white fox Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have Remmy 1100 .410 - cracking little gun. One problem I had was the extractor claw, pin and spring extracted itself in a field. Had to wait ages for replacement from Avon Vale Guns & Edgar Bros, but all working fine now. Interestingly no charges from them. Edgar Bros are the importer from US but won't deal with the public direct. Also it will only recycle with 3" magnum carts, I use Fiocchi. Hope this helps.

dunganick Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 i was under the impression they relied ona series of o rings? and these were prone to dieing on you and needing replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good choice! I used to have one and loved it. Never had any problems with it although i always carried a spare '0' ring and an extractor claw just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 When you clean the gun,mind you don't slice your fingers if you put them inside the reciever as the rails get razor sharp where the breech block slides back and forth. I did this a lot of years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
