farmer Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I've got a remi 1100 and just recently it's started to play up?? sometimes it will cycle/reload fine then other times it only ejects the empty but doesn't reload the next shell. I'm mainly using 30g/32g shells and i've tried several different brands just in case. I also strip and clean the gun regularly so it shouldn't be that. Any ideas???

dodeer Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Use 70mm cartriges. Clean the gas ports with a pipe cleaner. Do not over oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 my mate says to keep them dry as possile/no oil what so ever anyone else of this opinion??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Too much oil in a semi is bad news. It will gather grit ect and the burnt powder will gum up and jams will accure. I have a Beretta A 304, i have never oild it, only slightly, never the pistons ect and rarely clean it and its still going stronf after 8 years. It never seems to rust ither. Right work horse. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun-Sean Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 it could be the magazine spring has become compressed over its life time and they shrink therefore not got enough oomph in em to push the next cart up, i have a browning and only ever oil the piston if i am going to store it for any length of time cheers sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB REYNOLDS UK Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) do a full strip down ,and use a tooth brush to move the crud out ,then blast it with air ,then spray with a light oil ..it works for me the tube mag will get stiff becouse of rust if it gets wet so put some light oil down there and use you finger to make sure it works ok..

kip270 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Had my port holes on my remmy1100 drilled out so i can shoot lighter load shells, have had no problems with it Edited January 17, 2006 by kip270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white fox Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have a remmy 1100 .410 Love it - but it will only recycle Fiochi carts, nothing else works. What is all this 'drilling out' mallarky, from what size to what size are we talking about. Removing metal is easy but putting it back is a tad tricky. Any gunsmiths on here?
