Canvasback, thanks for that info sir. Not worth it for sure on a low end gun. I have been a Remington fan for a long time. I have many Remington rifles and a few 1100 LT and LW 20's. My youngest rifle was born in 2001. I feel like the quality, as with several manufactures, is lacking in recent history. And for some reason I don't find the 1900 Remingtons very attractive. I have looked at several. A friend of mine has one that he will never part with.

On a side note I did not realize until a few weeks ago that Remington filed for bankruptcy again and is actually being parted out by the courts. Damn shame.
