Dinosaur Days.

Back in the 80s when I had my shop, most days were spent cleaning/fixing Remington 870s 1100s, and A5s of different makes. As I recall, the trigger groups on the 870 and 1100 were identical. Easy peasy to remove, replace parts, work on, etc. But standard practice with an 1100 on every cleaning job was a new gas ring. We kept a cardboard box full of them on the bench. Very little else ever went wrong with them or the 870s. Still the best shotgun bang for the buck. IMO.

The farmers, ranchers, and pumpers would bring theirs in once a year whether it needed cleaning or not. Even remotely clean would require a complete strip down of every part on the gun. It was good OJT.
