Yep it's me with a Remington question. My 1100 3" is an older one made back in the 70's when a Remy was still a true Remy. Anyway it won't eject the fired shells. I took it apart cleaned it tried it again and it shot the frist and loaded the 2nd fired and wounldn't eject the spent shell all the way. I've never taken the thing completely apart,just removed the trigger group cleaned it and the barrel and wiped down where the piston slides back anf forth. Am I missing somthing? |

Just had one to the smith with the same problem. Needed a good general cleaning and a new o-ring on the piston. $25 for the stripdown cleaning and the o-ring. Now it shoots like new. RD

I use the piston assembly from an 1187 on mine. Also changing the o-ring (gas seal) every season will keep it from short stroking. One thing you may want to do is make sure that the external part of the magazine tube is spotless. It accumulates old oil and unburned powder. This is also a major contributor to short stroking, especially on a frosty morning..........Kingpin

Ok I took it and cleaned the bejeebers out of the slide and everything else I could. Looks like a barrel before bluing,well close After loading two and chambering the first and loading the third. I fired it, the bolt came back about 1/2" and stopped,slid it on out by hand chambered the next fine,shot it and the same thing. Took it apart tried to see something obvious,it all looked fine. Put it back together loaded up,same thing. Now this ain't a new one,this is my older one,it's one of the first ones when they started chambering for 3" and it's been pampered all it's life.Is dead?????? Edited by Tikkabuck |

Tikka, make sure that the piston isn't lined up with the conical bushing. Remember, flat side down, cone into the piston. Like a car, the rings can't be aligned. Also, another check is the gas port. If you are shooting low brass loads, it's possible that you aren't getting enough gas if the barrel is chambered 3". Another thing to look for is to remove the stock and remove the action spring and clean the tube out. You'd be surprised at what accumulates in that tube. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes...................Kingpin

Well still a no go. Gas port is clean,new "O"/barrel seal. Bushing are together like they show in the book,still nothing with low base or high base.2 3/4 or 3". The first one loaded put one in the magazine,shoot the first bolt don't even move,eject it by hand load the second. Now with nothing left in the tube, one time I fired the last shell and it ejected.one time couldn't get it to do it again. I did notice that the bushing's,or pistons,slide freely along magazine tube,until they get to the barrel where the seal is at,they where a little tite getting in there,smooth them down some with fine crokess cloth. Tried again no good. |

Since it's a 3" barrel, I am betting that there is only 1 port in the barrel. It should not cycle low brass rounds under any circumstances generally. If it did at one time, you have a freak. A 2 3/4" barrel will just slip into place and I will check to see if I have one laying around. Anyway, it sure sounds like something that I need "hands on" to investigate, since you obviously checked out all the afore mentioned problem areas......................Kingpin

check the o-ring, my dad's 1100 was given to my nephew, we where shooting trap and it started to short cycle, took it apart and found the o-ring had split, cost him a couple of bucks at the range house and after replacement it worked perfectly! just and old worn out o-ring! |

Tikka, I had a similar problem with a 5500 Mossberg. I found out that the weld between the bolt and the action bars had come loose. It was rough enough to grab once in a while to spit one out but other wise the action bar just popped off the bolt and cycled all by it's lonesome self leaving the bolt in place. RD

Tried 3" this morning,same thing back about 1/2" and thats as far as it goes. It's got to be a gas problem the action when worked by hand is nice and smooth don't feel no hang ups or ruff spots. I wonder if the piston and bushing could just flat need replacing?

OK Tika. I got rid of my 1100s years ago. They are very good shotguns, just got to heavy for field use. I went to pump guns. But having worked on many and converter many to 3 inch and back to the low brass, I've got to believe that the piston parts are in wrong. I tried to sketch some out but found a good site with pictures. Try it. I remember having an 1100 brought to me to fix and it took only moments to refit the parts. If the gun was used for thousands of rounds of trap or skeet, the piston and seal could be worn; but I seriously doubt it. Good luck. http://www.refugeforums.com/refuge/showthread.php?s=76dc3c03 4f63f94b4550b188c363ed9c&threadid=70691 BEAr |

Tikkabuck....I have one of those older Remingtons in the vault, it does NOT do 2&3/4 inch shells OK. Mine gave me some problems 4 years ago (it is an early 70 -71 model) and I cleaned it and installed new 0-rings twice. It does OK now with 3 inch shells. I only have about 1200 rounds through that shotgun.

Tikka, let me know what you need, I have a new action bar, 1187 piston set and a few O rings (technically called barrel seals) laying around. I also have a trigger assembly if necessary. I need you to get about the business of killing ducks as soon as possible. This column has escaped me for a while, sorry................................Kingpin
