Remington 1100 barrel

[gomer pyle]

Are all Remy 1100 barrels the same? I.E. old guns to new guns? I have an older 1100 that I love but it has a skeet only barrel. I plan to order a new barrel with screw in chokes and just wanted to make sure the "new" barrels fit "old" guns.

Is the anything else I would need to change? I plan to pick up some o-rings.

From what I understand the only difference is the Remcoke or fixed choke. I've swapped the 28" barrel off of my mid 80s 1100 with my recent made 1100 Trap 30" barrel without a problem.

I have an old Rem1100 12ga magnum. It came with a 30" fixed full choke "magnum" barrel. That bbl only has one gas port, so it will not reliably cycle light loads. I bought a new 22" Competition Master Rem1100 bbl from Midwayusa to use in 3gun. It has screw-in chokes and 2 gas ports. It cycles everything I've fed it. The only thing is the matte black finish of the new bbl does not match the high-gloss blued finish of my receiver, but I think it actually looks kind of cool.

Are extended chokes worth the money? Best one for the money?

No but if you're interested in extended or ported Rem Chokes I think I have some lying around the house.

[gomer pyle]

Yeah, let me know what you have and how much.

[shotgunshooter]

Send me a PM and I'll let you know tomorrow.

My preference is extended tubes.  Simply easier and quicker to change tubes and easy to tell at a glance what choke you are using.

The original fixed choke 1100 barrels were fairly thin. When they went to Rem chokes the Muzzle area were made thicker to take the threading. The entire barrels were made thicker, which changed the weight and handling. Remington has since introduced "light contour" barrels which are thinner except for the Muzzle area for the chokes. So no, not all 1100 barrels are the same. You may need a different forend. It depends...
