Rem 1100 compatition

[Bill]

A while back I bought a group of guns from a SD Police Dept. In that bunch of guns was a Rem 1100 Mag that someone had taken to a tree or something and busted off the butt stock and recoil tube and the recoil Fork that connects to the bolt.
A friend of mine who is a gun smith is (if he ever gets time) fixing it for me. (Don't worry Two Moons, he is even slower than you are) Oops did I say that. ;D
Here a while back I picked up a barrel from a guy that had no use for it. Its a rifle sighted riot barrel for a Rem 1100 Rem. Had some huge rust spots on it. Their coming off though with soaking it in oil and then going after it with what is called soft stainless steel I picked up from Brownell's
I'm thinking of sending the barrel and the action off to Craftguard and have them hard nickle the whole thing when I get it back.
Anyway I read an article a while back about guns used in three gun matches and what worked. The guy writing the article seemed to think that the Rem 1100 was the fastest thing going. Then he found that the Browning A5 was just a bit faster and then bought a new Browning Auto that has just come out this year and found it to be just a tad bit faster yet. He said all three were faster than a Benelli. Well this one is faster than I am so it should be good when done. We are going to work on a load for 7/8 oz at a fairly low pressure and then open up the gas hole just a bit till we get it to function reliably. Should have very little recoil when done but should be able to put out a lot of rounds very quickly but still function with a full house load without any problem. So says my gunsmith buddy. but we will find out.
I joined this gun club last year and its mostly a pistol club but they run these 3 gun matches. Looks like I might have my shotgun for the 3 gun match yet. If my buddy ever gets the action brazed back together. Might have to get it back and send it to Remington if I want it up and running yet this year. ;D ;D

Dad's Auto 5 runs fast you just have to mess with that lever if you want to go to low power shells. The barrel recoil might get you off target if you have to shoot the same target 2 or 3 times. It does not Kick like my 870 but it does have a bit of weird recoil.

Sounds like you got a real winner if you get it all up and running.

How about this hard crome SKS It belongs to my friend.


I guess you are going to have a bling 1100. Pimp My shotgun.

Don't care for the shine. This one is going to possibly be bead blasted and then hard chromed which makes it look like the Rem 870 Marine.
That or I just might cerocoat it. I was also looking at a dip kit. I looked at one that you give it a silver undercoat and then you have silver skulls all over it when your done. ;D Or I could do a complete rattlesnake skin dip. Make a heck of a snake gun then. ;D

Same friend has an AR in Diamond plate. I think it has been dipped in a film of some type. Next time i see him I will make him break it out and get a pic to share.

He also wears lots of rings and chains. BLING should be his middle name.

The 870 marine mag rocks for a duck gun. East coast where you have salt water or brackash water they don;t rust Much. I have seen them mounted in car trunks on the bottom of the trunk lid. Spent years there without a problem.

One of the guys that works for me showed me something he is doing. Its called a youdipitkit. Kind of perked my interest as its an alternative to spending a bunch of money on hard chroming. He thinks that I should so an undercoat of this black paint and then dip it in silver skulls and then you do a clear-coat over that. He then thinks I should cerocoat the barrel black or green. Not sure where he wants me to go with the stocks yet but hey it could be interesting.
In looking through the different kits though I did find something. There is one kit that has these deer skulls kind of like the bone collector type that you see on everything and if you do the undercoat in a tan and then dip it you end up with a kind of camo that looks like a tan camo until you get up close and study it and it kind of makes you go wow. I have H-S Precision stock on my Heavy .308 that has the adjustable comb and butt and is painted brown and everyone calls it my turd gun. But they also comment on the fact that is is the sweetest stock to cuddle up to they have ever seen. Maybe that stock might be a good place for the bone collector camo. ;D
I'm going to have to wait and see how good of job this kid does on his first gun before I commit to it but if its as good as everything else he does I'm going to maybe have to give it a try.
The silver skulls are real similar to what they did on the Black Rain AR15 and Might look kind of hmmm COOL on the Rem 1100. ;D ;D ;D

I'd just put it together & use it.

I almost bought dads savage 340 222 and had it dipped in a winter camo for coyotes. I sold it cheap to cheap but we need safe money.

I got a weird kind of camo sock and it does make my rem 700 into a winter gun for sunny days. I just pull it on and off. It looks like it is make out of so sort of poly pro. with a bolt cut out.I look like the snowman with my white jumpsuit i have. Figures we have had 0 snow cover this winter to sue them.
