I have a 20 gauge standard skeet & love that gun. I assume yours is modified choke? I couple fun rounds at trap should be a good time. Just have fun with it and don't get all serious as that isn't a gun designed for trap but should do ok.

 

Yes, its a fixed MOD choke. I have other "Trap" guns. Just curious as to how I would do with it.

 

Why? Shoot the heck out of it, that’s what it’s for. Keep taking care of it and it will last another 50 yrs! If you like it, shoot it!

 

This has been WELL cared for over its life. I don't want to ding it up. I know... then what is the point of having it?

 

Shoot that gun! Great gun there.

 

I think you might not want to put it away.

Noweil was kind enough to let me shoot his 1100 for a round of sporting clays, they are REALLY NICE.

 

I have 12ga guns for trap. I was thinking 20ga would be fun (lighter, easier to swing) but a disadvantage (fewer pellets), hence why I want to try it. Since its fixed MOD barrel, there is no adjusting short of changing the barrel.

 

It's not going to fit you; the choke is all wrong; it has too much drop; the o-ring is old and worn out; and it won't kick hard enough for you to know you actually got the shot off.
I'll drive over after lunch and take that lemon off your hands

 

Be sure to bring cash... and lots of it.

 

Clean her up and shoot the heck out of it.
Try it at 16 yard.
I have a 1975 1100 Skeet B 12 Ga and it is a delight to shoot.

 

That's kinda the plan!

 

I'd shoot that gun every chance I got. That gun would be fine on 16 yard trap. If you are worried about less shot, buy 1 oz loads, but I don't believe you need them. On sporting clays, I'd shoot that gun like crazy. Great choke, no recoil, can't go wrong.

 

2 boxes of Win AA 1oz #8 1200fps ready to go. I bought them before I got the gun.

 

I’ll fall in with everybody else and say shoot it and shoot it often.

 

Nice looking gun! Shoot & enjoy it!!

 

Hi All, I'm fairly new to shotguns. Took up Trap Nov, 2024, now have (3) 12 gauges (Single, O/U, Semi), all for clays. I do not hunt.

A friend's father passed and left her his gun collection. I bought 3 from her. One is a 1968 Remington 1100 Standard, 20 gauge, 28", vented rib, in 99% condition. Assuming its a 1968 (CR date code, serial 44_ _ _ _ X) Pristine is a great word for it. Perfect condition for a 57 year old gun.
I'm thinking about trying this on the trap range. Crazy? I figured I would put 50 rounds through it, clean it and put it away. What do you think?

20 ga Trap? Maybe. However, if you can find a skeet choked barrel for it, they are an awesome skeet gun. They have the weight of a 12 ga (it's built on a 12 ga frame) and the recoil is neglible. I have a couple & shoot it all the time. Also, great gun for a younger shooter starting out

 

I have (3) 12 gauges. I just want to see what I can do with it.
I've been told to have fun with it... so I am.

Question: Will any Rem 1100 barrel fit, or does it need to be from a specific era?

 

It is not a collector. Shoot it

 

I plan to. I just need to strip, clean and lube first. She has been stored a long while.

 

I would replace the O-ring. It’s probably brittle by now.

 

I was thinking that. But need to open her up to see. I don’t have one handy.

 

I have o rings that are 35+ years old. I am not changing them until they break. I carry a spare just in case, but I'm hoping they outlive me.

 

I swapped out the O ring (same as 12 gauge) with a fresh one, even though the old one looked sound.

 

I shoot 7/8oz 9's in a 12ga for 16's and 1 st shot dbl's modified choke. Run it by me again why the same load in a 20 won't get it? Bob

 

Nice gun. Back when they made good stuff

 

Well... took the old girl (1968) out and ran 50 rounds thru her. (2x) 20/25 Not bad for never shooting it before. For a 20ga, she kicked a little harder than expected (plastic butt plate, and not complaining), shooting Winchester AA, 1oz, #8, 1165 fps. The rubber band on the ejection port, gave me a bit of trouble at the first station, but after I sorted that. No issues. Nice vintage shotgun.

 

I think you will be pleasantly surprised how well you do at trap vs your 12 ga. Especially from the 16 yd line. Enjoy that shotgun 1100s are one of the all time greats. Also if I’m not mistaken a 20 ga 1100 like yours holds the endurance record for shells fired w/o a failure.

 

Thanks. I am pleasantly surprised by it. Shot (2) 20s with it. Was planning on cleaning and casing her, but she likes to dance. So now I need 20ga ammo to go along with the 12ga
