Remington 1100 and steel shot ?

don't shoot it in a full choke on older gun

Got my 1100 when I was 14. Tha was 35 years ago. Been shooting 3 in magnums, # 4 steel shot since it became mandatory. Never had any issues with it.

I am not really sure of the age of it but it is a modified choke. Going to try to find out how old it is.
It is in excellent shape and paid $200 for it. Couldn't pass it up.

That's awesome I love a good 1100

Dads wingmaster from the late 70's has a fixed modified 28" barrel and patterns everything extremely well.

Yup, mine has a mod barrel on it with no threads. I believe it is from the late 60s/early 70s

How can I find out the age of it?

You can find some websites that show how the S/N were stamped for each year. Unfortunately I couldn't find mine on there

Here's a random one LINK. I'm not pulling mine out to check the S/N on that website, but I've checked a couple of other ones, and it wasn't there

I've got a 20 gauge and a 12 gauge . How do you tell what kind of barrel you have?

Thanks! I will check it out tonight.

Been shooting 3 inch mag BB shot through my full choke 1100 for 20 years and never had a problem

I bought my 1100 in 1971. I thought it to be reliable because I previously used a Model 12 20 guage. Last season was the first time that I duck hunted in several years. I simply did not have the range of the other hunters and did not attempt pass shots. The folks at Gator Guns in Sulphur, LA told me that the barrell was not designed for steel shot and why it could be unsafe using them. Give them a call.

I purchased a Benelli for this upcoming season but used the 20 guage for the teal hunts.
