The Model 1100 LW is the small-frame, lightweight configuration built specifically for sub-gauges. This example is chambered in 28 gauge with the J-suffix confirming the 28-gauge small-frame receiver. The steel receiver is blued and factory-engraved with scrollwork on the flanks, giving it a refined factory-correct appearance.
The 25 in steel barrel features a ventilated rib and a fixed Full choke, paired with a front bead sight for a clean sight picture. It is chambered for 2 3/4 in shells. Barrel markings include the date code "CC" with an auxiliary "H" on the shank, indicating April 1985 production.
Operation is semi-automatic and gas-operated with a 4+1 capacity. The length of pull measures 14.0 in, and the gun is classified as full-size while built on the lighter, sub-gauge receiver format.
Stock and fore-end are walnut with a gloss finish, fleur-de-lis checkering, and a pistol-grip profile, complemented by a classic white-line spacer. The fore-end is likewise walnut, matching the receiver’s polished blued finish for a cohesive factory look.
Provenance includes the original green Remington box with a matching end label noting the model, gauge, barrel length, choke, and serial suffix coding. Documentation visible with the gun includes a Remington Model 1100 LT-20 Owner's Manual, and a magazine tube capacity plug is included.
