Remington 1100 Makeover

[Bahamadon]

A friend asked me to thread his older 1100 (1973) for choke tubes. Got the gun and it had patches of rust with bad pitting on the receiver. Convinced him to reblue it. Barrel is in pretty good shape. The stock was missing it's white diamond.
Choke and diamond done. The pits turned out to be sinkholes so could not eliminate them entirely , but greatly improved. Reciever sanded down to 400 grit. Will get the barrel today and hopefully swimming in the Blue Lagoon Monday or Tuesday.
Wood is in good shape so no work there. I get sad when I see firearms that have been neglected.
Will post more pix of the finished product.

What a joy to see such a fine gun rescue - restored!!!!!

 

[Bahamadon]

I feel you with the joy. It makes me happy doing restorations. He got it used pretty cheap. I know he will take card of it and probably give it to his son.

Great job. I love to do that type work too but my patience sometimes gets short

I have to find someone to do this one also. A pipe busted in my brothers basement and this was lying on the floor in a soft case. Luckily it’s not as bad as it could have been

I have 4. One for each girl including my wife. Don’t know when I’ll give the little’s theirs. Probably when they get old/big enough for them to fit

my youngest daughter (9mo) is appearing to be left handed. My wife hates it when i tell people all her guns are going to be more expensive 🤪

Yep. Our oldest is lefty. But certain guns will just have to be righty. I’m going to make sure she likes to shoot before I spend too much money on lefty guns

I'm left handed and shoot a right handed 1187 no problem.. I've only owned 3 left handed guns in 50+ years of shooting.

My fixer upper. Not horrible but needed some TLC.

 

[Bahamadon]

Got that 1100 blued yesterday. Here's some before and after.

 

[Jmoser]

God bless. What a beauty.

 

[Unaballer]

Man i would love to find a 20 for the kid.

 

[NCLivingBrit]

Hopefully he doesn't leave in the same place it rusted in the first place.

Great work.
