Hi everyone, I usually hang out on the CZ forum but I had to ask a question.
I have owned many remington rifles and 2 reimington shotguns.
The shotguns are an 870 that I inherited from my granddad and restored to factory new condition and a premeir 1187(bought first year they came out) but have never owned an 1100.
Until today that is.
My mother has shot an 1100 since the mid 60's when they first came out(bought for 45 buck from a used car dealer) and I have shot it in the past but I have always wanted my own.
Well today I got one. Modified barrel 26" long over all the gun is in 95% condition, bluing perfect and original end to end. The gun shows no wear at the muzzle from having been fired allot(no blueing missing or faded) not a mark on the original wood.
Question- how to find out the manufacturing date. The serial number 52####v indicates, if i have read right, that the gun was made in 1979 based on the 'v' in the serial number.
Any help would be appreceiated. Thanks. Also any sources for a factory rem choked barrel at a reasonable price?
