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.

The 1100 Owners Manual would be a good place to start as well.

Good luck!

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.
