Remington announced Model 1100 Limited Edition 'One of Three Thousand', in September, 1980. High grade gun, with positive cut checkered fancy American walnut wood, fitted rosewood grip cap, thin brown butt pad, 14K gold trimmed and etched with hunting scenes on receiver. SO I was surfing along last night and saw one of these for sale in a local forum site - Gun was only marked 'Remington Sportsman 12' & the serial number starts with a 'P' and ends with a 'V', and darn that thing looks like an 1187. I think it only takes 2 3/4' shells. There were just two pics. Model 1100 serial numbers (on the receiver) started with the number 1001. All but the early guns also have a prefix letter. All Model 1100 Remington shotguns were serial numbered in blocks of numbers. Each serial number has a suffix and the following indicates the meaning. Remington 1100 Serial Numbers. The receiver was made in 1979 but may NOT have been assembled asa shotgun during that time frame. Ppapi plug-in mac. It could have been assembled in1980. Value, as always, would depend on the current condition ofthe shotgun. Best bet would be to take it to a local gunshow (in anappropriate case) and see what the folks who.

The Remington 1100 is a gas-operatedsemi-automatic shotgun introduced by Remington Arms in 1963.

History[edit]

Designed by Wayne Leek and Robert Kelley,^[2]^[3] the Remington Model 1100 was introduced in 1963 as a successor to the Model 58 and Model 878gas operated shotguns.^[4] The Model 58 had been supplemented the recoil operatedModel 11-48, which retained the long recoil action of John Browning's original design, present in the Model 11 and the Browning Auto-5. Upon its introduction in 1963, the Model 1100 replaced the Model 58 and Model 878, and later replaced the Model 11-48 as well.

The Model 1100 was an improvement over previous semi-automatic shotguns. All models of the series are gas operated with a mechanism that noticeably reduces recoil.^[4] As of 1983, it was the best selling autoloading shotgun in U.S. history, in dollar terms.^[4]

A plain version of the Model 1100 in 12 gauge, named the Sportsman 12 Auto, was sold in stores such as Target, Kmart, and Walmart in the mid-1980s, along with the Sportsman 12 Pump, which was a plain Model 870.^{[citation needed]} The Sportsman 12 Auto had less costly birch stocks and less rollmarking on the gun's receiver. These were simply cosmetic differences, and all Model 1100 parts in 12 gauge are fully interchangeable, including barrels and receivers. Both Sportsman 12 offerings were discontinued in 1987, concurrent with the introduction of the semi-automatic Model 11-87 and the pump action Model 870 Express.^{[citation needed]}

In 2011, Remington introduced the Model 1100 Competition Synthetic. A 50th Anniversary highly decorated version was introduced in 2013. Over four million Model 1100 shotguns have been produced. Several variations of the series—in 12, 20, and 28 gauges, and .410 bore—remain in contemporary production.^[5]^[6]

Design[edit]

A Model 11A, Sportsman '48, Wingmaster 870 TB, 1100 Competition and Sportsman 11-87

The Model 1100 bleeds off gases to operate the action through ports in the barrel near the fore end. The gasses then drive a steel action sleeve that fits around the magazine tube and connects to the bolt carrier to the rear, ejecting the spent shell. A fresh shell is released from the magazine, which trips the carrier release, and the action spring in the stock pushes the bolt forward, picking up the fresh shell and loading it into the chamber. With modifications to the trigger group to regulate feed and firing, the design is basically a gas powered Model 870. The Model 1100 can fire any 2+3⁄4-inch (7.0 cm) shell without adjustment in the standard models, and both 2+3⁄4 and 3-inch (7.6 cm) Magnum shells can be used interchangeably on the Magnum versions.^{[citation needed]}

The Model 1100's carrier release is located on the underside of the firearm,^[1] which is unlike a number of other semi-automatic shotguns such as the Mossberg 930 or the FN SLP whose carrier releases are located on the side.^[7]^[8]
