Going to be picking up this Remington 1100 in 12 gauge tomorrow. Will have better pictures once I do.
Thinking of going two ways with this one but wanted your advice. Refinish it to semi original condition or made it into an HD shotgun with extended mag tube.
If I were to restore it to original I would strip down the stock and forearm and refinish. With the pitting on the receiver I’m not sure I can get that out so think about have it duracoated.
If it’s to be made into an HD gun can I cut the barrel down, install mag tube and expect it to be reliable? I read somewhere a while back that the different barrel lengths had different size gas holes. Will have to do some more research there.
Thoughts? Keep in mind I already have a 1187 in field condition with 26” barrel
