I just bought a Remington 1100 online and looking for reassurance I got a good deal.

These are old friends to me and still own one. By my measure, you just barely did a good deal. There is so much that is not showing and hope that internally it's still okay. These are some of my favorite shotguns and they are work-horses and can really take a beating. I'm suspicious of the sling swivels and the toe area of the buttstock. ...I just bought a Remington 1100 online and looking for reassurance I got a good deal.
Horse hockey. I have been shooting 1100s for 51 years, and I have never had one stop on me, and that includes when shooting my VERY heavy filthy heavy Blue Dot handloads. A lot of Auto 5 lovers were dogging the 1100 when it first came out, and then a few years later, a whole lot of them were shooting 1100s. It will not go as long between cleanings as an inertia design, but I have gone 400 rounds at least. I clean all my guns anytime I shoot them.The 1100's only weak spot is its a gas gun. They foul badly with heavy loads such as may be used pheasant hunting. The A5 is better in that respect.

I don't think it was cut but I haven't gotten the gun yet it's still being delivered. It doesn't say it has in the description. But I will probably replace the stock on it anyways. I think I will make this a project gun and customize it how I like.shortwave
Has the stock been cut/shortened? The butt plate fits as though it has.
Hardly, but you do have to clean them, watch the O-Ring, don't forget to clean the ports piston parts and cylinder. I use to clean them before and after each hunting season. ....They foul badly with heavy loads such as may be used pheasant hunting.
