If you choose to do this, get Kuhnhausen's shop manual on Remington shotguns. Both procedures are covered there.

I agree with Dave. I have one and it really helps you understand the in's and out's of the inner workings.

First I've heard of the Kuhnhausen text. Is this something you can pick up at Amazon.com? Or do I need to look somewhere like Brownell's?

Wife got mine by a NET search for the cheapest price, Guyon. Amazon doesn't carry it.
Try a search here in the Archives. There's an old thread which may help... |

Brownells carries the Kuhnhausen books. I have several, and they are worth the money.
I can't imagine needing to take the 1100 bolt down unless you have a broken firing pin. You can reach virtually everything on it with a can of Gunscrubber or Brakleen. Stock removal really requires a special socket that Brownells sells. You can get at the nut that holds the stock on with a long screwdriver, but the socket wrench keeps you on the head of the nut and avoids a) a split stock and b) a broken nut. The nut is sintered metal and is somewhat brittle, and it is torqued on at the factory by a gorilla with an air wrench. Get the socket, and you won't regret it.

i'm not worried about cracking the stock on it. i'm gonna get a speedfeed pistol grip stock put on it as soon as i can get the damn thing off. i think i'll probably just wait till i get all of the aftermarket stuff bought and then take it all to a gunsmith and have him do all the work on it.
