Love to watch a master gunsmith at work. Subtle complexity. Now I know why 1100 haters call them 1099’s. One part is usually broken, and there are a lot of them.

I have one of these from the 70s from gramps. Not been fired in 4 decades. I've been too busy to fix it up.

Thanks for the demo on an 1100 take down.👍

I would never attempt to strip down my 1100 like you do Andrew. Never in a million years. A basic field strip to clean and check the o rings and that’s about it. Greetings from Canada.

While I appreciate your video, and your commentary about the operation and parts inspection, I have to give it a 2-1/2 out of 5 stars. This is due to the camera being zoomed out. It is equivalent to trying to read an eye chart from one-hundred yards away. Other than that, it's a good video.

Agreed. Very informative but I am a visual learner and the video is pretty dark.
