tactical remington 1100

[HEWA195@CS.COM]

A couple of things to keep in mind ,or you will have a jam-a-matic as the smith I worked with called 1100's. The trigger group needs to be cleaned just like the rest of the gun. If you do not pull it,clean,and oil it they will wear out. They also have a tendancy to break the recoil forks. Keep a spare handy.We worked on alot of 1100's used in trap shooting. The 1100's do not have a gas adjuster or self adjusting gas system. The size of the ports in the barrel are set for a particular loading. Get too far from that load and you will have cycling problems. If it won't cycle with a short barrel/load combo you adjust the load ,or open up the ports to a larger size.You can still find used barrels at gun shows and other places for $50-$100. Sometimes less ,if it is rusty or otherwise beauty challenged. Find a cheap barrel with a bulge at the muzzle ,and cut it down. We did this in the shop quite often.If I dig through the barrel pile I may even find one.

thanks for the information, I do not know much at all about shotguns, the 1100 is the only shotgun i have and i got it recently from a family member whos had it for at least 30 years. I had to clean the crap out of it when i got it, so i imagine that some of the parts might be worn out.

I am thinking about bringing it to a gunsmith to just inspect it and look for worn out parts. If you find a barrel that you would sell, just send me a private messege.


thanks again
