Sling attachment guidance for the Remington 1100 (field). Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Shotgun Sling. Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
12-gauge aftermarket adapter option — aftermarket attachment option.
GG&G documents an 1100/1187 front adapter for 12-gauge models, with a forearm exclusion. Check its current model-specific compatibility.
Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance.
Rear attachment
Stock attachment not confirmed — not confirmed for every configuration.
Factory equipment varies or is not established here. GG&G documents a rear adapter option; that does not prove every field-model stock needs it.
Attachment details are not confirmed for every configuration. Check the exact model and manufacturer documentation before buying hardware.
Why this sling on the Remington 1100 (field)
A hunting shotgun spends most of the day carried, not shouldered — across fields, in and out of a blind, over a boat gunwale. The sling needs to sit still while walking and come off fast when a bird flushes.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the shotgun against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the shotgun. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Questions
Does the McLean Shotgun Sling fit the Remington 1100 (field)?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Remington 1100 (field)?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the Remington 1100 (field)?
Front: Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance. Rear: Attachment details are not confirmed for every configuration. Check the exact model and manufacturer documentation before buying hardware.
What length sling do I need for the Remington 1100 (field)?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
