It is a big deal, customer service is huge. The jig cost 42 bucks and with the number of guns in my collection it pays for itself with 3 rifles. Ten minutes of your time or 85 bucks of a gunsmith's time.
#DECODING REMINGTON 1100 3 MAGNUM INSTALL#
Finish sanding pad with 300 grit wet/dry paper and armour all untill smooth finish then install the finished pad. Make sure you don't go overboard on sanding and check fit to stock. Sand off pad material for the toe angle then adjust jig to 90 degrees and sand the sides and top of pad. Mount the pad to the gun, trace the outline of the stock onto the underside of the pad, mount pad to the jig, adjust jig for toe angle. The jig and a table top sander makes the work take about 10 minutes to fit a pad. It will allow me to get hands on the barrel before buying.Īs for the recoil pad, I got a jig from midway. That can be good or bad depending on the size of your bank account. No problem on the barrel, Cabelas is about 5 miles south of where I live. I spent 30 years making paper out of trees, and the wood is always looking to get even. If you can fit recoil pads well, you are one up on me. I just didn't remember them back in the sixties that short. If you say it's a 26' Modified barrel, I believe you. When I asked Cabela's and BassPro (Brownell's knew what they had) for the Remington part number back when I was looking for one, it turned out it was the standard contour barrel they had, so I had to go straight to Remington, and i had to wait a bit. Glad for you, but I would encourage you to double check and make sure it is the Light or Target Contour barrel. Other then replacing the barrel for a rem choke barrel, I will be putting on a decellerator pad to replace the factory black but plate and best of all I can do all the fitting of the pad(did on 2 custom mausers I built from frame up, stock and metel work).

I have found one this morning at cabelas for 249 which will come home come pay day. Measures 26 inches and it is a factory barrel stamped modified and mikes at modified with vented rib.Īs far as 'reasonable price' then 250 bucks is in the ball park(and yes I am one of those that will dicker over price to save money thats why my 30ft travel trailer cost 20g's less then msrp and my truck 23g's less then sticker) for a barrel. I had one, and have a five digit, and Remington says it doesn't exist. And no matter what Remington says, they did start numbering them in the low four digits. Are you sure it still mikes modified? What's the barrel code? Rough estimate, would be 1968 based on count. I don't think I ever saw a 26' modified tube back then, but it has been 47 years. No prefix means manufactured prior to 1968. 'V' suffix indicates 12 gauge 2-3/4' gun.

That 1979 is a 'v' barrel code, not serial number. I grew up with an old remington 1100 16ga, that was my granfathers. Also any sources for a factory rem choked barrel at a reasonable price?
#DECODING REMINGTON 1100 3 MAGNUM SERIAL NUMBER#
The serial number 52#v indicates, if i have read right, that the gun was made in 1979 based on the 'v' in the serial number.Īny help would be appreceiated.

Question- how to find out the manufacturing date. The gun shows no wear at the muzzle from having been fired allot(no blueing missing or faded) not a mark on the original wood. Modified barrel 26' long over all the gun is in 95% condition, bluing perfect and original end to end. My mother has shot an 1100 since the mid 60's when they first came out(bought for 45 buck from a used car dealer) and I have shot it in the past but I have always wanted my own. The shotguns are an 870 that I inherited from my granddad and restored to factory new condition and a premeir 1187(bought first year they came out) but have never owned an 1100.

I have owned many remington rifles and 2 reimington shotguns. Hi everyone, I usually hang out on the CZ forum but I had to ask a question.
