My grandfather passed away recently, and I inherited this gun brand new in the case! I’m glad I came across this video, I was going to assemble it but I think I’m going to leave it in the case and pass it on to my children! Good video
One of the many reasons I subscribe to this channel is to learn about different makes and models of guns I've never heard of. It seems I didn't know as much as I thought I did. Thanks for broadening my knowledge in firearms.
I have one of these that I obtained while working at the Remington Research and Development center during its development. I was not part of the design group but part of the test and measurement group and got to see this product be developed and went on many field tests throughout its design phase. There was actually an initial version of this and and then the 105 cTi II though I don't recall what the enhancement of the second version corrected over the initial version. I still shoot mine regularly and have absolutely no problems as long as I stick with 2-3/4" game and field loads that are around standard velocities. if I try to shoot a 3" heavy payload shell then I would have some issues but I don't have a need to shoot those type heavy loads with this gun so no big deal for me. Best I can remember the designers wanted this to be a 2-3/4" only field gun which I agree with but marketing said it had to shoot the lightest of 2-3/4 and heaviest of 3 loads. Then I believe the bigger problem was getting this gun to shoot that range of shells given the needed manufacturability and tolerance/price of the components. In fact I will tell you that one thing I learned quickly from testing every other auto loader mfg is that none of them would reliably and continuously shoot the complete range of loads that they said they would. This should be no surprise. The great thing about this gun is that it is light since it had the titanium receiver but with the supercell recoil pad is also very comfortable to shoot. Plus I am left handed and having the shells eject out the bottom is a great feature. Glad I own one and its the only gun I take to the field for doves, rabbits, etc.
I have one and shoot informal skeet/sporting clays monthly using 1200FPS target ammo either Remington or Winchester brand. I keep it clean and well lubricated with RemOil. In 5 years I've had only one or two jams, no more than with my 11-87. I love the gun and will continue to shoot it for many more years.
Cheap and mostly badly made Benelli clone . Think it over. Don't start your 'semi" life with a second grade firearm .Wait for your next free money from Biden and buy a real Italian..lol. Beretta, Benelli..
Unlike most people with an opinion about the Stoegers, I actually have real world experience... I own a 2000, one of the guns everyone loved to hate thanks to the internet but never shot one. This is actually my second, the first I sold and regretted it instantly. Between the two guns, neither ever failed, not even once. I've ran everything from light target loads, up to heavy pheasant loads. 3 inch steel for ducks and occasionally slugs just for schnitz'n'giggles. I special ordered a 24 inch barrel, as I prefer short barrels, but go back and forth between the two. If the 3000 is half as reliable as my 2000, you are making a wise choice.
Excellent choice man I have an m3000 in Max 5 and dropped it in the mud and it still worked!! Stoeger is owned by beretta which own Benneli and franchi and it’s the same quality for much less! I’d do it man
Dont listen to this guy that says there junk....i the as he calls it real Italian benilli super black eagle 3 and its very ammo picky with light loads.( normal with light loads in a magnum shotgun)....but my stoeger m3500 is a magnum shotgun and runs the same light loads no problem
Mike, I’ve never seen one of these before, at least not that I can remember. I’ve always had 1100’s, 870’s, and 11-87’s. I’ve always done quite well with them so I was pretty happy. But it’s great to see a rare model like you have here. I will keep my eyes open for one of them! Thank you for a great presentation!!!
I really hope that someone picks up Remington’s pieces and starts building 870s, 1100s,etc like they did back in the 50s-80s. Mike I’d like to see you do a video do a video on the Browning BPS. Thanks!
The Rem 1100 was a great gun , in both 2 3/4 and 3" then came steel loads with increased pressures , so Rem developed the 1187 , this handled the extra pressure just fine , then came the 3½ steel loads and the 1187 had reached the end of its development . I remember talking to a development engineer from Remington . He told me when they made the first prototypes they shot them until something broke , found out what broke and why , re designed the part and kept shooting until something broke again , etc etc . I was impressed with this idea , I asked why it was only 3" not 3½" , he said because of its weight it was more of an upland game gun , The first one I had through the shop broke , as did subsequent ones , what a disappointment. When Rem first bought out the plastic cases , you couldn't stack them in the store safe as they slid all over the place , so they came out with a cardboard box over the case , problem solved . If you are going to buy any new gun as an investment try to keep the cardboard box the gun came in . This always helps with resale presentation even if the firearm is used, also guns which have sold in small numbers because of faults , will never gain a high collector value .
