Hi all,
You may have seen my previous thread where I was thinking about rescuing an old Remington 1100:
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=273113
You may also have seen my numerous other posts asking questions about 1100's. Well, the reason is...
I, in fact, rescued her!
I just thought I'd show you all a few pictures of her. She's my first 1100 (and first semi-auto). It was manufactured in 1968, comes with a 28" fixed modified, non-rib barrel, and it is an excellent condition! All this for only $258.
I've replaced the mag spring, action spring, mag tube follower, and o-ring, and now (as you can see from the pics) I'm about to increase the LOP to about 15.75" using a Kick-Eez Magnum pad and spacers. Don't worry, I'm keeping the original butt plate!
I also just purchased a new 26" barrel with fixed IC choke for skeet shooting off eBay. I can't wait to take her to the range this weekend! This has been a FUN project cleaning her up, installing the new parts, and reading the 1100 Shop Manual learning how it all works.
Anyway, here are the pics. Enjoy.
Chris
