Thank you so much!This was my dad's favorite gun and I haven't touched it since he died 35 years ago.I remember him getting it when I was about 12 years old and I'm 70 now.Your video was so informative. I went to clean the gun tonight since we have a hurricane coming and I never know who's going to show up at the door.AnywayI had it cleaned a while back by someone else and sure enough the O-ring was missing and I would not have known that without watching your video.Thank goodness I have my little Mossberg as a backup, but we'll be going to a gun shop to get that o-ring.

Good instructions. I have a 3 inch mag 1100, but can use hunting 2 3/4 loads with no problems as long as they have 1 + Oz loads. Lt target loads won't cycle. However a 2 3/4 barrel on the mag action will cycle all 2 3/4 loads. The 2 3/4 barrel has two side by side gas ports.

What a fantastic instructional video! I’m more handgun oriented so this was exactly what I needed. What a filthy 1100 I had. Loved your video angle and calm instructions Thank you

excellent. I finally took the time to watch a good video and was able to tear my 1100 and my 1187 apart, clean them and then put them back together. thank you

I had one of these given to me not that long ago by a good friend. This certainly helped getting it all apart to thoroughly inspect all the components! Thank you.

Thanks my friend. Very informative. I've now completely restored one of these 1100's, along with an 11-48. New finish on the wood, and a Matte Black Finish on the steel with Duracoat. I'm really impressed with how they came out. Now, to get them back together. Great vid man. I needed it!! My best to you and your family.

Thank you so much for this. I’d never taken the 1100 my grandfather left me 30 years ago down that far and it was cruddy in the bolt. No corrosion though which made me happy. I only took it down to removing the barrel for cleaning until tonight. Clean as new now and a good oiling.

Excellent video. Thx for the details! I broke my 12 and 20 1100’s down and gave them a way over due cleaning and reassembled them. Much appreciated!

I freaking love that you use that tool as a pointer to what part you are talking about

really awsome video, i just got my grandpas shotgun and it turned out to be a Remington 1100 so im learning what i can about it and this video really helped

I really appreciate your video. I repaired my 1100 just by watching your complete video. Thank you for posting

Excellent video. Most complete breakdown I have ever seen

Thank you for making this video, I would have never known I was missing the 2 metal rings without your help thank you👍

I watched your video on the disassembly and reassembly of the Remington model 11/A5, I have the same model 11 but it looked pretty intimidating with all those parts so I’m glad I seen your 1100 video also, going to start with disassemble/reassemble my 1100 first to get my guts up to go for the model 11 next LOL thanks man great help!

Launched my action tube into my shop & had to buy another for my Rem11!(which I prefer) Great video! Thank you!

Good Video, Thank You ! The part that has caused me trouble most times....And sometimes not, is that action spring LINK ! Little piece of stamped spring steel, forked shape. That little bugger can be a problem. I think you need the gun upside down when the action bar goes in. Mine broke today on the trap range! Already got one coming from Midway, Brownell's also has them.

I’ve got me a Remington 1100 12 gauge the older one and I love it also got mine with a slug barrel so it’s an all around good gun

Great video man, these 1100s have a few little extra parts than my Weatherby SA-08 and you made it real clear!

Thanks for your clear and easy to understand video...recently got a 1100 ...did a clean up on it ...didnt realize to remove the stock and spring ...oohhh brother ...what a bunch of crap in their ...now its better ...👍👍👍

Thank you for this. I just traded a vacuum cleaner for an old 1100 and this video made it seem simple. Time to tear this gun apart

Awesome information ! I have had my 3inch 1100 for 30 yrs and it has served me well but it needs a little TLC thanks

thank for the history beforehand. Awesome video and thanks for sharing with us.

Very informative well explained. 5 stars good sir.

Thanks for the video man. I disassembled and cleaned my rifle by following step by step and it works perfectly. Greetings from Turkey..

Excellent video! I would like to see a video on how to re-stake the shell latch using the Remington tool.

Thank you so much for this video my father gave me his old 1100 from the 70s and it wouldn't cycle a new round replaced the o ring and cleaned it and hopefully next time I'm out it wont screw up on me while I'm hunting

This is my go to video for putting my gun back together. Lol thanks man

Thank you for this video, very clear, concise, and thorough. Keep the videos coming, it’ll give me a reason to keep buying guns.

Nothing like a good video to learn valuable information.

Thank you!! I recently cleaned my 1100 and for the first time removed the barrel, etc. i put it all back together and went to trap shoot, the trigger would not work and it would not fire! i had some people try to help me by removing the trigger assembly. It worked, but when put back in the assembly, it still didn't fire. I now realize i put the gas rings in backwards! oops... I see how to properly install them now, and it's working fine again, Thanks for the help!

Outstanding video. No bs comments just great info.