It is a big mistake to try and replace a good reliable work horse. A steel receiver may be expensive but people will still pay for quality. Remington's big mistake is they let finish quality slip.
Mike, like you, I enjoy unique firearms... and, that Remington is a sweet one. I do not own one, but you wetted my appetite. I enjoy taking 'off the beaten trail' firearms to the range or the field. They are great conversation starters. Hopefully it helps spur others to get into the collection game to some degree. As you know, it brings a great deal of joy to bring home a piece that you had to work for versus just walking in and buying off the shelf.
Well done Mike for a very informative subject. It surprises me that I was so far out of the loop that I missed this one entirely! I live 12 miles from Ilion NY and I have never heard of this project. That said i have to admit that it doesn't really appeal to me. The boys at "Big Green "experimented with a formed "sheet metal" receiver for the 870 in the 70s I think. In all fairness I think it was maybe 5 16ths thick with brazed pieces on each end. It would have saved a lot on materials but the guys in sales had made such a big deal out of the one piece machined receiver that it was unacceptable. They called it the "unibody receiver". I have one or the blocks of 41-40 that was destined to be an 870 and it weighs in like a sledge hammer head. That's an awful lot of chips!
Mike, Keep an eye out for a Remington 11-96! It was made for 2 years and in my opinion the finest all around semi auto shotgun Remington has ever made(12ga.) only ! The weight is just under 7 pounds and it handles like a dream!
Very Interesting , I always look forward to watching Your next video and perhaps seeing some other rare /unique firearms . Thank You . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.
I remember. The recession hit and nobody was interested in spending for these. They were pricey, unproven and very light. And in terms of competition, miroku browning had some 'new' (cosmetics) autos at that time. But absolutely - these and the 'break action' Beretta UGB25 autoloader were ones to buy. Great vid. Thanks
Didn't knew about this model. Maybe because my interests are in C&R guns. My shotgun's wishlist is owning a Sjögren, Remington Model 17 and 31 and a Winchester Model 42. I bought two Winchester Model 50s for under 150 each. Seems to me that almost no one knew about them or had a bad reputation. But a friend and I used them for dove hunting and we never had a single failure. Very good shotguns! I think you can still find them for under 200 bucks. Not collectable, but a very good semiauto for an excellent price.
I really appreciate ur uploads . I usually pick up my sought after choices at estate sales . It's like waiting for ur turn on the merry go round at a county fair when u was younger . Although last one I attended the items brought two n three times there worth . Perhaps for obvious reasons n our declining free country .
Thank you for sharing, highly appreciated.👍 It’s the first time that I know this kind of gun, it’s nice. Taiwan’s people would say it’s not expensive. Restrictions on guns may be the strictest in the world, absolutely no individual is allowed to buy legal real guns in Taiwan, and there’s no legal guns can be bought. People have no chance to touch shotgun, only at shooting range of shooting association; members must pay huge amounts of money, including membership fee & management fee per month; there’s no gun ownership, can not be allowed to bring gun out of shooting range. The minimum gun price at least US$5,000 to no limit; very few people are affordable; that’s a way for somebody can take advantage of the strictest restrictions on guns, then earn & share money. At one word, old government settled strict laws, rulers didn’t like people to own gun for shooting, the extreme goal is no gun, no shooting, no hunting; everybody is quiet, easier to be ruled; but old rulers & their family’s members have guns, they were privileged, they oppressed people. Now, same laws are used, not much different. Millions people are eager to buy guns; if there’s opening, millions guns will be sold out within one second. There’s sad history in Taiwan’s island, it’s a long long story; people just got rid of terrible ruling, they have a Memorial Day of peace on Feb. 28, just passed yesterday; victims’ family members cried; is it easily to forget the pain of old rulers’ slaughtering? Can you imagine old rulers killed people, tortured people, brought soldiers from mainland China, they used machine guns, rifles, bayonets to kill a lot of innocent people in the streets or where else? rapped women & killed them, robbed people’s properties; How many cruel things that they did. People want to get freedom, their blood flowed from mountains to ocean. What’s the future will be? What’s real freedom?
