cleaning a gas gun, ugh...
my 1100 LT-20 prepared for a thorough cleaning! Compared to a Beretta the 1100 is a snap, as far as gas guns go...

I only have to clean mine to that degree about once a year... unless we go swimming. I would gladly do it 20 times as long as I don't have to shoot an inertia action gun. Oh, or a long recoil one.

not to worry, the gun is being retired to wall hanger status, really. I'm building a shadow box for it and displaying it in my home office. Sure beats a framed picture. My new Franchi Affinity 20 gauge will fill the void...

Its depraved....but you probably weren't asking me...
 Why ask her for an 1100 ....when you could ask for one of the upper end Beretta 391's or a Benelli Super Sport ....if you're going to ask for forgiveness, aim a little higher there buddy ....geez....

KlawMan,
If you buy an 1100 then you won't be able to utilize .300's shotgun rental service... All those guns need exercise sometime..

FIELD REPORT: Here's what I posted on SGW, for what it's worth...
this will be easy. Today was the first time I shot the gun. Central Penn Sporting Clays, York County, PA. 100 total rounds using two boxes of Remington 7/8 target loads and two boxes of Federal 7/8 target loads. All were #8's. From the very first target to the last, the gun functioned flawlessly. I used the supplied IC choke tube which was totally effective on the course, on every target. I was pulling my own remote control targets and not scoring hits or misses, but I know I broke over 80% of the targets. I'm satisfied with the Affinity 20 and recommend it highly. Now, regarding the problem of feeding the gun and injuring your thumb, which was reported by a few here at SGW, Randy!! I have no clue what they/he were talking about. No problems feeding the gun what so ever! It was flawless, but maybe had something to do with the ammo I was using. The gun in black synthetic retails for, I believe $899. I bought the gun locally for $659! A great deal with no regrets. Some of its major attributes: - quality build - lightweight 5.6 lbs - durable - able to cycle all loads - easy to shoot - lightning quick inertia action - easy maintenance - cost |
