Remington 1100 price??

I seen a used 1100 LGS asking 375.00 seem firm on price.
Gun made in 1989 on a 1 to 10 maybe a good 8.
Stock has one scratch about 4" long seem only went threw the polyurethane finish.
Next blueing good shape.
I would need to plug the rear end stock came with a swivel plug.
Otherwise gun in real decent.
Forgot to mention barrel inside no rust excellent condition

You'll be hard-pressed to find a 870 Wingmaster used for that price

I would pick it up for that price, don't even have to think about that. A solid 8 is tough to pass for that price.

Buy it.

I'm telling you now, buy it or you will regret it.

This is your one and only warning.

Gas rings are o.k. just needs a new rubber O Ring.
I also noticed the chrome loading gate latch seem the plated chrome is flaking off.
I have to locate some 1" target loads at around 1150 fps.
I hope the recoil is not bad .
I have a 1100 in 20 ga. I can shoot all day without any problem.

I wonder if I can find something to plug the rear swivel hole and yet I don't want to refinish the stock.
I have a Marlin white dot bulleye plug but it is too small for the hole

Buy it.
Recoil is not bad and there are lots of ways to fix holes in wood if it bothers you.

rem gun clubs are 1145fps. should be able to shoot those all day.

recoil? in an 1100? doesn't happen.

a lot of people install initial badges in swivel holes. galazans sells them. makes a perfect cover for a hole...and gives the stock some class. cheap enough too. go see. (CSM.com)

heres one i installed on my trap gun. as you can see, it makes the hole go away as if the badge was meant to be there. they come in gold or silver. don't ask me why, but the previous owner had a swivel in that drop dead piece of wood!
it came off a SXM1, he must have been older and so it may have been a bit heavy for him to haul it from trap field to trap field without slinging it.......

it hides in a smaller sub-category. I believe its in stock parts or accessories. im on dial up so csm wont load or id give you an exact page.
ya gotta dig and scroll down a few pages in each category. they do have pics of the item to cue on.
good luck.

some call it an initial medalian. it was a bonified option for guns leaving factories in the day. it kept people from picking up the wrong gun in racks when most guns were common American made ones. and, with the 1100 so common, it might not be a bad idea. heres one installed on a Winchester model 50.

Well here are the update on the 1100 took down totally clean the gun oil it up change the O ring and shot 2 rounds sporting clays no hecups at all.
Ammo I used was Winchester double AA 1 1/8 at 2 3/4 fps 1145 fps.
First round 21 out off 25.
Round 2 got a little cold did 18 out of 25.
I did fix the hole.
I filled it with j@b 5 min weld then redrilled for Marlin bulleye plug it came out excellent.
I will say the gun fit almost perfect but about 1/2" too long
I can't see cutting the stock for A 1/2".
I have the same problem with my mint 1100 made in 1974 20 ga. Built on a 12 ga. Frame.It is a keeper for sure.
I thought I would have problems with the light FPS
But she ran like a champ.

If you want to improve your sporting clays scores, forget about your metallic training - do NOT look at the bead at all; and if it is one of those stupid light pipes, remove it or color it black. You need to have your eyes focus only on the target - not the bead or the barrel.

I am having trouble going the opposite way - from shotgun to improving my pistol shooting (not competition) I tend to shoot better when the front sight is a blur and the target is crisp - old eyes.

oh no, not the stupid light pipes and beads fight again. use what you like. not all of us will-can-are experts and shoot for the fun of it. I like the sights and have shot many 25-25,s and 50-50,s with them, at 74 I have trouble at long runs over 50 as I get tired and start to drop birds that have nothing to do with sights. how ever I have shot lots of 73-74,s-75 and 95-97,s-100,s over the years(shot my first 25-25 in the mid 60,s) I do agree fit is paramount to shooting good scores with what ever method you use, sights-beads or only looking at the bird. eastbank.