I thought Taiwan so close to PPC everyone would do national service and have access to firearms or training at ranges at least, gun laws are strict where I am but at least i can own , shoot and hunt with bolt action , it should be a right
@@dw-yc6qb Thank you for your comment. Regarding military, government should have plans, maybe call it’s weapons or armed; it’s different from civil guns owning; nobody like war, but government may have planned nation’s defense. Regarding civil guns, government prohibited people buying & owning civil guns for hunting or self defense against robbers or other bad guys, it’s strange, quite different from other countries. Bad guys have guns, good guys have no gun, any criminal happened, good guys had been hurt or women had been rapped, they have no way to do defense; police just do subsequent investigations. Regarding hunting, basically it’s prohibited; old government prohibited hunting, they said no hunting, you don’t need shotgun, so confiscated people’s shotguns. Now, wild animals are reproduced a lot, hurt farming, got damaged, people have no guns to do pest control, people asked government open buying shotguns, but no allowed. Opening hunting, no way; terrible strict laws on preservation of animals, preservation groups & Buddhist depend strict bias laws, they are powerful, they speak loudly. For example, a lot of deers in wild lands, some deers went to city areas, caused traffic accidents; those people said don’t shoot deers, just make injection to prevent deers get pregnant. Is there anybody has good method to do injections to prevent wild deers getting pregnant in wild lands? Who can do it?
No country in the World has Free speech and the Right to bear arms ,except the US. So don't feel too bad. Welcome to the club .I'm a Canadian. I feel your pain.
@@johnturner5893 Thank you very much. I’m older, can’t do anything; just experienced despotic ruling, I don’t want to see any possibility to happen bad ruling to the younger generations; don’t let people get tortured or slaughtered again. For guns owning, shotgun for shooting & hunting may be the minimum required, if it’s not allowed, don’t mention others.
USOG, Great video on modern Remington shotguns. You might consider doing a video on the Remington M887 Nitro Mag 12 gauge pump shot gun ( just food for thought). I own one and it is great for duck/goose pit.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thank you, and a merry christmas and happy new year to you and yours and best of health in the new year. Look forward to some more wonderful firearms videos !!
Very thoughtful review of that ill-fated Remington product offering. They are handsome and I felt as thought they pointed like a Franchi AL-48; as if you were holding some otherworldly light alloy design. I think that the problem had to do with price point and the fact that it solved no problem. The 11-87 was the Remington autoloader to beat, but it didn’t. While the 11-87 cycled garbage promo loads and high brass 3” alike, all day, and in any conditions, the 105 was too finicky on its best day. You could maybe find a shell, like you said, that it digested readily, but then using that one shell limits your utility. And so it goes.
A Big Horn Armory lever gun in 460 S&W would allow you to shoot 45 Colt, 454 Casul and the 460 S&W cartridges. The longer barrel would allow you to squeeze even mor performance out of it.
I remember reading an article in field & stream magazine about these years ago. I've always thought the 1100 was a good shotgun, they are holding their value well.
Hello B Willis - the 1100 is a swan among crows - a gem of a shotgun! Steel receiver, superb gas system - no one who knows what's what should ever be distracted by the aluminum and plastic noise...the 1100 is what every semi ought to be.
I almost bought one at a gun store in Pueblo. Still kicking myself for not buying it. Actually, I returned to the store a week or so later and it had been sold.
Happened to me so many times Kenneth - I used to think I was one of few who noticed guns...I learned that informed gun buyers are just about everywhere - in free countries that is : )
Enjoyed the video. Don't believe I have ever seen one of these. Have you done a video on the Versamax. I have had one for a few years now and have had zero issue shooting mostly low brass bird shot out of it. Have you covered the Remington Sportsmaster series.
It’s not. Unless they’ll take it back if it doesn’t cycle or you fancy tinkering with it. I bought one second hand because of its uniqueness without doing much research. I tried 5 different brands of cartridge and none would cycle reliably. I couldn’t find spares in the uk. luckily the shop I bought it from gave me a full refund. I would add that I have read some of the later models do work.
