Barrel Marks, Remmie 1100 "Streetsweeper"

mltitlntd

I have a Remington 1100 that I got from my father. It has an extended magazine, a synbthetic stock with pistol grip and a sighted, non-ribbed barrel. I want to know more about the barrel. It is marked on the left with something that looks like a stylized "V", and the letters "E" (or "F"), "V" and "S". On the right, there is a "G" in a triangle, and whgat appears to be "REF" in a circle. There is also a "D" and some little mark I cannot make out. The rear sight is adjustable for range. The barrel appears to be about 20" long and is chambered for 2& 3/4" shells. The receiver is a non-magnum receiver, I think.

Can anyone tell me how to decipher the barrel marks? Any idea what this might be worth?

Thanks!

The "E" is October,"S" 1969.
The "G" isa magnaflux mark.
"REF" is the proof mark.
The other one is a anchor inspectors test marking.
The "V" on the left means it is a plain 12ga.-2 3/4" chamber barrel.
As for price we need some good close-up pictures showing condition.
You can do a search on the auction side to find any like yours that sold.

REP in a circle is the Remington proof mark.

We need to see clear, close, well-lit photos to tell you much more. Procedure for posting photos:

"Streetsweeper" is the model name of a shotgun made by another manufacturer, so you probably don't want to use that term. Perhaps you meant to say "riot gun", but that's probably not what you have, either.

I suspect you have a modified field grade shotgun; if so, value is difficult to say.

EDIT: According to the latest edition of the Blue Book of Altered, Mutilated, & Refinished Guns, your shotgun should sell in the $250-300 range.

Thanks all for your responses. I am always impressed by the way y'all try to help answer a question or offer guidance.

So there does not seem there is a choke marking. Does that mean the bore is the same diameter all the way down? Is this a slug barrel? It is not rifled.

I'll get some photos up soon too.

If it has rifle sights, it's a deer slayer slug barrel.

I have personally owned and built three Remington 1100 shotguns including aftermarket extended magazines for match competition. To my knowledge it is illegal to hunt with unless the extension is removed and the Remmie is returned to manufacturers specs. Without good quality pics its impossible to determine any kind of value. I once bought an aftermarket copetition 1100 already built, to look just like your dads by your description, for $300.00. FYI, The choke description is located on the left side of barrell just in front of the receiver. It coult read "MOD" modified, "IMP CYL" improved cylinder, "FULL" full choke, "SKEET" skeet choke, "TRAP" trap choke. Hope this gives you some guidance. Best

Anyone still subscribed this this? Here are some photos. Any thoughts on what this is worth?













Thanks!

Because of the commercial blue finish on the shotgun, my WAG is the plastic furniture and mag extension have been assembled from aftermarket parts. 1100 barrels are easily switched out also, so the barrel might not be original.

Best check out the on-line auctions to see what 1100's are going for. Factor in the receiver finish and aftermarket parts to come up with a ballpark value.

This is what is commonly called a "defensive" shotgun. It uses a 20-21" deer hunting barrel to provide easy use of slugs or buckshot loads. This one appears to have been assembled from off-the-shelf parts available from a variety of sources. It cannot be used for sporting purposes without restoring the magazine capacity to meet the legal limits. With small pellet (#4 Buck) buckshot it is a good house gun, a good forearm light is a real plus for this use. There is no sound quite as chilling in the dark as a shotgun being charged.
