| Super Moderator   | It's been doing great though with heavy loads, and I've found an affordable variety. No, I'm looking into another pump (already have a Moss 590) for multi-use, including slug hunting. The Rem 1100 was a fun gun from the start. There's a special project I'm using it to make. While I may eventually take it hunting, I'm still thinking of getting another pump or two.

| Moderator   |  I'm thinking seriously of the new Whitney Wolverine clone - I could do some interesting mods without messing with a collectible original! I love the original design, but there is room for improvement. I also really have the major hots for one of these . . . http://www.rhinelandarms.com/main.htm http://www.rhinelandarms.com/R22/r22archive.htm

| Super Moderator | Not yet, any cheap source for them? I have seen the O-Ring at gander Mountain. Is the 1100 supposed to cycle light target loads?

| The 1100's problems relate to the interceptor latch and magazine tube. We cause the problems with the magazine tube. For capacity purposes, we hang extension tubes on the end of the factory tube. If this transition isn't smooth, you have problems. Consider that the shells, follower, and spring must pass by it in two directions. On my 1100's, I use the factory steel follower or one of my own spun out on the lathe to help glide over any such problems. If you must use a plastic follower, keep it clean and smooth. The larger problems surround the magazine spring. We pay close attention to our pistol recoil and magazine springs (sometimes too much), but we neglect our shotguns. In the 1100, this is a serious mistake. As a rule of thumb the spring should be 8" to 10" longer than the assembled length of your shotgun and extension. The 1100 trigger group contains a part called the carrier release. The carrier release is operated solely by the force of the shell leaving the magazine tube. Really! The thing that allows your shotgun to close and feed a live round is dependent upon the force of the shell leaving the magazine tube! How often have you seen 1100's lock open, with a round sitting in the action? Nothing looks wrong, but the bolt has stuck back? Any trouble with feeding rounds out of the magazine tube can cause the carrier release to "stick" on the carrier stud. When all goes well, dropping the hammer, activating the disconnect and interceptor latch, feeding the next round, tripping the carrier release, plus loading the round and re-setting the trigger takes about 14 hundredths of a second. Yes, this is the cyclic rate of the 1100 Remington. Shot-to-shot speed stops at 14 hundredths. While it is possible to pull the trigger faster, the disconnect will not reset until the bolt is fully closed. This tidbit of information came to me via my 1100's, and the aforementioned quest for speed. While not known in the big circles, I was, for a period of time, (here in my little neck of the woods) referred to as "Machine gun Kelley." During a bowling pin shoot I noticed I was either trigger-freezing or somehow stutter-stepping around pins. With the attendant five second penalty per pin left on the table, this would never do. Only a poor sportsman blames his equipment, but I had to know whether I suffered from trigger freeze or if the gun was at fault. Having multiple 1100's on hand, a video camera, and an operator, I soon found out more than I wanted. A cool November afternoon found my buddy Hunter and me out testing one of my 1100's. Hunter was picked because he did not immediately suggest it was pure folly to think I could outrun a self-loading gun. Careful examination of slow motion footage clearly showed my trigger finger pulling the trigger a second time before the action closed. Now what? More testing with more 1100's with a wider selection of ammunition brought the same results. Thoughts of cutting, grinding, lightening and springing came and went. There was nothing actually wrong with any of the 1100's tested, only a built-in finite cyclic rate. from http://www.winchesterguns.com/prodin...tail.asp?ID=72 |

| Super Moderator | That's great to know! Thanks! Wonder if ANY other auto shotguns work that way. Seems like an unnecessary complication to me. Remington has always been kind of poor on rapid fire.

| Senior Member | Aside from some handguns that are patiently awaiting the excruciatingly long NJ permit process, I'm looking to get a .223 of some sort. Never had one and everyone seems to think it's a good round. I really have a hard time with peer pressure so I'll end up getting one.  I think I spelled excruciatingly wrong.
