Had a slight mishap yesterday.Took a couple of my semi's out for stress therapy and after 3 rounds through my 1100 it broke in half. I was left holding the stock in my right hand and the rest of the gun in my left.It looks like the spring tube broke off the receiver.Anyone ever have this happen before?I still have all my digits and besides having to change my drawers,I was not injured.
Dont know why it happened .

Reply The Remington Manual is clear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Remington Manual, on page 44X, specifically states that assembly of the Model 1100 should not be attempted with consumption of more than two Manhattans, more than six beers, more than 3 bourban/seven (they go on to list others) because there is a strong possiblity that if these limits are exceeded, while assembling your shotgun, that the gun could BREAK IN TWO WHILE SHOOTING. Right there on page 44X.

If you had the gun apart, before you install the barrel, make sure the barrel support clup is in the receiver opening. The clip is the sheet metal piece that clatters along the rails of the action assembly. The clip may not look like much, but it acts as a wedge to keep the barrel properly positioned in the receiver.
If you want to scrap that gun, I would be interested in its purchase. Contact me at
[email protected] if you are interested. Use Jay as go-between....he doesn't drink Manhattans either.
