Will it not fire or will it not eject ? If the o-ring isn't there, it'll not eject. If the o-ring is there and the 2 medal pieces are lined up so both gaps are together ,it won't eject either.

More info,please.

Wish I could help, I know nothing about the inner workings of the 1100.

The more info you can get posted in here, the better your chances of a GB member helping you clear it up. Good luck

You would probably have better luck over at the Gunsmithing forum on this site. Hope you get it worked out. Dale

Autos are realllll tricky.  You HAVE to take them all the way apart when you clean them.  Forend off, all o-rings, tubes, springs, etc, need to come off, be cleaned and put back on clean and dry.  If you use a wet lubricant, it will make it stick.  Same thing with the bolt.  Now the main spring (in the stock) is something that I don't clean everytime, but pretty often, but every part in the gas system has to come off.
