I have owned several through the years, never had any problems. Parts are found a lot of times on e-bay. I just pick up another 12 ga. a couple of weeks back. I like em'.
Mid 1970s I bought a Model 1000 at the store where I worked. It was cheaper than the Remington 1100 that I wanted Nd had engraving and a shiny stock. I still have it. It is 12 gauge and the softest shooting shotgun that I have. Always works. I would buy another.