Yes, I have seen them. My idea of them was that it was a "semi-auto Ithaca Model 37" . I have heard terrible, and wonderful things, about them. Reportedly some of them work great and others are jam-o-matics.
Good comment gary K - Lately I've heard from owners that report excellent reliability if the action is kept clean with some spray lube in the action before use. Seems reasonable. Thanks for the note.
You mentioned a lot of good information when it comes to collecting guns with an intent to try and make a profit down the road. But, you didn't mention the one thing that is key to any guns purchased with such intent is that the gun either must be discontinued or to have a significant change in its manufacture. If neither of those conditions has happened then the gun will not appreciate in value beyond the ones that are currently made. With respect to keeping guns with all their original accouterments for investment purposes that can easily be the difference between a four and a five figure gun. Things as minuscule as original wrapping paper can have a significant impact down the line. But the thing is that when people buy guns they tend to buy them to shoot. It is only really in hindsight do gun owners realize the significance of an event. For example those who debated between getting a Winchester 9422 or a Henry .22 (before they knew the 9422 was going to be discontinued) and then found out later that there was more to that choice that hadn't yet been known. Another is when Winchester discontinued the pre-64 Model 70 Super Grade and how that was a harbinger for what was going to happen only a few years later to the rest of the pre-64 Model 70 line. Hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to investments, but there are memories to be made shooting guns with friends, family, etc. that have an incalculable value.
I'm a grouse hunter. This gun should have been marketed as a 3 shot 2 3/4 inch gun. I have two Winchester model 59's. With straight stocks. When the 59 came out in the 1960's I could not understand why it didn't have 5 shells. Quit making guns that try to do everything but are good at nothing.
Hi Stephen! I'm a grouse hunter too but I miss a lot...so usually go for my SXS - better for me to miss with 2 shots than 3 : ) I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022!
Which caliber you think more investable, 9.3*62 vs 9.3*57? I am looking at couple Swedish Husky’s for both calibers, Model 46. Any thoughts or tips? Nice job, USOG. I share similar philosophy toward these treasures, probably we share some similarities in life experience, career and vision?!
Hi Doug - I'd buy the 9.3X62 - kicks a bit but better known and sought after; and ammo is more common. Thanks for the kind words and being on the channel!
2 ‘CTI’s’ for sale here in the U.K. £5-600 , one advert says a gun shop has worked on it, it now shoots 24G loads reliably ? 🧐 sounds like a 🍑 idea that turned into a 🍋
I immediately searched guntrader and saw the same! It would be interesting to know whether they are a better gun when actually shooting. After all if they will work with one shell then just stick to it. I certainly like my bottom eject Ithaca and BPS.
They are rare because they didn't sell..... I have a lot 870, and 1100 and didn't have to spend a fortune.. this was the period that Remington started the downhill slide.
Grate gun for decoy shooting.. but 100 shots and you need a hammer to remove the barrel and there's a peace or rubber in the top of the action that swells up and jams
Somewhere between 2000 and 2008 I saw a Winchester Model 70 T/D in a Winchester catalog. I have never seen one or reference to one since. Anybody ever see one?
Hello wunder8962 - So interesting. I always wonder how major manufacturers spend millions on design and tooling, testing and marketing and introduce products that last only a short time on the market - major miscalculations I guess - great collectors items though. All the best.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FLOPS ...THE HYPE WAS HIGH BUT WHEN IT CAME OUT THE ISSUES KEPT COMING ..... A FEW PEOPLE HAD SOME THAT WORKED BUT THERE WERE TOO MANY LEMONS FOR IT TO KEEP THE PRODUCTION GOING.....
People even today complain about semi auto shotguns failing when its them who failed. Ppl still try to shoot cheap low brass today and complain. Its the low brass cheap shells not the gun
Have you ever seen a smooth bolt knob on a Remington 700? It apparently was exclusively made in the 80s. Also has turned plum colored. What about a Remington 700 fiberglass stock made by Brown precision? Only made between 87 and 89 for the 700FS.
Hi Jeramy - I remember a smooth bolt knob on the Remington Sportsman 78 - which sometimes ended up in BDL and ADL stocks - looks sharp; I don't know about the Brown precision stocks - must be very scarce.
