Rizzini Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Are these guns and good. I have seen a 12 Remmy 1100 in my local gun shot today its a black synthetic one which has a good price tag on it. I am considering getting one but would like to know if anyone on here has got one and that they think of it, do they cycle well, and are they easy to clean ect.., Cheers RIZZINI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Great gun the 1100. They were so good that when Remington brought out the 11-87 after selling millions of the 1100's they ended up bringing them back by popular demand.

poontang Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 They've been around for 46 years and still going strong, an iconic semi-auto. You won't go wrong with one :blink: Keep it clean and it'll see you alright for years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchangun Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) I have a 1970s 1100 - brilliant gun , built like a tank , not amo fussy, like a mechanno kit to take apart and easy and cheap to get bits ( especially if you get them in the states online) I put some pastic 'ramline' woodwork on mine and picked up a multichoke barrel in the states and gave it a new lease of life. My gun is only 2 3/4 chambered but with mini mag amo its as good as any 3" chambered goose gun. millions of rednecks cant be wrong!

neil smith Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 ive got an 1100, which i bought recently, i have a problem with it, i have cleaned and it is spotless, but i cant get it to cycle the cartridges or if it does it jams. Anyone any ideas Andy Andy What kind of jam are you getting ? Does the empty case get ejected or is it still in the gun ? Does the empty case get ejected & the new cartridge get stuck on the carrier or simply fail to chamber properly. Does the gun have an "easy loader" fitted to it ? Most remington jams or failure's to cycle are caused by simple things but can be difficult to find if you do not understand how the gun works, Im assuming you have assembled the gas rings in the correct order & also the rubber seal ring is in perfect condition. A worn interceptor latch post is the most common failing on older 1100/1187s & causes "timing" issues as it controls when the next shell is released from the magazine, the good news is there are many parts available & are not that expensive.

goldypurple Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 a bit of half and half on the second fault. whats an easy loader? I think the rings are in right and o ring looks fine as well. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldypurple Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 where's the best place for parts? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 where's the best place for parts? Andy Numrich Arms. The gal who does International is Renata McGuire. Great service for just about any gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Or Midway UK - To be fair, the parts will probably cost you more than the gun - Frighteningly expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
