If they can ship a gun with that stock for less than $1000, then I think it's a great deal. I'd prefer to see the same setup in wood, but that's just me.

I LIKE THAT!

Looks like something out of that kids movie TRANSFORMERS and when all folded up, I wounder what it be? LOL!

BUT I LIKE IT!

For under a thousand I would be very interested, hope it comes out as a 3 inch. I also wonder if it will be picky about shells like some other 1100s.

Looks nice, I wonder if the stock will get small enough for little kids to shoot. Either way I want one to add to the collection.

I like it too; Finish color gives it a good look, and adjustable stock is the way to go with plastic...but I still prefer wood!

I sell the stock set mentioned in this article (minus the recoil reduction system).

It seems we of the pretty walnut and blued steel generation are rapidly approaching geezerhood. How many guns are designed for the younger shooters today? In fact, how much advertising is designed for the youthful market? SIGH! However, if I was a serious clay target competitor, this gun would be worth a look.

It indeed appears a dedicated trap and sporting clays gun at a somewhat reasonable price.

1100's are old, but we should never forget the old tried and proven technology.

Now THAT's an 1100! I'll be having one of those! Look out all you foreign fancy pants...Remington's in the house.

if they make a 3,5 inch model im getting one :P

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INFO. I WILL GIVE IT A TRY. CHECKED WITH LOCAL GANDER MOUNTAIN AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE REMINGTON 1100 COMP YET

I like it any Idea of when they are going to release it to the general public for purchase it's not on their website as of yet, but I know my youngest would love it?
maybe they might have one for demo at the ATA Grand in Illinois this year

Ick.

pbhead -- I had a simpler youth gun in mind, with a stock adjustable for pull and comb height. I kind of like this better.

I have a QUESTION , about REMINGTON auto-loader designs , that goes back thru ALL models , since the Model 58 ( ! ):

Why does Remington make the OPERATING HANDEL SLOT almost 1/2" Inch LONGER than the ever-possible travel of the Bolt-Operating-handle ??

And , after that Question ; WHY ON EARTH DO THEY THEN CUT A TOTALLY WORTHLESS SLOT another 1.5" further back , until they have the entire Right Side totally open to both WEATHER , and Field-Debris ???????

And , for anyone who has real Gun-Smith background , : Is there a reason for R-1100-3"-Mag Barrels to have TWO different locations for the EJECTOR location : 0.4" & 0.5" from the rear-end of the Barrel-Extension ???

Please feel free to E-Mail me directly , if these Q's need some explanation !

I think the 1100 is probably the most utilitarian shotgun in the world. It shoots softly and it shoots where I look. With this configuration it will shoot where you look too if you dial it in.

My son and I were among the lucky ones who got to try this gun. My trusty old 1100, which I bought as a boy 37 years ago, is my son's choice of trap guns today, mainly because we already own it and it just plain shoots well and with only moderate recoil. But it took a new barrel with screw-in chokes to replace the fixed full choke barrel, some prettier used wood, and a Morgan adjustable recoil pad to bring it into the realm of a decent youth trap gun that fits him.

We only shot this prototype 1100 a few times each, but no clay went unbroken; it points and shoots like it's heritage demands. I am definitely not a fan of all the black plastic on guns these days, preferring the class and character of wood, but this gun, with the carbon fiber look and not-quite-stainless and not-quite-satin or blue metal finish was a looker to be sure.

Today, as I scour the internet looking for a fully adjustable stock for one of my 870's or 1100's so I can have at least one gun that will adjust easily to fit some of the youth shooters properly, my search brought me here and I was reminded of what a fine idea this factory prototype is. Exactly what I want one of my guns to be. Trying to explain to kids and parents why their off-the-shelf field gun does not fit right for trap or for the huge variance in youth sizes is difficult. We have kids ranging from 5 foot nothing to 6 feet 4. Low scores and even a few bruised cheeks from bad gun fit are not the way to encourage youth target shooting. Being able to adjust a gun to fit properly and letting them see and feel the difference themselves is the best way to show them that "one size does not fit all". Every youth team coach needs at least one gun like this, so I'm not surprised at all to learn Phil has been pushing for one. He didn't mention his part the day we shot this one.

Spending the money for custom stock work is out of the question for most beginners, especially rapidly-growing youth. But it is virtually impossible to find a bolt-on replacement stock with both adjustable LOP and an adjustable comb, even for models as popular as Remington's 1100, 1187, and 870.

Remington is absolutely on the right track with this model, and there is literally a "growing" market for such a gun: Our kids. If they also offered the stock alone as a replacement, I'd order one today. Do a search for such a stock and you'll see what a big demand there there really is.

Personally, I prefer the convenience of the pictured adjustable LOP system over spacers and would also like to see some sort of non-ejecting single shot selector built into such a gun, eliminating the need for often-lost clip-on shell catchers and making the transition from field to trap to skeet or doubles very simple. Even $1000 is a serious investment for most parents, and they will always look for the most versatile gun for their son or daughter... or even themselves.
