Re: Model 11 serial number help
The company name was Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. from 1911 to 1920. In 1920 the company name was changed to Remington Arms Co., Inc. According to the old factory ledger available on this web site, serial number 286501 would have been made in August 1924 --

Sounds like you may have an earlier barrel fitted to a 1924 receiver. The barrel serial number is often stamped on base of the ring which goes around the magazine tube. Requires taking the forearm and barrel off to see.
