1968 Rem 1100 20ga

Post by Auriemma »

Hi All, I'm fairly new to shotguns. Took up Trap Nov, 2024, now have (3) 12 gauges (Single, O/U, Semi), all for clays. I do not hunt.

A friend's father passed and left her his gun collection. I bought 3 from her. One is a 1968 Remington 1100 Standard, 20 gauge, 28", vented rib, in 99% condition. Assuming its a 1968 (CR barrel date code, serial 44_ _ _ _ X). Pristine is a great word for it. Perfect condition for a 57 year old gun.

Well... took the old girl (1968) out and ran 50 rounds thru her. 20/25 both rounds. Not bad for never shooting it before. For a 20ga, she kicked a little harder than expected (plastic butt plate, not complaining), shooting Winchester AA, 1oz, #8, 1165 fps. The rubber band on the ejection port gave me a bit of trouble at the first station, but after I sorted that. No issues. Overall she shot very well. Nice vintage shotgun.
