of the Ord 8 or Ord 9 for commercial shotguns. Not handy while at work but if you need the exact title and date I'll post it tonight. I'd forgotten until I looked last night that the wartime editions of the shotgun parts SNLs do not use the normal parts numbering system of the period. They instead used a company prefix (like Rem for Remington) and a number for the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordnance Posted December 12, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 12, 2019 Oops, not as late as I remembered, actually from 1948. Here is the cover and appropriate page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted December 12, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 12, 2019 While we're on the subject, here is the corresponding Ord 8 SNL B-9 from 1943. Note the simplified manufacturer part numbers are the only ones listed for identification and ordering purposes. The whole series of commercial shotguns pressed into service early in WWII, especially the various non-standard types of the Blanket Procurement Program, didn't fit well in the system of Ordnance Stock and Part numbers. It seems it took some time to work it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
