I just located another 12ga Remington 1100 with L prefix then 00 and then 4 low digits for the serial number. Remington also told me today that mine did not exist in their records either. The only 2 things I find different or kinda out of the ordinary run of the mill 1100 is it has the full choke vent ribbed 28 inch barrel instead of usual 30.

I'm confused as to how to date this gun. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the 1100 would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly 410.
What I know it's a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 with a full ribbed barrel. I'm unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel. If I pull it out it measures at 33in.
What I'd like to know is how old it is. I know my father purchased it before 1980.
The receiver has the serial 491**V, I understand V to mean 12 gauge. There aren't any prefix codes to the serial.
The barrel has the code AFKI or AFK1, I'm unsure as the stamping is messy.
If no one can help me that's fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there's a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. Because of this I've been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven't tried shooting it as I'd be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the 410 and wants to shoot something bigger. As I remember this was a nice ladies gun with a minimal kick but it's been over 20 years since I shot it at the local turkey shoot, still don't need any turkeys.

Some guns don’t age as well as others. We might look at the design choices from decades ago and wonder how they were ever considered practical. There are others who look so dated that they don’t even resemble anything you could call a weapon.

Quick Navigation

Then, there are the classics that age like a fine wine. One such weapon is the Remington 1100 shotgun. Even though it has been around for a while, we thought it would be fun to take a look at why it has withstood the test of time. Good guns come and go, but the Remington 1100 is a slice of Americana that will live forever.

The Remington 1100 shotgun was first released in 1963, when designer Wayne Leek wanted to make a follow-up to the 58 and 878 shotguns. The 1100 is a gas-operated semi-automatic, eliminating the severe recoil that came with most of the Remington pump-action family members.

To this day, there are still 1100 models in production. There are currently over 4 million Remington 1100s in circulation, culminating in a beautifully-crafted 50th anniversary edition in 2013.

The Remington 1100 is a consistent top-seller in big stores across the United States. It’s still a go-to weapon of choice for professional skeet shooters, as well as private citizens interested in keeping their homes free from invasion.

While the Remington 1100 has been around since the 1960s, there has been a healthy amount of competition and technological advancement since its debut. Does it still stand the test of time, and should you invest in something whose design outdates many professional shooters? Let’s take a look at the design features.

Design

The Remington 1100 looks like an older shotgun. This can be a positive or a negative depending on your personal taste in gun design. Personally, we think it looks delightfully classic. While the Remington 1100 has been outshined by other semiautomatics in practical features and additional modifications, very few shotguns have come close to simply looking as beautiful as this gun.

After owning this gun for a good amount of time, you may notice some degradation to the metal and wood finishes. This is to be expected with such a versatile weapon, as you can take the Remington 1100 with you in almost any environment. It’s a tribute to the design of the gun as to how versatile and flexible the Remington 1100 is. You can win a trophy for trap shooting, and in the same breath, hunt an elk that could keep you fed for months.

The stocks on an older Remington hold up well after decades of exposure to elements and wear and tear. You’ll notice some engravings on the bolt and receiver, which we think is a lovely touch that you never see anymore in a high-class weapon.

If you like, you can replace the butt stocks that will deteriorate over time. Remington made this very simple, which helps since the buttstocks are one of the first things to go on the 1100. If you know your way around simple gun maintenance, this won’t be a problem for you.

Dependence

The Remington 1100 has stood out among its peers for a good reason. Although reliability can fluctuate depending on the amount of use you put into the Remington, you’ll find that this shotgun holds up better than a huge majority of its competitors.

The rubber o-ring that comes with a gas-operated semiautomatic will inevitably break down as you continue to use your shotgun for years. There are cases where people report their o-rings last for decades, never needing any replacement. For many others, though, the o-rings need to be maintained before anything else happens to the gun.

Without being able to modify the amount of gas that goes into the barrel with each shot, you won’t be able to change the system to accommodate different strengths of shells. If you’re not deep into customization options, this shouldn’t affect you, but be aware if you’re used to swapping parts. The Remington 1100 was released at a time when modifications weren’t as prevalent as they are today.

If you do find that your o-rings need replacing, they are very affordable. If your usual store is out of stock for the Remington 1100, you can swap them out with a generic #21 Viton version instead.

Versions

The Remington 1100 comes in a couple different variations. You can find a 2 ¾” and 3” version, and you’ll begin to notice some of the differences between pump-action shotguns and semi-automatic shotguns here. The latter only handles one type of ammo on a consistent basis, preferring to stick with heavy or light ammo without changing between the two in the same session.

If you insist on finding a version of the Remington 1100 that accepts more than one kind of ammo, you can search for the Versa-Max. You might consider swapping out a barrel if you’re dead-set on different shell lengths, but we think you’re better off with one shotgun and one barrel.
