All,
I recently picked up a Remington 1100, standard weight 20 ga. with a broken feed latch. Finding a replacement feed latch was like finding hen's teeth; but, I got one and it is installed.
I cannot find a "theory or sequence of operation" for the Remington 1100 anywhere, so I am cycling real shells (without primers) to better understand if this gun is ready to go. Starting with two shells loaded in the magazine (and none in the chamber), when I pull back the bolt handle:

I cannot find a "theory or sequence of operation" for the Remington 1100 anywhere, so I am cycling real shells (without primers) to better understand if this gun is ready to go. Starting with two shells loaded in the magazine (and none in the chamber), when I pull back the bolt handle:
- Should the shell be released from the feed latch with enough vigor to hit the carrier latch, trip it, and lift the shell such that the bolt doesn't lock and releasing the both handle will complete the cycle normally; or,
- What my gun currently does: The shell is released from the feed latch with vigor, but it bounces off the carrier latch w/o causing the carrier to lift the round. (I find with my finger I can trip it, and it could be relatching again, because I am holding the bolt handle - which I wouldn't be doing in an ordinary shot cycle).
- Going back, when I pull the bolt handle back, it always locks open even though a shell is fed from the mag and rests on the carrier. Pushing the carrier button loads the round normally.
