What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 20 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Built in the 1974–1977 timeframe, this Model 1100 is the standard-frame 20 gauge configuration from before the LW/LT-20 transition. It is a gas-operated, semi-automatic design with right-side ejection and a bottom loading port, paired with a tubular magazine rated at 4+1 and a knurled magazine cap.
The steel barrel has been cut down to 23 inches and retains a ventilated rib with a matted surface for glare reduction. It wears a front bead and a mid-bead for straightforward sighting. The barrel is stamped MOD; however, because the barrel has been cut to 23 inches, the actual choke constriction is not asserted. Chamber length is 2 3/4 inches.
The receiver is steel with a blued finish and factory-applied scroll engraving. The stock and forend are gloss walnut with pressed checkering in a fleur-de-lis pattern. A Remington-logo hard rubber buttplate with a white-line spacer complements the setup. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Proof and inspection markings include the Remington REP oval proof and additional inspector stamps. Overall fit and classic lines reflect U.S. manufacture in the 1970s, with materials and features consistent with period production.
