Hi guys!
I have a Remington 1100 12gauge ( Have not shot much, under 1000 rounds i think ), and have some questions i hope some of you can answer.
First:
The shotgun originally have a 22" barrel, but i shifted that to a 26" ( Same caliber, not a magnum barrel )
Do i need a stronger recoil spring, since a longer barrel will produce more gas pressure?
Is there any diffrence in Rem 1100 parts ( gas parts, recoil spring etc ) on models that come with a short VS a long barrel?
Second:
I can see, that there are some pretty deep marks on the back of the reciver, from the bolt slamming back. Is this common with the metal to metal contact? Hard to see in the pics, but the two lower corners have pretty deep marks.
Should there be a buffer in the reciver preventing metal to metal contact, or only the small plastic buffer on the back of the bolt?
I really appriciate if anyone can help me out
