I know this might turn the stomachs of some of the traditionalists. I purchased this Remington 1100 16 gauge in early October. The stock had been shortened and it had some pretty bad rust pitting. So I ordered a synthetic stock & had the steel sanded and coated in Cerakote. Burnt bronze and black. I think it turned out nice. I especially like that I had the rib and receiver top coated black.
I already have a like new 1967 16 gauge 1100 so don’t give me too much hate. |

Love it.
Where did you get the stock? Who did the Cerakote? |

Thanks, you have given me an idea for an 870 that I have. |

| Should make a decent duck gun set up like that. How’s it choked? |

Looks sharp, very creative. IMO, I think it is hard to get that deep blue back.
Nice job.
Regards,
Chuck |

| I live in Mooresville between Charlotte & Boone. Gun has a modified choked barrel. Not many quail in NC anymore. I plan to use it dove & rabbit hunting. And for pest control on crows. Can’t stand the taste of duck or goose...so nope. |

SomeBeach,
I am the most traditional guy you will ever encounter, the gun looks great! Fantastic restoration job. It is a shame you are not a Duck hunter, as EmtyMag said the perfect Duck gun does now exist, man what a Woodie Gun. Even an old L.C. Smith man like myself can appreciate a great restoration job, on a Duck Gun.
Welcome to the 16 forum.
