X3 I've killed everything from doves to geese with mine. Called Remington one time with a question. They were top notch to me!

Not sure what It would cost to get dipped, but im sure it would be around the same price as buying a new one from mossy.

Seems you haven't! ::)
Back in the early/mid 90s Remington did exactly the same thing when they brought out their Turkey Express 870 with the 21"(?) barrel. It was at least two years before you could order that barrel alone. They wanted to sell the whole gun. I have a friend that hasn't bought anything Remington since. He's still p.o.ed
I've seen quite a few different autos run in pit blinds for 1000s of shots. Out of several 1187s, can't remember a single problem. Can't say that for the others :D
:popcorn:
i always had great service
I quit using Remington automatics a long time ago. I have had too many instances with both 1100's and 1187's jamming and becoming single shots. Since I started shooting Berettas (390, 3901, & 391) around twelve years ago I have had zero malfunctions. They continue to function no matter the conditions and how many rounds you run through them. I rarely ever see Remington autos on the dove fields in south GA, except for some ol' timers, and never in the duck blinds in Mississippi and Arkansas, at least among the fellows I hunt with.

My Dad is a die Hard Remington Man. Ive seen a few 1100 actions freeze up when the temps get cold. Ive seen a few o rings go bad. Never heard anything bad about the 1187 though. I prefer beretta 390s myself. Have two, about to get another.

22 years without a problem i think im good :z-winnersmiley:
I had bad experience with Remington on a gun 11 mons old. Sold the gun and was left with a bad taste for this american co. The good thing is that most remingtons don't require customer service. But if you do I hope you are treated like you are appericated as a customer.
Buy the stock off of gunbroker or combatstocks for $75shipped and send it off and have it dipped. It's the same stock and I guarantee it will be about the same price if would be to buy one directly from mossy. Also if you don't care if your camo matches my a mydipkit and do it yourself.
That's what I plan to do.

I've seen many 1187s put through pure hell in rice fields and they still went "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM" as Phil would say :D
The problem with the majority of Reminton autos as well as many other autos I've seen has been improper cleaning(especiially with your "freeze up" comment).Autos do not like oil smeared on everything like many think and that goes for most autos(not just Rem). Clean them well, wipe oil on, wipe it off, and carry on. While I haven't had any problems with O-rings, that's also an item that benefits from proper cleaning(quite cheap to replace as well).
I kept my options open for the best lightweight auto shotgun on my latest shotgun purchase and after looking at many, I went with the SX3. My 1187s are much heavier than the SX3, but they control recoil much better IMO Matter of fact the 1187s control recoil better than any auto I've shot.
Have a good one,
Reloader
Quotethe 391 is the finest gas operated auto out there.
Better than the SX3? :D
I've used both Mossberg's and Remington's customer service departments on more than one occassion and have been more than satisfied. They answered my questions and the reps were always knowledgeable and polite.
