Remington 1100
I recently took my Remington 1100 down for a thourgh cleaning. Which I have done many times in the past. After I put it back together it will not fire. I have taken it down and put it back together again and again to no avail. I tried replacing my trigger housing with another gun. The results the other gun still fires and mine does not. I've checked the firing pin. It is unbroken and looks damaged free. When you go to shoot it. It does not even leave a mark on the cap. So the firing pin is not making contact. I've tried to stick my knife next to the firing pin. That was a stupid move, broke my knife point. So the hammer is striking the firing pin. Or real close to it as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

Is there a website that CLEARLY explains (preferably with good pictures), how the gas ring(s) are installed on a 1981 vintage 1100 12 ga 2 3/4" and a 2005 vintage 1100 youth 20 ga 2 3/4". The pictures in the factory literature don't really explain it well enough for mr to understand. I am not a shotgunner. thanks 0 -
I think No.

IMO there is no safety issue but the shell won't eject as the mag has a larger cutout. 0 -

The ejection port on a "Magnum marked" receiver is the Identical size as the "Non-Magnum receiver....The only difference is the roll marked "Magnum" on the receiver...The difference is in the barrel... 1. the chamber length... 2. the location of the ejector on the barrel tang....
Get one each of the receivers, and one each of the 3" and 2-3/4" barrels and do some simple measurements!!!!!!!!

It works fine. I bought one several years ago. The difference is the 3" barrel has one gas port and the 2 3/4 has two. The magnum barrel is safe with heavy 2 3/4" shells and steel shot 3". Don't use heavy 3" shells. Light 2 3/4 shells will not eject from the 3" barrel. 0
