They're almost exactly alike. The model 11 has a buffer at the back of the receiver (69). The one thing that bugs me about this build is what happened to the action spring that goes down at an angle into the butt stock?
Parts # 9, 10 and 11

I used to have a Remington Autoloading Rifle (what the Model 8 was called first). If I remember correctly, that spring and it's parts are the catch for the bolt to hold it rearward while the barrel returns to it's forward position. I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to move it inline with the barrel, or change it to a different style spring altogether.
