Can someone please tell me if this Remington 1100 is built on a 16 ga. frame or a 12 ga. frame? Thank you. Also, anyone know the weight of such a shotgun? |

I own a Remington 1100 - 16 gauge, built in 1978 with a 28" barrel. It weighs 7 lbs. 8 oz.. I use this shotgun for most of my hunting and a fair amount of Sporting Clays.
The newer 16 gauge 1100's are a few ounces heavier than the older guns because of the barrel wall thickness and the addition of Remchokes.
The 1100's were never built on a true 16 gauge receiver. If you shoot a 12 gauge 1100 well, you will shoot the 16 gauge 1100 well.
Personally I despise light, short shotguns. If you are looking for slim and petite this ain't the shotgun for you. |

I have been told that the 12 ga. 1100's were actually scaled off of the 16 ga. 11-48 frame and that a 12 ga. 11-48 has a bigger frame than a 12 ga. 1100. |

That it true of 870s. May or may not be true of 1100s. They can use the same stock, right? |

Have you seen the prices on 1100's. Especially sub gauges. |
