Thanks for the detailed reply. How can I identify the different sleeves and how can I tell if my 3" barrel is the kind you are describing?

Can anyone help me ID whether or not the action sleeve on my Remington 1100 would work with 3" loads? I have a spare 1100 I just refinished and I have two barrels for it - an 18" 2 3/4" chamber HD/tactical barrel and a 26 or 28" (can't remember off the top of my head) 3" chamber barrel with...

Good info. I'm anxious to take it to the range to see what it will feel like. Of course, my only shotgun experiences to compare to really are 1100s and the odd heavy trap gun. I'm not a fan of the ATI so far. I'm guessing it will go on the chopping block. I do like the rail front end...

Aha, I get you. That makes sense. Too bad, though. Few of my weapons get out nowadays as we've got kids in the house and free time is at a premium. But, point taken. I can't wait to take this out. I just found out recently that my boss-to-be is a big shotgunner and is planning on...

There are a few wear marks. Good thing I've got that shotshell loader in the garage. Granted, I only loaded trap loads on it back in the day but it's better than nothing. I've got a couple of 1100's and one was going to be my HD gun, but I think it's going to become a 3-gun & hunting gun...

A local shop had an 870 on the shelf with Trijicon Scattergun Tech ghost ring sights, ATI AR-type stock w/5-shell side saddle, sling, 6-shell receiver side-saddle, mag extension, Surefire 3-rail forend, and drilled & tapped Picatinny rail for $480. As we were removing the side-saddle to...

Thanks for helping to beat me to the punch on the photos. I like both the G19 (my current one is a 19C) and the USPc9. I got such a good deal on both they had to enter the stable. The only drawbacks to the USPc9 IMHO are: -Mediocre to poor trigger -13 round capacity on 9mm (I'm a 9mm...

Amen to that. It would have been cool to read, "Yeah, it's worth $1k" but that's unreasonable. Maybe I'll have more time to be a regular if/when I get this 870 this week.

Thanks, that's a big help. I didn't expect it to be valuable, I just wanted to ID it.

I received this shotgun trigger assembly in a batch of reloading gear from a friend of mine who passed away. All of his shotguns were running so it's not from anything of his. Plus, I compared it to my 1100 and it's not an 1100 (safety's in the front, for one thing) and IIRC that rules out an...

If the J-Lock works like the J-Lock on the Remington 700 bolt shroud, it can be locked without the key. However, you always need the key to unlock it. So, the idea of inadvertently locking a weapon that might be a home defense weapon isn't appealing, at least to me. Don't worry - on my...

I'm glad this thread was brought back to life as I may need the advice. This made the difference between getting an 870 I found and leaving it on the shelf.

I can the next time I swing by the safe. Drop me a PM to remind me.

Your transitional looks identical to mine, FEG. Both of mine are in fact 1994s, I checked during a visit to the safe. My nickel one (I should post a pic but all the camera time is going to the baby right now) is 1994 as well, but a B. It has the thumbrest grips, which I find comfortable...

The two I've picked up previously were a brushed nickel finished B model, very nice, and a transitional gun (non-B) different importer but same year of manufacturer - I think they're 94 models. Square triggerguard, round hammer, not-so-great black finish you describe. This same dealer...