Great demonstration!!! Just what I needed. Thank you!

Thanks it was very helpful. I laughed and felt bad, when you forgot the part, said “don’t put in the pins you’re going to be mad”’.😄

This is a great video!! Thanks so much for including so much detail!

Great Video, I’ve taken mine apart 100 times. Gun needs to be clean and the parts need good lubricant. I watched the video cause I took it apart so fast, I forgot what order the Gaskets go in. I own two, one Trap Model, my boys own a couple as well. One day I might buy a new one, but until it completely falls apart I’ll keep shooting/cleaning it,

Did mine right along with you awesome..Great video Thanks..

Really good information simplified. Liked the comment about taking it to a professional lol Thanks

very informative. i did use hardware store O rings for years until just recently. Using a rifled slug barrel on mine the extractor spring and plunger blew out. I was careful to get what i saw as the exact same o ring but i’ll get the remington o rings just in case.

Thank you for the comprehensive video. At 11:55 you show the magazine spring retainer and associated spring and follower but do not remove them. I saw another video showing the retainer being pried out which I did not think was a great idea. Any comments on this area and possible maintenance would be great! Thanks again.

Thank you for the in depth video!!! Wouldn't trade my 1100 for anything

Very good video bro! Now I'm not so timid about taking apart my 1100 for a well deserved clean up!

Excelente presentación. Muchas gracias.

Thanks for sharing buddy, I was trying to clean my uncle shot which is different from my lol. Thanks 😊

Absolutely love the whole video really helped me out a lot only wish you would’ve said when putting in the trigger that the leaver had to be down struggled for like 20 minutes trying to do it

Thank you for explaining how to tear it down I was confused though when I put it back to get her when u almost forgot that part

Great, helpful video! Thanks for posting!

16:50 I knew you could do it! Nice job!

This was very useful for me especially bc i shoot trap wt an 1100 and I had no idea how to take it apart very useful. 👍🏻

Well explained and easy to follow.

Super video and cleaning process got one myself shots wonderful thanks again for video cleaning...

So, it’s the charging handle, nice. Now it’ll come apart and I’ll give it a good cleaning. Just picked up a special order 30” barrel, 3”mag, modified choke. Never had a semi shotgun because I’m not a semi auto guy. Buy it fell into my hands 👍🏻 And this OCD thing won’t allow it in the safe without full take down

Thanks a lot!!! Very informative and easy to follow :)

I found the o-rings @ Lowe’s and have far outlasted the rings from Remington at 1/10th the cost. The original o ring from Remington was stretched out and loose. The trigger group is actually not bad to work on, a little easier than a Mossberg.

Great video. Thank you. 👍👍👍

gotta swage the shell latch back in place on my 1972 model. i got the big bulbous safety button. i was pleasently surprised. you can push the safety off as u raise the gun with the side of your trigger finger. before you say it, yes it’s correctly installed and thers a positive click on and off. It’s a game changer for me. I prefer the Mossberg safety for the same reason but the remingtons fit me better.

Great job and description of the entire gun.

Bro, great job! Great for a guy like me that has a grasp on how guns work, but wants to watch it done before I go tearing into my old hand-me-down! It fired fine the one time it was out with me, went through 30-40 shells? Been too long...

because many guys seem to ask this question ... if you remove the bolt and pull the trigger (by mistake?) it will not fit back to its position it will stuck and wont be able to get back to its position ... you must disassembly the gun again and pull the hammer back manually ... then try again and it will work just fine

Nevermind, I found a shell latch re-stake vid. Thanks

Very well explained 👍

I love my 1100 20ga 3" mag with 28" full choke vent rib barrel.

best video many thanks

great video!!!

Get your info correct. I purchased my first 1100 magnum in 1974 which I still own. That barrel (3inch) functions flawlessly all the way down to 2 3/4 bird shot. I also have most every 2 3/4 barrel for it.

This video helped a lot.💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Great vid !

I Always put in the trigger group before the bolt assembly just kinda instinct to put it back together backwards

Thanks much for the video.. I have referred to it several times. R

Great video, really helpful with my 1100, one question, once you have that all apart what parts and where should you actually oil/Grease?

Great video, I have both 1100 and 11-87, I have a fail to feed/jamb occasionally on the 1100 and can't figure it out but I think it's in the trigger assembly group because when I put the 11-87 trigger group in the 1100 it works fine and after watching your video I don't think I want to mess with the trigger assembly, a new one is about $120.00, thanks

They have never made a 3-1/2" version of the 1100. Many 3" models will cycle 2-3/4" loads down to 1-1/8 ounce field loads, but it is gun specific. All "Magnum" models will cycle fine with either 2-3/4" Magnums or 3" Magnums. The shell latch does not have to be staked in for the gun to function just fine. It is for ease of assembly. The last time I had a Shell latch come loose I just Superglued it back in place. That was about 8 or 9 years ago and now I don't remember which one it was. I will never stake another one, and I have the staking tool.

its a "link", its a very common part to break on the 1100. not sure about the 3inch only gun, but i have a 2 3/4 inch only that i shoot 3inch through all the time. i think all the internal parts are exactly the same.