I have one of these, its a great gun, very accurate and reliable and comfortable. It does not like to shoot less than 1 1/8oz loads. It won't feed accurately on 1 oz loads. It doesn't care about any other metric. I do shoot mine, just put about 80 rounds through it last weekend. Great gun. Thanks for making this video.
No wonder why Remington is not around as an independent. firearm maker anymore. Waste money developing and building a firearm that was a failure from the beginning. They should have solved the complicated loading system of the 1100.instead Of course IMO Remington was selling this gun at half price what really costing them to manufacture. Failure after failure of the management what killed the old typewriter manufacturer, where once even a Mauser brother was learning the ropes of making guns. "Collectable" is a funny word to use./I guess people travel to Nepal too as a vacation/ . This shotgun will be a reminder of how to kill a 200 years old US company..But thanks for making the video.
Good content as usual USOG, but I'm not a fan of this new naming convention. Feels very click-baity. Like something out of a minecraft video instead of what this actually is, a sit-down overlook of neat guns.
Nope. I’ve never seen that shotgun. Not in a guns store, pawn shop, gun store, or even online.... So don’t sell it, thinking you can easily replace it. That’s got to be pretty rare.... or at least now it is.

There was one at my local gun shop on the used rack a few years back! I remember it being very high quality.
Mike, I’ve never seen one of these before, at least not that I can remember. I’ve always had 1100’s, 870’s, and 11-87’s. I’ve always done quite well with them so I was pretty happy. But it’s great to see a rare model like you have here. I will keep my eyes open for one of them! Thank you for a great presentation!!!
CTI ....wow never saw that before thanks 👌
I really hope that someone picks up Remington’s pieces and starts building 870s, 1100s,etc like they did back in the 50s-80s. Mike I’d like to see you do a video do a video on the Browning BPS. Thanks!
Very interesting. Reminds me of Browning’s Pump shotgun which fed and ejected from the bottom also. Thanks for sharing!
Great review! I really like the bottom shell ejection after using a Browning BPS.
The Rem 1100 was a great gun , in both 2 3/4 and 3" then came steel loads with increased pressures , so Rem developed the 1187 , this handled the extra pressure just fine , then came the 3½ steel loads and the 1187 had reached the end of its development .

The first one I had through the shop broke , as did subsequent ones , what a disappointment.
When Rem first bought out the plastic cases , you couldn't stack them in the store safe as they slid all over the place , so they came out with a cardboard box over the case , problem solved .
If you are going to buy any new gun as an investment try to keep the cardboard box the gun came in . This always helps with resale presentation even if the firearm is used, also guns which have sold in small numbers because of faults , will never gain a high collector value .
I thought the Browning Auto-5 was the ultimate semi-auto hunting/waterfowl gun?! That 105cti is sure interesting in features and designs!
I think you're right - I think the same - but no one agreed with me. People like the Benelli SBE2
It is a big mistake to try and replace a good reliable work horse. A steel receiver may be expensive but people will still pay for quality. Remington's big mistake is they let finish quality slip.
Cool I’ve Never Seen 1 of These Till Now 😮😲😮😀👍🏼 Thanks USOG
Strange calibers? I found a 16 ga. H&R single shot the other day. Just need a 28ga now?
Mike, like you, I enjoy unique firearms... and, that Remington is a sweet one. I do not own one, but you wetted my appetite.

Hi Charley -I'm so glad you're here.
Howdy from Western Colorado!
Howdy neighbor..!!!
When the Remington 105 CTI was released it was reviewed by many hunting magazines here in Portugal, and the shotguns sold out in little time
Mr. USOG- I doubt that I would have been able to resist shooting this shotgun!
Not easy for sure and never often shifts to not now : )
Very cool shotgun,,,excellant presentation ,,,thank you
Finally a gun I could buy and never be tempted to take out of the box to use it.

At one word, old government settled strict laws, rulers didn’t like people to own gun for shooting, the extreme goal is no gun, no shooting, no hunting; everybody is quiet, easier to be ruled; but old rulers & their family’s members have guns, they were privileged, they oppressed people.
Now, same laws are used, not much different. Millions people are eager to buy guns; if there’s opening, millions guns will be sold out within one second.
