Here's the package deal 1973 Reminton1100. Stamped TRAP on the right side of receiver. Receiver date code starts with L which was used for a few years so I used the barrel code dates to determine the year of birth. It looks like the gun was shot just a few hundred shells, cleaned, then put away. TWO 30" barrels, both with center beads and white Bradley fronts. Both are date stamped WX so August 1973 mfg. First is stamped FULL. I don't think the previous owner ever used this barrel. You can't see even a slight mark on the extractor slot. The bore is a mirror and the bluing is 99.5% The second barrel is stamped MOD TRAP. It shows some light marks on the extractor slot and some shiny spots on the barrel extension from going into the receiver. I would rate this barrel a touch below the FULL one. The bore is perfect and the bluing would be 99%. The checkering and RKW finish on the wood is terrific. The wood is typical 1970's Remington. Not D or F grade but has some nice grain to it. The checkering is as sharp as the old pressed style can be. As I stated, I don't think this was shot very much. Of course the white spacer on the pistol grip cap has yellowed slightly. The Red Remington pad is still soft. I would rate the receiver metal the same 99% but for the VERY LIGHT rub marks left by the infamous "Teflon coated" metal shell catcher. The catcher is in the original bag and will of course be included along with a few extra rings for the gas system. Also includes a gold trigger shoe that fits this model. As you can see in the pic of the bolt face there haven't been many rounds through this shotgun. You also get an extra trigger. It is a Schwab but NOT A RELEASE. It is stamped '72. The problem I found with it was that is light enough that sometimes when you send the bolt home the hammer follows and the trigger will not fire. You will have to have this fixed on your dime. I have taken that into consideration when pricing this package. Lastly you get the case pictured. It could very well be a *Browning case (looks like one) but there isn't a label or emblem on it. There ARE 2 keys with it. It is also in terrific condition. No scratches or tears, just a few small spots and rub marks. * The case is a Hartmann, they made cases for Browning. Thanks to The Unloader for the information. Overall this is a really nice example of the older Remington target shotguns. You could take this one to the club and I'm sure you would get a lot of "WOW, where the heck did you find that" remarks. You of course have the 3 day NON FIRING period for inspection. $1150.00 plus shipping/Ins. to your FFL I will not sell the barrels separately. You get the gun, both barrels, the case, and the Schwab trigger. At the 10 picture limit so if you need more pics please ask. Thanks
That's as nice a 1100 as you will find anywhere !!! That's a HARTMAN case. They made them for Browning. Very desirable !! ( Approx $350--$400 USED !! )
Since we have so many new members posting, thank you all very much, I have to bring this to the top more often.
Thanks If I cycle the bolt 10 times 5 or 6 of those tests result in the trigger not functioning. It moves back when I pull it but the sear wont trip and it feels like the gun is not cocked. I know it is because if I pull the bolt handle back an just an inch or so and let it reseat it works with a nice crisp trigger pull. Maybe something with the sear because I don't think pulling the bolt back just that little bit is enough to cock the hammer if it wasn't already cocked. Odd and frustrating that it works half the time. I would take to my gunsmith, who is a great friend that I have known for 47 years, and he would work on it right away but I also know he is busy with custom work and I don't want to impose on him. Probably a simple fix and somebody is going to get a really nice Schwab trigger for next to nothing.
