MrDaveO84 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi all, I have a remington 1100 fixed skeet barrel I havent had it long and its been faultless I put a 100 carts through it on saturday never missed a beat..however when I got home I stripped it down to replace the safety (last owner was a lefty so he kept knocking the safety on so had it taken out) I dont like not having the safety so I wanted to put it back on. when ive opened it up ive realised that one of the arms on the link has broken so now you cant cock it at all. Does anyone know any other shops in the uk that has spares for these? ive tried all the ones I could find using google and none of them had the links in stock so now the only option I have is to order from america. any help would be appreciated cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) See if you can get someone to tig weld it back together as Midway UK want £100 for a replacement and chambers wanted £90. In the states they are only £45-50. Edited September 29, 2014 by Andy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveO84 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 This is the part in question its http://www.midwayuk.com/epages/Midway_UK.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Midway_UK/Products/356442& pretty sure it couldnt be welded together plus I cant actually find the broken part it wasnt on my gun mat it could have broken off in the gun slip maybe I will have to check. It couldnt have broken when I was using it as surely it wouldnt fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I had to order my 1100 parts from Brownells in the US.... the midway UK site is a drop ship site, dont stock anything in the UK it all comes from the states with a hefty mark up.

thepasty Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 £10 + postage from Brownells. http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/bolt-parts/link-parts/link-prod10175.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveO84 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks Pasty, Would I be able to have that part delivered from them? I dont know much about the rules on importing gun parts etc. I emailed brownells yesterday so was waiting for a reply from them. I definately wont be ordering from midway uk not at those prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDaveO84 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 thanks mate, trying to order now but wont let me checkout for some reason it just crashes!...hopefully get it ordered soon and get back out shooting with it. I have an O/U so its not stoppping me but really enjoyed shooting skeet with the remy! have you ever ordered barrels from the states? wouldve though you would definitely needed an import ticket for that. wouldnt mind getting a half choke or something for pigeon shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 ! think barrels and receivers are a no no... maybe trigger groups as well. I use my fixed skeet choke 1100 for everything... except skeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanm Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Did you try tw chambers aswell mate , they've usually *** most things for remi 1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveO84 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi mate..yep first one I phoned as usual the one part I need they didn't have...managed to order it from brownells so hopefully that will be dispatched soon :-)...what do you all think of the 1100? I got it for a good price so just got it and so far I've enjoyed shooting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I love mine and everyone whos shot it seems to get on with it too. Mines older than me, has patches of patina, the bluings wearing away, stocks scratched and dented, the butt pad blood stained as I use it to finish off quarry when needs be, it fits like a glove, I'm not precious about it and it never miisses a beat.... did I mention I love it?

MrDaveO84 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I must admit im feeling that way with mine as well!...the stock was a little short for me so bought a slip on extender and it feels miles better. I love the look of them its something different from all the beretta's you see everywhere. I think mine was made in the early 80's from the serial numbers and it was restricted to 2 in the mag in 1989. its in mint condition the bluing is perfect on the barrel just a little bit of light rusting on the reciever. I bought it for rough shooting and skeet as I want to keep my browning 525 immaculate. I patterned it at the weekend and the choke is more like a 1/4 than a skeet as the patterns were very similar to the 1/4 in my O/U it shoots very well for me. just need to find somewhere or someone to go pigeon shooting with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanm Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I've got a 1100 magnum , it's great old gun and when looked after and kept clean they don't seem to cause any trouble and they fit me perfect .mine is a early one from between 1963-1968 lol Edited October 1, 2014 by allanm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveO84 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 All the reviews I read most people seem to find it a bit of a marmite gun the yanks love them...some say they're unrealiable others that that they've never had problems. But I think after 4 million sold your going to have a few that break down the numbers speak for themselves though. most importantly for me is it fits me and I can shoot well with it....well nearly as good as my browning anyway haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
