What are you shooting?
I've used Remy 1100's my entire life (until I found Beretta in Argentina), and low brass was always a problem unless I took them apart and scrubbed and cleaned the bejesus out of them. Even the tiniest of particles in the gas ports would hinder ejection and auto loading of low brass.
Hmm...My Browning Gold eats everything. Ditto for my 11-87....
I haven't dove hunted with it in years, but my old 1100 20ga never had a problem with the old low-brass....Lord knows I scared many a dove with it in my youth....

If I had to pick one animal to hunt for the rest of my life, it'd be Ducks
I agree. Hence the username.

Braggart!
The I-12 like other Inertia Drives have a HEFTY Recoil Spring. They do not like LowBrass Low Power Loads. Just a fact of life. I saw a poor chap last year ready to break his SBE II over his knee b/c it would not cycle Rem. Nitro Target Loads at a PAID Sporting Clays shoot. I told him, dude you've got a 3.5" Waterfowl Gun trying to shoot Low Power #8's. Aint' gunna happen.
Actually the Rem. 1100 problem wasn't found out until years later. It's not the filthiness of the gun/shells fired,
it was the weakness of the Gas Ring assembly. If not changed every few thousand shells, they would begin to FTL Low Power loads.
The sets they sell now are better made and last thousands more shells.
Cost $25 from Midway
If you put these three items in ANY older Rem. 1100. It will run substantially better.

I did that to 72' Model and it runs like a charm. Shot a 100 shell brick of those Cheap Wal-mart Winchesters through it without a single failure. That Rem. 1100 with the 30" barrel is Sweet Shooter.
...but with these parts installed

I figured that was the case. That's why I didn't mess with it and swapped out to a pump. I can accept that fact of life since she does everything else I need her to do.
Would be nice to get the practice in on the gun I will actually shoot. So I'll just buy higher power loads for target practice and rub some Ben- Gay on my shoulder

Interesting! I do still love using them too! There ain't a better gun for shooting bunnies than a 20 gauge Lt 1100; well maybe a .410 1100!
Good research about gun stuff! You trying to suck up to JR?
Then you'll have to go High-End Gas
.... like I did.Good research about gun stuff! You trying to suck up to JR?
I think I've always been thorough, with that in which I actually KNOW.
I just got sucked into the OFF TOPIC/Current Events drain hole for a long time
b/c work was REALLY slow
and I was bored.Now, I'm trying to avoid the Off Topic Thread like the plague!
..and do my part to speak about more Firearms/Sportsman stuff.
