As stated it is a 1100 20 Gauge serial number 149XX1X it has a non vent rib modified barrel, A release trigger, Wood is in good shape bluing is about 85% no pitting barrel is straight. So I guess my first question would be what year was she made, Are parts ie: Barrels, Triggers etc. available for what ever model this is I have read that there is a 20 gauge LT & LW can't figure out what this one is. The guy I bought her from shot trap with her and she wears a Pachmayer trap recoil pad. That is about all I can figure out. I paid $325.00 for her she shoots great but I would like to get a different barrel (Mirages sucked) and loose the release trigger (Just not my thing) Thank You in advance for any information that you guys/gals could provide to this Remington Newbie. |
I have read all the posts I could find here on the Society web site as well as the wonderful article on the history of the Model 1100 and the manufacture date information yet with all of that very helpful information I am still stumped by the Model 1100 that I have here. There are some confounding bits of information that that seem to contradict all of the descriptions I found so far. Any help and insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
First, this Model 1100 has an engraved receiver inlaid with gold but it is not in a hunting scene as described for '1 of 3000' models or 'Ducks Unlimited' models. The engraving is scrollwork inlaid with gold.

The stock is walnut and the checkering is hand cut. The wood looks better than average and there is what looks like a rosewood cap on the grip. The butt pad is perhaps not original and is fairly thick and vented and labeled 'Pachmayr Gun Works, Los Angeles Calif.'
The left side of the barrel is stamped with a sideways 'V' then 'OY' followed by an 'H' which sits a little higher and out of line from the 'OY.' So the barrel marking looks something like '> OY H' I made the assumption that this meant the barrel was manufactured in July 1974 based on the manufacturing date information here on the web site but I am not sure. I have no idea how old the gun is and it came into my possession around 1990.Now the really strange thing is the serial number which, according to everything I have read here, should begin at 1001. However, the serial number of the left side of the receiver is clearly '271V'. This does not line up with any information I have found to date and seems extraordinarily low.
The barrel appears to be a 30' and is stamped with '12ga. for 2 3/4 or shorter shells' and in smaller letters there is a stamping that says 'FULL' which I assume to be the choke.
I am not sure what else to tell you folks that might help identily this shotgun. It really has me perplexed and I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks so much,
