Needed a soft shooting shotgun for trap.Had a triple bypass and my sternum is still sensitive to stress.From what I've been reading this shot gun should be good for me.Just ordered it so it will take a while to get here.Ordering a shell catcher from Brownells so I won't be bugging people or picking up empties all the time.Any advice for this firearm would be appreciated!https://www.remington.com/shotguns/autoloading/model-1100/model-1100-competition-synthetic
 
I had one for a couple of years. I found after shooting a station I had to hand tighten the choke tube as they seem to loosen off. There is another shooter that uses the same gun and has to tighten his tubes too. Sold and wished I didn’t.

When I got the 1100 other shooters told me I should have spare parts. So I ordered a lot of spare parts. They still sit in their packages, never had a broken part on the gun.

Google Remington 1100 notes. I used a lot of these suggestions. Specifically running it lightly oiled and a little grease on the barrel extension. I also cleaned it after every use, is used scotch pads (green) to clean the gas piston.

I also used a shell catcher (birchwood casey).

I have a 1100 Field that I've put 4150 rounds through without replacing any parts, and had an 1100 Competition for under 1000 rounds before selling it. It is true that they have almost no recoil and as long as you keep it clean you'll never have an issue with it. My competition, along with two others I've seen all have loose choke issues to the point where you had to retighten after every shot. If you're ok with including that into your pre/post shot routine it's not a big deal.
 
I got one....Pretty sure you will like it.Soft recoil,you bet ,put the light springs in and just keep the guides lightly lubed.As for the chokes coming loose,ya, they do but I grease my chokes and purposely keep them hand tight and is a habit to check while moving from station to station.

As for regular cleaning...I wanted to see how many rounds I can shoot before any grief...about 2500Ish,problem,carbon buildup on gas ring.If you want to shoot in the winter,ya,keep it cleaner and hold the lube..

Keep a supply of o rings ...don't buy cheap o rings,get the correct ones.A gas ring,firing pin spring,extractor..and a pickle fork.If you feel rich buy a trigger group,when you do have a problem it's two pins and you back at her.


I know SOME guys whine when they see that there is a semi coming to the line,they jockey for positions to get away from you,a shell might touch them..I don't worry so much if you shoot lite loads as they land forward to the rite.If you want a shell catcher use the clip on,the wire one kinda gets goofy with any amount of shooting.

Thanks for the info!I hope I made the right choice,sounds like I did.Don't mind the loose choke tubes and keeping it clean routine.Every gun has it's idiosyncrasies.What's a pickle fork?
