There is a spring in the stock,recoil from bolt pushes back bolt,spring returns bolt and cycles new round from magazine.i replace them every 5 to 7000 rounds.tip...use 2 o rings in the event you burn one up the second will cycle the gun.use o rings made for1100 1187. Not something you picked up at NAPA or Lowes.

i am dealing with this now with a 11-87 sp that is the same as the 1100. if you have the instruction book look at the disassemble instructions where they show the feed latch. this is part find no. 39 feed latch. you can find this inst. book online if you dont have it. this a long spring that is staked into a slot inside the receiver. look into the port you can see it has a shaped tip that you can depress in front of the mag. tube opening. shown in the instruction book. if the tip is broken off it will leave a mark on a fired shell. you can see a picture of the feed latch on midway rem parts 1100 11-87 feed latch.

Those latches he's can be a problem, there held in position by a pin that holds the trigger group in place. If the latch is broken or needs removal, the new latch must be restaked in place with a MENCK Remington staking tool...
replacing the ejector and ejector spring require re setting new rivets,you usually can only reppeen once,there isn't enough metal to replace more than once.

briar, i have peened twice with the tool midway sells. next time i will grind new spots on the feed latch. however that ship has sailed for me as the mag.tube came out of the receiver. the braze broke loose. i have a new receiver on order with a local ffl gun shop. the receiver is a sub assembly with all the staked and riveted parts included.

I deal with 870 in the PD, 1100 & 11-87 clones once the rivets are played out, we send the Mack to Remington as the recover has to be blued. If the braze broke I would call C/S at Remington ,the have always proved helpful. Since the reciver has the number,they can't swap it out,but they could rebuild it.
This this spell check,sucks,it has a mind of its own

I had a ejection issue with mine at one time and it had nothing to do with certain loads, ports or o rings. I was made aware of the spring and sleeve hidden in the stock that I didn't know about because the gun was handed down to me. Cleaned those parts and it worked like a charm again.

I was thinking about purchasing a rem.1100, .410 but after reading through all the posts and the problems remingtons have, maybe a browning bps .410 would be the better choice[up]

No better gun ever made this one was my dads gun made in the mid 60's never had a problem with it until two years ago. Over 50 years old and never had a problem points well and throws a great pattern.

there is also a tiny latch on the bolt that grabs the shell to eject it. one time the end of mine broke off and it took me awhile to realize it was the faulty piece. symptoms were same as you. something else to look at. good luck.
