Just picked up my new-to-me 1100 today. The gun came with two barrels (a 26" VR skeet and a 28" plain mod.) and I kinda doubt either of them are original so barrel date codes are useless. I've been trying to find receiver S/N chart or something similar to what some other manufacturers have, but have had no luck. I've also read about a checkering pattern change that took place in or around '79 but I can't find a picture that shows the gen 1 vs the gen 2 checkering. The gun has the solid recoil plate with the curved buttstock
The receiver S/N is L668xxxV if that means anything to anyone.
The gun is a great shape and appears to have had very little use. I'm a happy camper!
Just trying to get a rough idea of the guns age if possible. And pics of the checkering styles would be awesome if someone has a link that shows them.
Thanks in advance for any insight...
