I tore down a Remington Model 11 in order to replace a snapped mainspring.  While I was tapping out the safety sear pin, I accidentally lost the ball detent for the crossbolt safety.  According to AI (machines never lie ) the Auto 5 safety ball should work in the Model 11.  I looked at the model 11 diagram on Numrich's site, and it's in the diagram but they don't have a listing for it.  This is the later model with the crossbar safety, not the "suicide" safety in the trigger well.

Can anyone here who has experience with either platform verify this?

This guy is great. Call him tomorrow and ask. I've ordered from him before and he had great videos on YouTube as well.

Yesterday I found his Youtube channel.  He sells rebuild kits containing all the springs and related parts.  Even though this shotgun was made in the 30's-40's the springs aren't worn out.

AAR:  Safety ball arrived in the mail today.  Dropped right in.  Fortunately the assembly process was fresh in my mind and I knew what I had to remove and where it went.
