So I am working on my buddies dad's Remington 1100 right now. He sent me an email quoted as follows:
"This is the part of my Remington 1100 that keeps falling off. It's about 3 inches. It's the part that keeps the shells in the magazine. I was told the post that supports it has to be replaced because the split washer won't stay on to keep the piece in place."
When my buddy delivered the shotgun, he handed over the gun, and the interceptor latch in a ziplock bag. No retainer to be found. So I have never worked on one of these guns before, but having taken it apart, I don't see how the post the latch is seated on could be the problem, since it's integral to the receiver and the groove for the retainer appears fine. Seems to me that all that is needed to get this gun in working order is a new retainer, but since I don't really know what I am doing, I am deferring to the expertise here. Am I on the right path?
