Re: Remington 1100 tactical
I usually start feeling guilty after 3-400 rounds and will tear it down , clean and oil it and throw a new O-ring in it . The only failures I have ever experienced were due to lack of oil . Their are those who would have you believe that a well built gun doesn't need a lot of oil to run right but if you want to guaruntee a 1100 keeps running then keep it well lubed . Its really not hard , pull the extension tube or cap off , remove the handguard and spray on some rem-lube or whatever else you like to use (I use Automatic Transmission Fluid) , shake the excess off and re-install the parts you removed .
My pard ran his 1100 at the MGM Ironman and shared it with another guy . They shot almost a 1000 rounds through it before it started choking .
Supposedly the interceptor latches come loose and need re-staked occasionally but mine never has . If it does I will send it to Shawn Carlock at defensive Edge and have him do his Interceptor latch fix and drive on .
A lot of the top shooters have moved on to other shotguns but for the occasional 3-gun , tactical match competitor its more than enough shotgun . I don't shoot the 1000's of rounds that Bennie Cooley or Dave Neth do so I have never noticed the problems that those guys have .
