Lee Watne Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 I was checking out the Remington web sight parts department when I noticed a change in the piston/piston seal part for the 11-87, 11-96, and 1100. I ordered the assembly and it is two rings that snap together rather than two seperate rings. Have any of you had any problems with the old parts? Has anyone tried the new parts? I also wonder why they made the change. Is this the answer to a question that hasn't been asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 My 11-87 just took a dump on me. Wouldn't cycle trap loads. I would like to know as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Watne Posted November 25, 2002 Author Share Posted November 25, 2002 Do you have the new gas piston assembly? Clean mag tube, piston and seal with gaps at 180 degrees? Gas ports open? Sometimes changing brands of shells will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I just replaced my old seals with the new style on my 11-87. My old gas ring was the 2 separate rings and I blew a chunck out of one of them. The new style is working perfectly. Shot a 3-gun match last Sunday with zero malf.

ErikW Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 My bell-bottoms-vintage 1100 still has the original rings (Nu-Line replacement rings as preventive maintenance didn't work) and my Y2K-paranoia-vintage 1100 has the newer one-piece ring. Newer is better in this case; less to clean, and not as easy to assemble incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I am looking for the Remington piston seal but I just see the piston assembly in brownells. What is the official name of the seal part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Watne Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 The new piston and piston seal is officialy: Piston/Piston Seal Assembly. Remington part number is 200295. This one part number takes place of the old two part numbers. I ordered mine from Remington. You can't order it on line but you can print a order form and they were very quick with the order, like within a week and I live in Alaska.

SGDM Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I have been using the new gas seal in my 11-87 for about 8 months now. I installed the new seal and drilled out the ports to .100 and the gun will run on $3.00 a box Wal-mart #8. Use plenty of oil on the system and it will run every shot.

I run my mag tube completely dry. No lube whatsoever (as recomended by Jim Clark Jr). Runs fast and keeps running that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleL Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Definately lots of lube onthe tube. I normally clean the tube, then lube it heavily with Rem Spray lube or Fastex. I have been able to shot 1000 rounds before cleaning the gas system again. This is as per Remington, Bennie Cooley and Mikey Voigt. KyleL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Snyder Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 definitely go with the new ring for the 1100 as well as the McFarland style single ring for the AR (my 3 segment set was done at about 3000 rounds)...for you that haven't settled on one specific lube, try Mercury Outboard Quicksilver 2cycle racing oil, it is designed to dissipate carbon, and really works well controlling carbon buildup on an AR bolt and the mag tube of the 1100... regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Oh, so this is a lube/no-lube mag tube poll now, is it? OK... Keep it dry and keep it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
