hi fellow shooters!
I pulled out my Remington 1100 after a hot summer of not shooting (it was stored indoors, no worries!) shotguns, and went out to the sporting clays range today. My gun wouldn't cycle! I have not had any issues with this gun in the past. I was shooting typical #8 game loads. Shot both Remington and Estate loads, both experienced problems.
Usually the gun would fail to lift the next shell into the chamber. There were also failures to extract (pulled back the bolt to find an empty still in the chamber) and a few stovepipes as well.
Any ideas as to what I should look for to fix my gun? I've got a set of gas rings that I was thinking about changing out. I'm just surprised because I haven't had any problems with this gun until today. Yes, it was lubed.
Thoughts?
