VASCAR2 Wrote:Another option might be Manns Sporting Goods at 515 W Water St, Pinckneyville, IL 62274. Phone (618) 357-2911, at one time Manns was an authorized Remington Repair center. A Friend (FFL) has used Manns several times to get shotguns repaired. One was a State Police 12 gauge Remington 1100 modified by Sage Int. with a collapsable stock. Sage modified Remington shotguns for LE/Military use back in the 70s/80s.
Looks like Mann sold his business to an employee in 2017. Mann retired but the new owner is a gunsmith and might still be a Remington Premier authorized service center. Here is a link to Mann SG FB page.

If you do a search there a couple of news articles on Manns retirement in 2017.
I just called Mann's and they are backlogged 30 or so guns at this time ( Christmas and deer season). Justin said that anyone needing work on their gun to call back after the first of the year. He has an assortment of reamers Both 12 Ga and 20 Ga. He can recut a chamber and test the shotgun.
You might want to checkout Mann's FB page. They have some nifty Politically Incorrect pictures and comments. During the first Civil War, people living in Southern Illinois were called "Copperheads" for their Southern sympathies and general lack of support for the Federal government!
Thank you VASCAR2 and jasper2408
