my only autoloader, and yes, it's an 1100...

[Old Unc']

1980's build date, 20 gauge with 28" VR barrel and Mod fixed choke. Gun is in excellent-plus condition, around 92%. Wayne Leek produced a masterpiece back in 1963 and it's still going strong. Unlike the standard 1100 20 gauge which is built on the 12 gauge frame, the LT-20 was built on Remington's 28 gauge frame. That's what makes the gun very desirable especially to bird hunters...

Beautiful gun. I have one made in '68 that I inherited from my grandfather. Has a fixed full choke as well as a matching slug barrel. He said he remembers shooting it once and putting it away. I plan on shooting the crap out of it this fall at the trap range and deer hunting.

Old Unc' you have a beautiful shotgun. I'd rather have it than a new one. Looks like its never been hunted.
My wife gave me a 1100 28 ga. for my 65th birthday. It's built on the small ga. frame.
I have the same issue with it as I had with a 1100 12 ga. I bought in 1965. 26" IC choked barrel. The only issue I have with the 1100 is that I shoot left handed and I get some blow back through the ejection port. I wished Remington made a LH 28 ga. I place the 1100 right behind the 870 as the all time best shotgun. I will probably get some argument on that. Now I gotta go to Remington's website and see what gauges they make in a left hand 1100.

I only have four semi autos, and they are all 1100s. I once had a conversation with Wayne Leek, and it was fascinating. The first 20 gauge "Lightweights" were on the 12 gauge sized receiver with mahogany stocks. He told me they were looking at making a new receiver size for the 20, but decided to try the 28 gauge receiver size since it was all steel. After a few issues with the first series, the LW20, they solved all the problems with the LT20, and the rest is history, and it is still being written.

No more left hand 1100's on Remington's website. Guess I start looking for an older Model 1100. Hope I find one as nice as yours Old Unc'. Let's see, I need a 12 magnum for ducks and deer and a 20 LW for doves. Still use my 28 on quail and skeet. My turkey and HD shotgun is an 870 SP-T.

The 1100's are such great guns and just keep on ticking...

I have a 12ga Model-1100 I bought new in 1976. IIRC, it cost me $179.00. Thought I never would pay the thing off.

Pretty gun Old Unk. Wish I had it.

 

[eastbank]

a matched pair of rem 1100 skeets 410-28ga made in 1969-1970., i picked them up when the owner down sized, i have not hunted them yet. eastbank.

 

[Old Unc']

VERY nice pair!!

here's my 12 gauge. Prettiest wood I ever had on an 1100...

 

[1KPerDay]

Wow!

 

[One_Jackal]

The old Remington shotguns have much better wood. I have a late 60's 870 Wing Master. The wood is perfect. I have 2 older Browning Legacy shotguns. They are the only other shotguns that rival the Remington in my safe.

I bought a 20 ga. lw in the early 70's. It had mahogany furniture and was not built on the 12 ga. frame. It was a joy in the dove fields with it's modified choke.
