what ever happened to the rem 11-87 an the 11-96?
The 11-87 is still made along with the 1100, V3, and Versa Max. I had never heard of the 1196 and did a search on it and on Shotgun world they had the following:
Remington 11-96 Euro Lightweight
Notes: Introduced in 1996, the Euro Lightweight was primarily meant for the European market, but also had some small sales in North America. It did not sell well, and in 2000 was taken out of production, despite the fact that it was chosen in 1997 by Shooting Industry magazine as the Shotgun of the Year. The Euro Lightweight is a semiautomatic shotgun with a strong chrome-molybdenum barrel that has a ventilated sighting rib. It is similar in many respects to the Model 11-87 and may be partially based on that model. The receiver and mechanism are made from lightweight steel, and the receiver is engraved on both sides. The Euro Lightweight is equipped with a set of interchangeable chokes for Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full.

bobski,
The bottom-eject gun was the 105CTi. Some early models had feeding issues and they were retrofitted with different parts to become the "version II". That seemed to help, but the gun only lasted a few years. Light weight and very nice handling shotgun. Those that have them that had no issues love them.

i think the 105 failed due to being required to shoot only 1 1/8oz loads to make the gun cycle....?
I had 2 11-96 models. They were great in the field because they were light. The 105 just didn’t work and they couldn’t get it right. Pretty much a single shot auto.
I do not. Can you describe it briefly?
The only Remington model 12's that I knew of we're 22 pumps with the exception of a 22 Special.

Yes, the Sportsman 12. It was just an "Express" version of the 1100. Came in pump, too.

Both the semi-auto and the pump were introduced in 1985 and discontinued in 1987; just 2 years production.
First year, 1985: both came with 28" Mod and 30" Full chokes.
Second year, 1986: both came with 28" RemChoke and 30" Full.
