I took this Remington 1100 12 ga. 2 3/4" in trade; 1970, mod barrel, checkered forearm & stock, bright barrel, loads & ejects low base shells easily, good bluing, white diamond grip cap, white butt plate spacer, refinished wood, engraved receiver, Remington butt plate & 28" barrel. Serial #; 279911V.....produced May 1970. It looks very good at 10', can see sanding marks up close on stock...polyurethane finish. I test fired it with some low base shells and it loaded and ejected them without hesitation. The barrel looks like new, as it's bright and chrome-like. Not interested in shipping it. We're 1/2 way between Boise and MH.
