I have a Remington 1100 shotgun in 20 gauge that is older than I am (Over 30). I'm planning to use it for various types of bird hunting. Therefore I need a plug for it. This gun originally belonged to my grandfather and had a wooden plug with it when I received it. The wooden plug won't fit inside the end of the magazine tube so I figured it was for a different gun. I ordered a new, plastic plug from midway. When I got the new plug it is the same diameter as the wooden one I have and therefore it won't work either. I don't know much about this gun so there is probably a simple explanation that my simple self cant figure out. I've attached some pictures to serve as visual aid.
Anyone have any insight for me?
I'm thinking of just whittling down the plastic one so it's skinny enough to work but I have to think there is a proper plug somewhere for this gun. The gun is virtually flawless by the way. It probably has less than 200 shells through it.
you have to pull out that little metal thingie with three slots in it...watch teh spring--it will jump out...then put the spring, plug, AND metal retainer back in...
LOL Yep, worked perfect on my mossy 500, i threw my plug out thinking I would never use it, then i got invited to go pheasant hunting:laughing:. Pencil worked awesome for me, didnt have to cut it or anything.
Hmmm, I've tried to pull the spring cap (the three pronged thing) out but it seems to be fixed in the tube. It started to bend when I pried on it a little. The plug I bought was for a 20 gauge model 1100 and the label on the package confirmed that.
I always used a piece cut from a plastic cloths hanger. Plastic will not absorb moisture like a stick or wooden pencil.
