It is possible that the stock on SOME Model 11s and A5s might be similar, but they are NOT the same. My father owns a Remington M11 in both 20 gauge and 16 gauge, and he also has an A5 in 16. The stocks are not the same, there is no way they would be interchangeable.

I stand corrected. The stock on my Browning A5 circa late 1930s is identical to the stock on a close friends Remington Model 11. So its not totally wrong.
