Description: A lighter, streamlined version, of the Model 11. The first new shotguns to be introduced by Remington after World War II.
Well, some of the other serial number prefixes ran for up to 6 years. Yeah, it's not ideal, and it'll get less precise the longer Remington uses this new serial number format, but it's still an indicator - good enough for putting a barrel date stamp in context, for example. Re: Remington 1100 Shotgun Serial Numbers - Meaning Post by remington.001 » Mon Mar 23, 2015 5:00 pm Thanks to all for the help, but I was still confused since I recently purchased the gun in a box from a dealer. For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel.

Beginning that year, Remington began making .410 and 28 gauge versions. Initially they were only available as Model 1100 Matched Pairs - a .410 shotgun and a 28 gauge shotgun in Field and Skeet versions. Both plain and vent rib barrels were available. The Field gun came with mahogany stock and fore-end, and Skeet guns came in American walnut. The .410 and 28 gauge guns were offered only as a matched pair with matching serial numbers gilded in gold, and protected in a hard carrying case. They retailed for $495.00 for the pair. A total of 5,067 Matched Pairs were sold in 1969 and 1970 with run-off sales of left-over stock in 1971 and '72. Later in the year, Remington began offering the Model 1100 in .410 with full choke for $199.95 and in 28 gauge with modified choke for the same price. Stocks and fore-ends were made of lightweight mahogany, and either gauge was available with plain or vent rib barrel. What is the serial number and barrel date code of the gun. If you could get me those and a picture it would help? If it is as you say and is one of the 1969-72 guns I would give $700.00 - $900.00 for it depending on condition and function. If you can find its 28 gauge mate and case.... then you would have something!! We have done so much for so long with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing! |
