20 gauge barrel question on Rem. 1100's

[bernie]

How interchangable are the barrels on Remington 1100 20 gauges. Would an 1100 LT20 barrel fit an 1100 LW 20 gauge gun?

According to Kuhnhausen, the 1100 LT barrel has a 1 1/2" barrel extension like an 870, the 1100 LT-20 has a 3 1/2" barrel extension like an 1100.

I think Lee meant to say the LW has the short extension, because the ejector is in the receiver, and the LT has the long extension. An LT barrel can be made to fit an LW, as can an 870LW barrel, but either is far from a drop in job.