Just bought one today for my first hunting gun.

nice well explained video thank you

Good video!

What year was your 1100 made? Thanks for the video.

Favorite trap gun

very good info

This really helped out with my 12 auto, as stated they are the exact same gun. Surprisingly enough I cannot find a single part listed for a 12 auto. Any thoughts or recommendations on looking for original parts or will it interchange entirely with the 1100

great video - I've been told that lubricating 1100 is not necessary, what is your opinion on this and if you should lub it where - thank you again for this video

Good job

Awesome help, much appreciated

if you ask for a viton high temp oring at the auto parts store its exactly the same oring remington uses. you just have to ask for the right type

Great video! I noticed when disassembling my 1100 the cup actually ended up in receiver with a portion of the spring after removing the recoil link/bar. I was able to reinstall through the back of the gun via the action tube like your video shows but wanted to make sure this happening does indicate any sort of damaged or worn part.

Great video, thanks! BTW, where could I get the tool you used to remove the 2 trigger pins, and what is it called?

I've just inherited a 1975 Remington 1100 3" magnum. My great grandfather bagged many pheasants with this gun, then gave it to my father some time in the early 80's, who bought a 26" Hasting 3" magnum rifled deer slug barrel for it. This video was instrumental in finding out why it wouldn't cycle rounds: a bent interceptor spring. Easy enough, but can you tell me the best way to install a new spring without damaging it? Additionally, what might have caused the interceptor spring to bend? Everything looks good after stripping and cleaning. I'm looking to turn this into something like the Black Aces Tactical Vintage 18.5" model, but I'm having a hard time finding an 18.5" barrel in 3" magnum. Can you point me to a good source for parts? Do you recommend cutting down the original 30" barrel to 18.5" and adding a +2 mag extension? Forgive my ignorance; this gun is clearly marked 3" Magnum. Can it fire 2 3/4" shells?? My shoulder wants to know!

thank you for very nice video.You dont take out the feed lact and i hope is easy for me.

Thanks!

Thanks so much. For some reason I am unable to open the bolt on the chamber to reassemble. Any tips?

Thanks for sharing this procedure and information. It's not a right sear it's the secondary sear which all similar style semi autos have. The secondary sear prevents the gun from firing until you release the trigger otherwise you will go full auto. FYI

5 Stars! Thanks

Thank you for the instruction - my 1100 field grade (3-inch magnum) will not cycle shells (3-inch). I sent it back to Remington and they said it was fixed and it still wouldn't cycle shells. I sent it back again and same thing, wouldn't cycle shells. They threw up their hands and said it needed a new receiver, that it was just plain worn out. I looked for years and still haven't found a receiver for it. Any advice? Could it be as simple as a new gas ring? Where do you buy those? Any idea where to find a new receiver? Thanks!

It’s a magnum shotgun made in the 1970s mine was a 1976 model and only shoots hi brass 2 3/4”. -3” shells. Heavy 7 pounds but will shoot with a 10 guage duck hunting any day.

i gave you thum up, and i appriciate you r grait job, salot .

life saver

Thanks for the video. I'm having a problem with my 1100 jamming with the bolt closed. If you load a round it gets jammed so you can't open the bolt. It looks like the extractor is leaving gouges on the shell. I changed the extractor but it's still jamming. Could it be the bolt needs to be replaced?

So after taking it apart a putting it back together, the hammer if you will in the trigger group does not unload, almost as it is broken. But it is sitting in place and as well if I press up on the loading mechanism to shoot the slide back into place and then it unloads the trigger group. Any thoughts or comments?

While attempting to put my trigger assembly back in, i had a small metal arm fall out of the receiver, it didnt break off but it wasnt shown in the video. I think its the piece you press in to clear the bolt. Not exactly sure where it goes or how to put it back. Also, when i re-installed the bolt, it would slide all the way back to its correct position, but it would not lock in place. I could still pull it all the way out and remove it, not sure if thats ok or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My barrel doesn't want to come back in. The gun has never been fired, no visible damage besides a bit of surface rust, but it's not able to slot back in. It seems to be sticking on a little slot that's supposed to help keep the barrel in line right now.

You mention that the standard and magnum versions of the 1100 are not interchangeable due to porting differences. I have a Remington 1100 20 gauge mag. - 3 in shells. Can I effectively "convert" my gun from 3" to 2 3/4" standard loads by replacing the cycling spring to a weaker spring?