There’s sad history in Taiwan’s island, it’s a long long story; people just got rid of terrible ruling, they have a Memorial Day of peace on Feb. 28, just passed yesterday; victims’ family members cried; is it easily to forget the pain of old rulers’ slaughtering? Can you imagine old rulers killed people, tortured people, brought soldiers from mainland China, they used machine guns, rifles, bayonets to kill a lot of innocent people in the streets or where else? rapped women & killed them, robbed people’s properties; How many cruel things that they did. People want to get freedom, their blood flowed from mountains to ocean. What’s the future will be? What’s real freedom?
I thought Taiwan so close to PPC everyone would do national service and have access to firearms or training at ranges at least, gun laws are strict where I am but at least i can own , shoot and hunt with bolt action , it should be a right
@@dw-yc6qb Thank you for your comment. Regarding military, government should have plans, maybe call it’s weapons or armed; it’s different from civil guns owning; nobody like war, but government may have planned nation’s defense. Regarding civil guns, government prohibited people buying & owning civil guns for hunting or self defense against robbers or other bad guys, it’s strange, quite different from other countries. Bad guys have guns, good guys have no gun, any criminal happened, good guys had been hurt or women had been rapped, they have no way to do defense; police just do subsequent investigations. Regarding hunting, basically it’s prohibited; old government prohibited hunting, they said no hunting, you don’t need shotgun, so confiscated people’s shotguns. Now, wild animals are reproduced a lot, hurt farming, got damaged, people have no guns to do pest control, people asked government open buying shotguns, but no allowed. Opening hunting, no way; terrible strict laws on preservation of animals, preservation groups & Buddhist depend strict bias laws, they are powerful, they speak loudly. For example, a lot of deers in wild lands, some deers went to city areas, caused traffic accidents; those people said don’t shoot deers, just make injection to prevent deers get pregnant. Is there anybody has good method to do injections to prevent wild deers getting pregnant in wild lands? Who can do it?
No country in the World has Free speech and the Right to bear arms ,except the US. So don't feel too bad. Welcome to the club .I'm a Canadian. I feel your pain.
@@johnturner5893 Thank you very much. I’m older, can’t do anything; just experienced despotic ruling, I don’t want to see any possibility to happen bad ruling to the younger generations; don’t let people get tortured or slaughtered again. For guns owning, shotgun for shooting & hunting may be the minimum required, if it’s not allowed, don’t mention others.
Great video.
Mike alot of people have never seen a Remington 11-96 semi-auto
USOG, Great video on modern Remington shotguns. You might consider doing a video on the Remington M887 Nitro Mag 12 gauge pump shot gun ( just food for thought). I own one and it is great for duck/goose pit.
Thank you Roman - I'll find one : ) I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for you and yours in 2022!
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thank you, and a merry christmas and happy new year to you and yours and best of health in the new year. Look forward to some more wonderful firearms videos !!
Cool gun! I don't own a shotgun anymore... Might be time to pick something up!
Hope you get a shotgun - such a capable firearm; used to be in just about every home.
Very thoughtful review of that ill-fated Remington product offering. They are handsome and I felt as thought they pointed like a Franchi AL-48; as if you were holding some otherworldly light alloy design. I think that the problem had to do with price point and the fact that it solved no problem. The 11-87 was the Remington autoloader to beat, but it didn’t. While the 11-87 cycled garbage promo loads and high brass 3” alike, all day, and in any conditions, the 105 was too finicky on its best day. You could maybe find a shell, like you said, that it digested readily, but then using that one shell limits your utility. And so it goes.
Great comment - almost instant collector's item - the Rem. with the carbon fiber receiver top : )
A Big Horn Armory lever gun in 460 S&W would allow you to shoot 45 Colt, 454 Casul and the 460 S&W cartridges. The longer barrel would allow you to squeeze even mor performance out of it.
The Remington 11-96 has a hump in the Receiver like a old 742 BDL .
Remington 310 skeet rimfire is a rare cool one
That's a rare bird!
I remember reading an article in field & stream magazine about these years ago. I've always thought the 1100 was a good shotgun, they are holding their value well.
