Beware of scammers.

Just purchased a Nylon 66 produced in 1962.

Does anyone have a recommendation(s) for a vintage or new scope and rings that I should acquire for it-one the "looks right" on it? It will be used for offhand plinking.

Thank you!

I saw a Remington 870TB today with the 150th anniversary logo on the left side of the receiver. Serial number is 1051xxxV. wood was very nice!. Not mint but looks hardly used if at all.

The owner wants to sell it to help fund his daughters college fund (it was his grandfather's shotgun).

Any idea ...

Thank you!

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!!

Are there certain barrel markings to look for to make certain it is for a LT 1100?

I'm a bit confused about barrels for LT 1100's.

I gather a "standard" barrel will not fit properly, but it is ok to use a LT barrel that is for a 3" LT 1100 on a non-magnum LT 1100???

Do you recommend ...

PS Do the high velocity steel loads cause any cycling or wear issues?

Is it ok to shoot steel shot through an 1100 with say a modified choke barrel?

What non -toxic shot loads to you prefer?

Thanks, again!

Your help is much appreciated!

I gather that with a straight stock you can't simply change barrels? I have seen a 90's lt for sale with straight stock and 24" barrel.

So, you would probably be happier with a 90's 1100 lt with an English stock versus a M series lt with a standard stock?

The only difference being the style of stock and checkering? The metal parts and the mechanics are all the same?

And, there should be no issue having a 90's lt barrel fit a M ...

Yes, small world- my uncle was VP of Production.

Is there a better "vintage" of 1100's to buy? Do you all stay away from LT 1100's made after a certain date? Or is a 70's LT the same quality-wise as a 80's, 90's or later one?

Thanks, again!

I don't shoot 20 ga-having SXS's in 12 and 28 gauges. Thus-in part-my interest in a 20 ga version. I gather that you haven't needed the 3" barrel?

Is there merit to finding a 3" 1100 LT?

Thanks!

Is yours a M prefix?

How does one distinguish between the post 77 1st, second and any subsequent generations?

In addition to Mike, have you found other great 1100 gunsmiths?

Are there certain parts that you keep on hand because you know their failure or wear potential?

Thank you very much, Virginian!

Am I correct that to at least come close to date of manufacture that you use a combination of the letter prefixes and suffixes that are referenced in a post here? And, that the serial number is on the barrel???? In the photos I looked at on Cabela's site I didn't see ...

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving!

I am new here but not new to Remington firearms.

My introduction to Remington occurred in 1959. I turned 12 and received a Nylon 66 as a birthday present from my favorite uncle, who was a VP with Remington.

Over the years he gave me target rifles that had been ...
