I have 2 Winchester model 1100 pump shot guns, 12 &20 gauge. They are not Remington model 1100 semi-autos. I am wanting a 20-gauge barrel with the Win-choke system. What model will interchange with the model 1100? I think the 1100 is a close design of the 1200, just made in Canada. Thanks for any help.
Cannot say that I have ever heard of a Winchester Model 1100 shotgun.Is it possible one or more of the numbers is light struck,so it looks different than what it should?Pictures would be of great help.There was a Winchester Model 2200.:)
The Model 2200 was a Canadian version of the Model 1200.
I believe there was a Win model 1100 semi auto known as the widow maker? Production into the 1920’s. Or was it a model 11?

Model 1911… and a real ugly duckling!

The poster said they had a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge version of the gun.I believe the Model 1911 was made in 12 gauge only.So I would think it was not a Model 1911 ,unless one was converted to 20 gauge
The gun pictured does look like a Model 1400.From what I understand from the ad, the Model 1100 Winchester could be a prototype for a 3 inch Winchester to compete with the Remington Model 1100.
I thank 28 gauge for bringing the Winchester Model 1100 Shotgun sold at Rock Island to my attention. I have had a good look at it, and it is the Model 1400 from 1993 manufacture – as confirmed by the serial number N1164010.
For comparison I have uploaded a left and right view of # N1165XXX Model 1400 12 Ga 28in VR Win Bl, (from my data base). Unfortunately Rock Island did not provide a close up of the closed breech or the barrel address, but I agree with Rock Island that “This shotgun appears to be a prototype assembled by the Winchester factory” because thes entire gun looks authentic. I cannot imagine why they would have used a Remington barrel, as a Model 1200 Magnum barrel with gas holes drilled would be just as good.
To go back to Bigpig, I have never seen in any catalog from the 1960s to 2006 any mention of a Model 1100. I do not doubt that you have the models you describe, but would love to see some photos and the serial number, and know where you got them.
Just a general comment on the much maligned Model 1911, I have two and once I lengthened the stock with a recoil pad I found it as good as my other 12 Ga guns for Sporting Clays. I have no problem using reloads, provided they are AAs and properly crimped.
