OK, so now that Remington is no more parts may or may not be hard to get in the future.

For those of you who own an 11-87 any suggestions on any spare parts I might want to pick up now?
 
Yes, looks like
• Roundhill Group, LLC as the Successful Bidder pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C with respect to the non-Marlin Firearms Business; and Huntsman Holdings, LLC and Century Arms, Inc. as the Backup Bidders thereto pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D with respect to certain Firearms Business IP assets and Exhibit E with respect to certain non-Marlin Firearms Business inventory, respectively;
would be who would be taking over that part.


But unlike some of the other parts bought by Ruger, PSA, etc, Roundhill did not appear to have anything to do with firearms before the buy.

Even if Remington/New name will have parts still not a bad idea to pick up any small spares that tend to break over time.
I have various bits and pieces for my other guns but not for the 11-87 yet.
 
For my 11-87P,

After years and, perhaps, thousands of rounds, the only thing which has broken so far has been a right-side shell latch. I suppose the left-side could also break but has not yet done so. (Edit: there's only a right side feed latch; no left side latch.)

I've also replaced the magazine spring, a more recently designed seal kit, and, as needed, the o-ring:

What I could have replaced but not (yet) done so is the entire trigger plate assembly:

My trigger plate assembly doesn't trip the bolt upon manually chambering its first round, but functions fine when shooting.

I have around 30,000 rounds run in my 11-87 since about 1992. All I have managed to replace are about 8 O-rings. 99.9% of the shells have been target loads, but it's still cycling them fine.

I have broken one of the rings that ride along the gas tube that seat against the O-ring on one of my 1100's.
 
An 11-87 does not have right and left shell latches. I have seen plenty pop out of the staking, but VERY few broken. I just glue them back, and I have a staking tool.
The old style gas piston and piston seal work better than the new snap together style.
O rings do not move or wear out in service, but they are so cheap you may as well get a pack. You want Viton.
I have an 1100 with over 115,000 rounds thru it, many heavy magnums, and the only part to ever fail was an extractor in 1982. The 11-87 was designed with a wider extractor to eliminate this potential weakness. The original metal V ring was replaced with an O ring in 1966 or '67 so I wouldn't lose that V ring. That O ring is still going strong - call it a test in progress.
 
Years ago I came upon a display rack of spare parts for the 11-87 (bubble packs) in a gun shop on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I bought the bolt assembly repair parts kit. I have had my 11-87 SP since 1988 and shot countless shells from slugs to dove loads. Have replaced about 4 "O" rings and 1 bolt cocking handle. I don't know if they still might have kits like this in the older brick and mortar gun shops but it might be worth a look.
