Remington 100 Gunsmithing Tools

Identifying the Model

• The Remington 100 is also known as the SPR, or Spartan 100. It is a single-shot, break-away shotgun. The weapon was originally designed and produced by Baikal Arms, located in the Russian federation. The trigger is fashioned out of titanium, and the principle wood is walnut. The plating is made out of nickel, and receivers are blued-steel. It comes in 12-gauge, 20- gauge and 410-gauge models.

Products

• Unlike other Remington models -- for which specific gunsmithing tools are produced -- no such products exist for the SPR100 as of 2011. While a universal kit exists for Remington's tactical shotguns, there is no such kit for sporting shotguns; this is the category under which the SPR100 falls. The lack of a universal kit does not prove much of a problem, due to the weapon's design.

Considerations

• Due to the fact that the SPR100 is a break-away, single-shot, a large collection of gunsmithing tools are not required. Because the receiver portion is disassembled through the use of an internal lever mechanism, it can be disassembled without the use of a screwdriver. The two tools required are the trigger-lock key and screw tightener; both of these are normally included with the trigger-lock kit. Make sure that these items are included when you purchase the weapon. If the tools are not included, ask your local retailer to order them for you. An operational trigger lock is mandated by law in a number of states and muncipalities.

Cleaning

• A few essential tools are needed to clean and maintain your SPR100. According to the official manual supplied by Remington, these tools include a "cleaning rod, cotton-bore patches, brass-bore brush, powder solvent, a small soft brush and good quality gun oil." For the solvent, Remington recommends purchasing its own Remington Brite-Bore product. For the gun oil, the manufacturer suggests Rem Oil.