Hello B Willis - the 1100 is a swan among crows - a gem of a shotgun! Steel receiver, superb gas system - no one who knows what's what should ever be distracted by the aluminum and plastic noise...the 1100 is what every semi ought to be.
Big Horn Armory? I'd take the 454 Casull over the 500 S&W Mag!
I almost bought one at a gun store in Pueblo. Still kicking myself for not buying it. Actually, I returned to the store a week or so later and it had been sold.
Happened to me so many times Kenneth - I used to think I was one of few who noticed guns...I learned that informed gun buyers are just about everywhere - in free countries that is : )
The price killed it along with 3 rounds ..
It's 5 rounds actually. 4 in the tube and 1 in the chamber. I have one.
Enjoyed the video. Don't believe I have ever seen one of these. Have you done a video on the Versamax. I have had one for a few years now and have had zero issue shooting mostly low brass bird shot out of it. Have you covered the Remington Sportsmaster series.
My local pawn shop has one for $895 I'm tempted to pick up, unsure if it's worth it or not
It’s not. Unless they’ll take it back if it doesn’t cycle or you fancy tinkering with it. I bought one second hand because of its uniqueness without doing much research. I tried 5 different brands of cartridge and none would cycle reliably. I couldn’t find spares in the uk. luckily the shop I bought it from gave me a full refund. I would add that I have read some of the later models do work.
Just to keep it in your wife's china cabinet beside her dust collecting "collectables" would have impressed your buddies lol.
It’s worth it I own one .it will not shoot the low brass 8 11/8 once very well but the rest no problem.
Yes, I have seen them. My idea of them was that it was a "semi-auto Ithaca Model 37" . I have heard terrible, and wonderful things, about them. Reportedly some of them work great and others are jam-o-matics.
Good comment gary K - Lately I've heard from owners that report excellent reliability if the action is kept clean with some spray lube in the action before use. Seems reasonable. Thanks for the note.
Most semi auto shotguns get bad reviews because people don't read the manual. They shoot cheap low brass shells that don't work in semi autos today.
You mentioned a lot of good information when it comes to collecting guns with an intent to try and make a profit down the road. But, you didn't mention the one thing that is key to any guns purchased with such intent is that the gun either must be discontinued or to have a significant change in its manufacture. If neither of those conditions has happened then the gun will not appreciate in value beyond the ones that are currently made.
With respect to keeping guns with all their original accouterments for investment purposes that can easily be the difference between a four and a five figure gun. Things as minuscule as original wrapping paper can have a significant impact down the line. But the thing is that when people buy guns they tend to buy them to shoot. It is only really in hindsight do gun owners realize the significance of an event. For example those who debated between getting a Winchester 9422 or a Henry .22 (before they knew the 9422 was going to be discontinued) and then found out later that there was more to that choice that hadn't yet been known. Another is when Winchester discontinued the pre-64 Model 70 Super Grade and how that was a harbinger for what was going to happen only a few years later to the rest of the pre-64 Model 70 line.
Hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to investments, but there are memories to be made shooting guns with friends, family, etc. that have an incalculable value.
Do you have any Remington "E" rifles? I understand that was another flop. Thanks for the video.
I'm a grouse hunter. This gun should have been marketed as a 3 shot 2 3/4 inch gun. I have two Winchester model 59's. With straight stocks. When the 59 came out in the 1960's I could not understand why it didn't have 5 shells. Quit making guns that try to do everything but are good at nothing.
Hi Stephen! I'm a grouse hunter too but I miss a lot...so usually go for my SXS - better for me to miss with 2 shots than 3 : ) I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022!
They had a lot of ejection problems. They were also extremely pricey when they came out.
@USOG Do you use VCI paper as a rust preventative measure at all?
Which caliber you think more investable, 9.3*62 vs 9.3*57? I am looking at couple Swedish Husky’s for both calibers, Model 46. Any thoughts or tips? Nice job, USOG. I share similar philosophy toward these treasures, probably we share some similarities in life experience, career and vision?!
Hi Doug - I'd buy the 9.3X62 - kicks a bit but better known and sought after; and ammo is more common. Thanks for the kind words and being on the channel!
I have never seen one didn’t even remember it.
