Remington Model 1100

Post by Mikrose »

I've tried to understand the numbers on my 1100 - 20 gauge, but I'm stumped. I think the fore-end and stock are wood, not synthetic. I bought it used from a non-hunting friend in 1972. Here is what I've found:

On the left side of the barrel near where the barrel goes into the receiver: D R W 7
On the left side of the receiver just above the trigger: L652133X

I've read the charts and am still confused...8 concussions, go figure!

It is a standard weight - built on the 12 gauge size receiver - 20 gauge Model 1100. Standard field model, with American Walnut stock and fore end.
The barrel was made in November, 1972. The serial number is also a fit, so it is very likely that is the original barrel.
It appears to be in excellent condition.

Very nice Remmy. I have the LT Magnum (3") from the same period. You can fit a 2 3/4" ribbed RemChoke barrel to it (find on the ebay market) and they make a great skeet or sporting clays gun.

If you decide you want choke tubes, Mike Orlen can fit them to your gun far cheaper than a new barrel, and you get to keep the feel of that nice light barrel.

Unlikely you'll find a remchoke barrel for this shotgun. New production barrels won't fit. It's a 12ga receiver and many of the parts are simply "special". Although you'll find it easy enough to sell this... many competitors who shoot Remington's prefer this heavier gun to the current production models. Much easier recoil. It's in really nice shape.

Carlson can fit your barrel with screw in chokes for about $150 including 3 tubes. Not a bad deal. Gunsmith's would have to charge nearly that or more to make something fit. Carlson's tubes are just as good as the rest. It's a lot of smoke & mirrors to some. But really with CNC machines the "MAGIC" is gone.

If you shoot skeet or trap you'll like this gun.
