re: Older Remington 1100 info

We took our 1100s (late 70s and early 80s models) to Argentina dove hunting in 2003. When we got there the outfitter told us to leave them at the lodge and that he would give us Berettas to use at no charge. Because the 1100s would jam after a couple of hours.
We took him up on the Berettas. But they jammed. We had our 1100s in the field with us. So we switched to them. We ended up shooting them for the majority of the 5 days. My father and I killed 8,000 birds with them. The bird boys cleaned them after every hunt and they did great.
The members of our party who shot the lodge issued Berettas dealt with way more breakdowns and jams than we did. I'm not saying that is normal, but it was our experience.
The 1100s from that era are awesome guns. Enjoy yours.

That's an awesome story (not being sarcastic). Some of my company owners own a dove lodge in Argentina, and I think that's what they shoot as well. My direct boss is a competitive sporting clays shooter and has been shooting a newer customized 1100 for the past couple years.
Should I go ahead and shoot this 1100 or keep it in the safe? I shoot a browning maxus, but tbh the 1100 shoulders really nicely. It hasn't been fired In probably 30 years if I had to guess.
