Remington 1100 Serial Number Ending In V



Plaintiff: USA: Defendant: Remington 410 Shotgun Shells, Ruger 22 Caliber Pistol Serial Number 57283, Winchester 20-Gauge Shot Shells, Stevens 410 Single-Shot Shotgun Serial Number C925891, Topper M48 20 Gauge Single-Shot Shotgun No Serial Number, Marlin 336C Lever Action Rifle Serial Number J54003, Rohm 38 Caliber Revolver Serial Number HF0102432, Stevens 410 Single-Shotgun No Serial Number. Камин for mac. According to the Remington guy I called on the phone, apparently it is true that a 1100 with a serial number ending in 'm' can handle magnum/3' shells with an appropriate 3' barrel, but my shotgun with serial ending in 'v' should not run with 3'. It would jam all the time, the Rem guy said.

I apologize because I'm sure this has been asked a lot.
I'm confused as to how to date this gun. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the 1100 would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly 410.
What I know it's a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 with a full ribbed barrel. I'm unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel. If I pull it out it measures at 33in.
What I'd like to know is how old it is. I know my father purchased it before 1980.
RemingtonThe receiver has the serial 491**V, I understand V to mean 12 gauge. There aren't any prefix codes to the serial.
The barrel has the code AFKI or AFK1, I'm unsure as the stamping is messy.
1100If no one can help me that's fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there's a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. Because of this I've been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven't tried shooting it as I'd be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the 410 and wants to shoot something bigger. As I remember this was a nice ladies gun with a minimal kick but it's been over 20 years since I shot it at the local turkey shoot, still don't need any turkeys.
