If you're referring to the 1100 20 gauge, the standard hasn't been built in lots of years. It's a "standard" 12 gauge frame but chambered for a 20 gauge. A 2 3/4" 20 gauge standard will have a serial number that ends in and X. A 3" 20 gauge standard will have a serial number that ends in a K.

And beware of late model Sporting .410 (and probably 28s as they share same action bar assembly)
have seen online of people having same issue I have- block that supports bolt cracks upwards into cocking handle slot
been thru 3 assemblies- other people got ZERO help from Remington before bankruptcy

good info - I need to do some more studying on these.

The recess for the cocking lever does NOT have the smaller cut line like the later models. . Early 12 ga and all std 20 ga
Like this 58.

 

[ThatsTrap]

anybody have a picture of a LT with the smaller cut line to see the difference?

So then, I guess a LT serial number will end in something other than an X or a K?

Just to add to the confusion , Rem made LW20s & LT20s and they are not the same.

Many 1100 Lightweight 20's, had a different contour of ejection port also. They also transitioned from mohagany stocks, to walnut at one time also. I owned a couple back in the 90's, best little bird guns I ever owned.

Unless its an LT-20 Ga. magnum, then it ends in U. At least mine does. It also has the relief slot cut aft of the bolt handle slot.

The LW receiver is used for the 20, 28, and .410. From 1970 to 1977, the 20 gauge 1100 barrel had a short tang, same as the 28 and .410, and the ejector was riveted into the receiver wall. After 1977, the tang was lengthened and the ejector boss was part of the barrel assembly, same as it is on the 12.

I have an 1100 20ga. Magnum serial# ending with a N. Barrel stamped , 3 inch shells. It's been reblued so I see a feint Mod. stamped closer to the chamber. I've shot it a few times with 2 3/4 shells, but don't know if I'm risking hurting someone or something doing this. Since it doesn't cycle with 2 3/4 shells it's hard on my arthritic hand, but I like the near zero recoil and the fit. Is this an ok guns to get me started shooting trap? Any advice appreciated.

 

[DanLee]

If you can put up with cranking back the bolt to get the empty shell out, no reason it wouldn't serve you well.

Oh good, concerned about any safety issues. My son is going to track down a larger tactical bolt handle so that should help. It may look funny but so do I.
Thanks for your response.
