Thanks ive had the same problem for 5 years

Wow. I’ve had this issue for 20 years. Thank you Sir.

I had the same problem after performing disassembly and then re-assembling the carrier.  Must have bent that carrier latch.  I found your video very useful.  It is great to be living during the time of YouTube DIY repair!

Much appreciated, got this gun as a 12yr. Old from my father, it developed this prob shortly after, I did figure out the reach in to release but never went further, glad to have it working as it should now. (. 44 yrs. old now)

Thank you for this. This jam occurred to me this afternoon while shooting trap. I had seen your video and when I got home I applied your 'fix' and this was very satisfactory. The tab was quite firm and it took a small needlenose plier to apply the bend to the tab. Remington should put a sort of kerb to the edge of the release to prevent the tab from sliding off. Actually I was stunned at the lack of what I would call quality. None of these parts are milled.  Accounts for the under $ 1000.00 cost

You are welcome. The carrier latch sticking is a more common problem than I thought. The Remington 1100 is an excellent gun but I guess that since there are several million of them out there it is not surprising that a few should malfunction.

Great video. After watching fixed my 1100 without taking the trigger group out. Just bent that piece of metal as u did. Works great thanks for the quick fix!

I love Ireland and I hope to visit there again.

Thanks for that video - just developed the same problem and found this fix!

you tube has the answer for everything ,, your video was great very i nearly had the same problem except my PUSH was un-hooking it self from the carrier after watching ur video and STARING at the workings of the push and carrier i figured out the latch pin holding the push must of some how gotten a little bent ,locked it in the fully open position and tapped it carefully back , i emailed Remington wit the serial no it my first gun and they told me it was made 1982 too still in great nick,IRELAND

I just figured this out yesterday. Lol exactly the way you said it

does your wife know you're fixin' guns on her counter? :) haha

The bolt action can also lock up due to the carrier release being bent forward.  Pulling the trigger while the trigger group is not in the receiver causes the hammer to whack the carrier release, bending it forward.  So - #1 - don't pull a cocked trigger on the trigger group if it's not in the gun, and #2 - be prepared bend it forward a bit with small pliers, if you're caught in the field (trap field, skeet field, actual hunting field) with a locked action.

Mars952.....many thanks - same problem on mine and turned into a 5 minute fix thanks to your video.  Mine did demonstrate more inherent side to side motion in the lever which caused the issue..

thank you sir I'll give it a try, my 1187 does the same thing

My gun smith will love this video

@Mars1952 - Just wanted to say thanks for this Vid.  Great Help!  I have the same problem with my 1100.  Can't wait to go home and fix it....so annoying when it catches\sticks!!!!!  Especially when I am shooting Sporting clays.

I have never had this problem with my 1100. but if it ever occurs I will know how to deal with it. thanks!

I would have to look it up.

Great video. This is exactly what my carrier latch was doing. This is the fix. Thank you very much for this video. Latch is working great now.
