hey all,
I recently purchased a new barrel for my 1100 to replace the original to be able to have the convenience of choke tubes. The original barrel is a fixed modified barrel with two gas ports not a magnum 2&3/4” shells only. The cycling of the gun works flawlessly with the barrel.
The new barrel however will not cycle at all. It also is not a magnum 2&3/4” shells only but it only has one gas port.
I guess I have two questions since clearly the issue is the lack of the second gas port in the new barrel.
1: Can a second gas port be drilled?
2: What would be the purpose of this barrel is you need two holes to cycle with a non-magnum round?
Any feedback would be great.
