Had the local gunshop have a look at it and $160 bucks and almost a month later they gave it back. Unfortunately i didnt take her out right away and after one succesful cycle the problem was back. UGH. Im not going to bother taking it back there since its a 45 min drive one way. I just want to pack it up, and send it to a gun smith that knows his remington shotguns.

The problem:

After the first shot the finger that releases the round i believe is supposed to also stop the rest of the rounds from flying into the chamber.. Well it dont. One shot fired and then everybody is invited.. Creating an ugly jam.

I would attempt remedying the issue if knew exactly which parts to replace. Im just interested in having someone FIX THE THING. So guys, whos the best shotgun surgeon around?
 
Sounds like the shell stop is allowing more than one cartridge, ie 'the whole party', past it & onto the elevator/shell carrier...

That's what I would look at... And, try different ammo...

I would also ask the 'gunsmith' just what they did to the gun... Sounds like they don't know what they are doing & maybe didn't even test fire it after the 'repair'...

Cheers

The problem is likely the INTERCEPTOR LATCH located on the inside left receiver wall. This is a common problem with well used 1100's.
The latch must toggle but not have much lateral play. A thicker retaining clip "INTERCEPTOR LATCH RETAINER" may work (Brownells)

Agree. Not hard to see the vintage of the modern gunsmiths to miss that one on the OP's gun.

FENCE POLE?? HUMM
Probally the most influential gas-operated shotgun that ever came along and way way back in 1963 which many forget. It was the Remington 1100 in fact that began the gas-operated shotgun era, long before any of the B boys figured out how to make a competitive autoloader. Like the experts say the Remington 1100 was good-looking, affordable, and fit most shooters well right out of the box. Although I never seen any numbers which is understandable but for us that lived that era know for sure there has never been another shotgun that won more comptitions than a Remington 1100and are still very popular with many shooters today. I wonder if anyone will even remember my browning gold in another 20 years.. Most don't now
 
Heres a quote for you 3macs
"the 1100 is the winner of more US skeet and trap championships than any other auto loader"

Im sure things have changed a bit since that book was written but from what I see when I'm at shoots the 1100 is still very popular!
 
The described situation is identical to that which would occur with the disconnector out of position.
Before going to the trouble of shipping the gun, remove the trigger assembly and ensure that the tail of the disconnector is positioned below the left connector.

Would not suprise me if it was still not on the top of the list. Like you say go to any club today and there are still a ton of them being used.
 
I have owned many and I used to shoot a Tournament Trap model that was modded with Timney trigger and Baker barrel. No matter how much you changed to better parts one thing always held true......it was still an 1100 and that meant you had best carry a spare parts chest and tools if you wanted to get through a tournament. The 1100 is the equivalent to the 66 Bombardier Nordic, shoot it (ride it) for a day, fix it for the rest of the week. They are the preferred choice of Ohio farmers as lightning rods though and of course my wallet no longer has an indelible ring in it from carrying a spare o-ring.
