remington 1100 parts

[Pileatus]

Yesterday, my 1100 blew a few internal parts. The fore-end support assembly, along with the bolt link and the feed latch were damaged and need to be replaced. I thought at first that I would take the gun to the shop, but after hearing the repair quote and the wait time (at least $100 and one month in shop) I decided to take matters into my own hands. I have a friend who knows the 1100 inside and out, has taken apart and rebuilt mine from time to time, and can re-install the parts for me if I order them in from Remington myself. The only question is, the gunsmith who looked at the gun wrote that the "magazine cutoff and feed latch" need to be replaced and re-staked. What is this magazine cutoff? I don't see it listed on the parts list or the 1100 schematic. Is it that little hook thing on the end of the feed latch rail? I just need to know which parts to order tomorrow, so that we've got everything to install in the gun. Should be a fairly simple fix--seat the new bolt link into its socket in the buttstock (the link is the tuning fork looking thing), replace the fore-end support (which is apparently a part not unknown to break), and stake down a new feed latch. Sounds pretty quick and the parts aren't very expensive; I just need to know if this magazine cutoff thing is a part of the feed latch or not. I'm being led to believe it is, based on the fact that (a) it's not listed as a part and (b) there's a narrow, hooked end on the feed latch that looks like it engages the magazine in some way.

Thanks very much for all your help! Looking forward to having some fun here.

Best,

There is no magazine cutoff on an 1100. He may have been referring to the Interceptor, and if that is loose they sell oversized (thicker) retaining 'C' clips to tighten it back up some. Can't say without looking at it, sorry.
The feed latch does not have to be staked, because when the trigger group in in place and the pins are thru it, it can't go anywhere anyway. I had one come loose about 4 years ago and put some Superglue on it as a temporary thing, and now I don't remember which one it was. You need one of those staking tools to put it back right, and stake it, without marring the receiver. Good luck.
