    I bought a used remington 1100 from one of my friends. According to this website http://armscollectors.com/sn/remdates.php
    The 2 letters in the code (KT) means that it was manufactured May of 1926 or 1970. I'm pretty sure its not a 1926. The whole thing has lots of nice engraving on it, including the bolt which they have stopped doing. It accepts 3"magnums which is hard to find in this older model. It also has a nice finish to the wood. The gun is in very good shape for its age. There is no rust or pits anywhere on this gun, all original parts. It shoots great too. I'll have some pix up later :-)

    I just bought one like that too! Except mine doesn't take 3 inch shells. It was a bear to get the operating handle out though. Any similar problems with yours?

    Nice, Very nice shotgun. I'm looking for a decently cheap reliable shotgun. My dad has one of those wingmasters so I'm not worried about getting a good shotgun.

    Bass Pro has the express magnum with the extended mag tube & synthetic stock for 350.00. I bought one a week or so ago and added a single point sling adapter, sling, side saddle and M3 light and shortened the fore end (its a work gun). You cant beat the price.

    You can call Remington and they will give you the exact date of manufacture.

    My wife's tra gun that i got her for her birthday just happened to be the same year as her birthday. I let her believe that I hunted it down.:innocent0
