I can't get this duck gun outta my head...
Are these Remington 1100 16ga made on a 12ga frame or 20ga frame?
Maybe an actual 16ga frame?
I could use another project.  |

EmtyMag,
I do believe that gun was built on the real 16 frame, just like the old Rem 58 Sportsman. Great Woodie Guns both, nice for Pheasants also. The opposite side of the old Rem 58 has the Ducks and dogs engraved on her. Gifted the 58 to my best friend for Christmas years ago.

Pine Creek,
I do love to duck hunt so long as someone else does the duck eating.
I have tried duck many times cooked different ways but just can’t stand the taste.
I do agree it’s going to be a great bird gun. |

| The 12, 16, and 20 gauge 1100s shared the same frame in the beginning, which was the same size as the 16-gauge 11-48, i.e., smaller than the 12-gauge 11-48. Later the 20 gauge moved over to the same frame as the 28 and .410 gauges. |

The 1100 - 16 Gauge is built on the same frame as the 12 gauge.
A 12 gauge barrel will fit on the 16 gauge receiver. Change the barrel and a few more parts and you have yourself a 12 gauge.
My question about this is, who cares? The 1100 - 12 gauge is one of the few guns that most reasonably experienced shooter can pickup and shoot well. The exact same thing can be said about the 1100 - 16. Very easy to shoot well. One of the softest recoiling shotguns ever built.
You can't say that about most other shotguns.
The only folks that seem to have an issue with this is those that insist that a 16 gauge shotgun has to be light. |

Gentlemen,
I am sure not expert on any kind of Semi-Auto guns, however when you put the old 58 up against the newer 1100 the 58 is definitely smaller and lighter. The gun he pictured in the post seems to be the same size as the old 58. Not hunting with either for many years, the older 1100 seemed to be a bigger framed gun.
all the best,

| That’s odd, because the 58 is built with the exact same receiver and many interchangeable parts as an 870 of the same gauge, and I’m pretty sure the 1100s are the same size as 870s, too. And, as discussed, all 870s were built on a scaled 16 ga frame until the 70s, when the smaller frame guns were introduced. |
