Remington 1100 12ga magnum

[Rpg]

I'm considering selling my Remington 1100 12 ga Magnum: haven't used it in years so it's time to move it along. This is chambered for 3" magnum.

It has three barrels: 30" full choke, 28" medium choke and 26" improved cylinder. No screw in chokes.

It's been hunted with so it's not pristine, but it hasn't been abused.

I don't know the current value of such a package, or whether it should be sold all together or broken up selling the barrels separately.

I need the wisdom of the forum as to price and whether to sell as a package or separately.

Once I determine these matters, I'll list it here.

Should be a valuable gun these days. Have a TB Grade in 12 myself. With 3 barrels I would want close to a grand at least. Barrels ain't cheap for them. Believe Rem-Arms will again be making the 1100 and the price could be close to $1100 for good ole walnut and high polish bluing. If mint condition I would want more. Great guns!

I'm saying gun $600-$800, barrels $150@ , so package deal $1100-$1200
Remington 870 and 1100 are up a bit in the Wingmaster 870 and the older deluxe walnut 1100s. Location can mean a good bit on prices on these. I actually have seen Wingmasters sell higher than 1100s, don't ask why. With shot loads there is no difference. The 1100 usually shoots slugs better than 870s. ( smooth bores )

Am I right in guessing that this 1100 shotgun is pretty old? The reason I ask is because you have 3 barrels, instead of the more modern choke system. I, too, have the older (early 80's model in my case) 1100 with an improved cylinder barrel and a modified barrel. I like the older guns, and would sell my 11-87 with choke system before I would sell my 1100.

It is reasonably old: I bought it in 1979.

The older 1100s were beautifully built and finished shotguns. The bluing was second to none. I've always loved them. Son and I still own and frequently hunt with three. Back in the 80s' I was a regular on the regional skeet tours. In 1983 I purchased a 12 ga. "Tournament Skeet" which I still use every year for Dove shooting. This is a photo of the butt stock. They don't build them like this anymore unless a high end or custom gun.

1100 & 870 were first generation of successful stamped guns. The Rem cult would rather have the early guns with individual barrels than screw in chokes and the nicer wood. 16gauge guns are coming up in demand. The 20s have always been popular and 28 & 410 are going for crazy money.

Yeah beautiful wood on those early gun. Figured walnut was especially nice of the Trap and Skeet models. Plan on passing down my TB grade. Back in 80 ran me $325 brand new. Great clay gun with that 30 inch barrel. Sounds like we may see a new Wingmaster from Rem-Arms.

If I didn't have one already I'd be writing the check now.

I sold my Wingmaster. I paid $112 for mine with slug barrel. I bought as deer gun. Never did like it, was a keep up with the Jones purchase. Hardly ever used it and it was bought in 60s. Pretty gun but it had some misses in it. Out of 5 shot groups at 100yds it would always throw on badly.?? Got $600 for it last year.

Rpg, your question regarding 1100 values is a timely one, for me. I am looking to possibly purchase a 16 GA from a good friend (almost family). He has nice examples in all but the .410 bore. I'm not sure if I can swing the 28 GA, but I'm still doing research, as well.
I'll start a separate thread so as to not hijack yours... I'll be following along here, too.