2 ‘CTI’s’ for sale here in the U.K. £5-600 , one advert says a gun shop has worked on it, it now shoots 24G loads reliably ? 🧐 sounds like a 🍑 idea that turned into a 🍋
I immediately searched guntrader and saw the same! It would be interesting to know whether they are a better gun when actually shooting. After all if they will work with one shell then just stick to it. I certainly like my bottom eject Ithaca and BPS.
I always wanted one thought if they made a non carbon titanium model to get the price down
If it's that lite it must kick like a mule.
Go listen again.
They are rare because they didn't sell..... I have a lot 870, and 1100 and didn't have to spend a fortune.. this was the period that Remington started the downhill slide.
Definitely one you do not see every day.
Grate gun for decoy shooting.. but 100 shots and you need a hammer to remove the barrel and there's a peace or rubber in the top of the action that swells up and jams
Somewhere between 2000 and 2008 I saw a Winchester Model 70 T/D in a Winchester catalog. I have never seen one or reference to one since. Anybody ever see one?
Rem.
It's too expensive to mill steel receiver...lets make a titanium and carbon fibre unit. That will cut costs.
I guess so
Hi, I would like to ask you a question about a Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1908 sporting rifle, what is the best way to do that?
Hi Alan - Sorry I'm slow. Please email me at usogbyemail@gmail.com
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thanks!
Never worked……that is why they went away. As a lefty I researched this gun and was very disappointed at the info I uncovered.
Hello wunder8962 - So interesting. I always wonder how major manufacturers spend millions on design and tooling, testing and marketing and introduce products that last only a short time on the market - major miscalculations I guess - great collectors items though. All the best.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FLOPS ...THE HYPE WAS HIGH BUT WHEN IT CAME OUT THE ISSUES KEPT COMING ..... A FEW PEOPLE HAD SOME THAT WORKED BUT THERE WERE TOO MANY LEMONS FOR IT TO KEEP THE PRODUCTION GOING.....
People even today complain about semi auto shotguns failing when its them who failed. Ppl still try to shoot cheap low brass today and complain. Its the low brass cheap shells not the gun
Needs more capacity,very nice.
Why?
Have you ever seen a smooth bolt knob on a Remington 700? It apparently was exclusively made in the 80s. Also has turned plum colored. What about a Remington 700 fiberglass stock made by Brown precision? Only made between 87 and 89 for the 700FS.
Hi Jeramy - I remember a smooth bolt knob on the Remington Sportsman 78 - which sometimes ended up in BDL and ADL stocks - looks sharp; I don't know about the Brown precision stocks - must be very scarce.
My dad has a 1100 factory cutaway model, anyone know what it’s worth? We’ve never seen another one.
I have one of these, its a great gun, very accurate and reliable and comfortable. It does not like to shoot less than 1 1/8oz loads. It won't feed accurately on 1 oz loads. It doesn't care about any other metric. I do shoot mine, just put about 80 rounds through it last weekend. Great gun. Thanks for making this video.
No wonder why Remington is not around as an independent. firearm maker anymore. Waste money developing and building a firearm that was a failure from the beginning. They should have solved the complicated loading system of the 1100.instead Of course IMO Remington was selling this gun at half price what really costing them to manufacture. Failure after failure of the management what killed the old typewriter manufacturer, where once even a Mauser brother was learning the ropes of making guns. "Collectable" is a funny word to use./I guess people travel to Nepal too as a vacation/ . This shotgun will be a reminder of how to kill a 200 years old US company..But thanks for making the video.
Dude. I love your videos. But,,,,,,,,,,,,, You make me want to go buy a sweater vest. Don't stop making videos, please.
Thank you Sneaky Rich : ) Gotta love those vests! All the best to you.
Good content as usual USOG, but I'm not a fan of this new naming convention. Feels very click-baity. Like something out of a minecraft video instead of what this actually is, a sit-down overlook of neat guns.
brother you know your stuff but that gun might not be worth a zchet if u never fired it
Nope. I’ve never seen that shotgun. Not in a guns store, pawn shop, gun store, or even online.... So don’t sell it, thinking you can easily replace it. That’s got to be pretty rare.... or at least now it is.
U don't see them
👍👌❤️😊🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
These shotgun where not much alot of hangups and they where way over priced
