I have a circa 1975 Remington 1100 with about 300 shots through it. Due to medical conditions, I did not shoot this from 1978 until recently. It was stored indoors in its original box.
I recently took it out, cleaned it, replaced the "O" ring, added a 5 shot tube extension, installed an 18 1/2" Remington barrel and took it to the range.
Wolf buckshot failed to extract and failed to feed an additional shell. Someone at the range told me Wolf ammunition does not function well in a remington Shotgun.
I bought Remington buckshot and after a full cleaning, I took it back to the range today. First I tried the Remington Buckshot ... same results. The round fires, but does not extract, eject and feed a new round. I pull back on the charge handle, the hull hangs in the ejection port, I manually remove the hull, push the slide release and chamber a new round.
This happens for all 8 rounds in the tube. Both with Remington, Wolf and Federal shells.
Any thoughts on what I might try next ?
