I just picked up a used ( 3 rounds through it) Remington 1100 Youth Model. The person who bought it tried to unscrew the choke tube with a pipe for leverage and twisted the end of the barrel! I paid $250 for a $500 sgn! He sawed the last 3 inches off the barrel and now it's an open choke 18 3/4" barrel. I shot it with #6 shot, #3 buck and slugs. It shot to point of aim at 25 yeards and the pattern with the buck wasn't too bad either! This is something I've been looking for for a few years. An inexpensive 20 ga. semi for the house. My wife can use it without much recoil concerns as it shoots like a puppy even with the slugs! I might even shoot in more shotgun matches now!
