Where are all the Remington 1100 shotguns?

Great gun for the average shooter not so much for a high round count competition shooter they needed dozens of parts to keep operating. But most shoot them well and at the price point were a bargan. I have more than a few and still use them on a regular basis.

Leo Harrison III shot an 1100 for years. I saw him at the Grand American in those days and he carried a tackle box stuffed full of new parts in packages with him from post to post. You'd see him sitting at a table swapping parts when needed or doing repairs. Nice thing back then was you could drop your gun off at the Remington factory booth and the gunsmiths would do a complete service on your gun for free. All you paid for was any parts. I had an 1100T Grade Trap that kept snapping bolt forks every 2500 rounds. Cost me $29 to have the gun completely gone through. It didn't snap another fork after that. Turned out the rebound spring was shot.
 
Remington will probably end up as a zombie brand. Bought by some other company for pennys on the dollar with everything being made overseas and rebranded.

Not looking good for the 1100/11-87 parts supply unless someone else starts making them the way many other companies make 870’s

What is the downside here Trap Gun Full Choke ?. $300 that is the beauty of these guns always have been affordabe and for the most part most shoot them well. Todays $3000 plus autooader prices are just stupid .

The 1100 was a big step forward for autoloaders when they were introduced they were affordabe and reliable most shot them well. Remingtons demise left a big hole in the working mans affordabe gun market. The Turkie product doesn't cut it for a lot of gunnies.
