remington 1100 charging handle

The Remington 1100 shotgun features a charging handle located on the right side of the receiver, which is used to manually cycle the action of the firearm. To operate the charging handle, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the shotgun is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Locate the charging handle on the right side of the receiver, just behind the ejection port.
3. Grasp the charging handle firmly with your dominant hand.
4. Pull the charging handle rearward and release it, allowing it to spring forward.
5. Repeat this process as necessary to cycle the action and load or eject shells from the magazine tube.

It is important to note that the Remington 1100 is a semi-automatic shotgun, meaning that it will automatically cycle the action when fired, ejecting the spent shell and loading a new one from the magazine tube. However, the charging handle can be used to manually cycle the action in case of a malfunction or to unload the firearm.
