Is the barrel of an 11-48 the same as an 1100 in a 20ga.?

The 11-48 is recoil operated whereas the 1100 is gas operated. The barrels are not interchangeable.

Nope, not the same at all, as Klembo said.
The 1100 is a gas operated recoil system, and the 11-48 is long recoil action system.
The 11-48 barrel is designed to lock to the bolt and the entire bolt and barrel recoil together, identical to the Browning Auto 5 design.
An 11-48 will fit a Model 48, guaranteed (just checked this at the LGS a few days ago). They may fit an A-5, or vice versa, but there may be some differences between the two.
11-87 barrels will not interchange with the 1100, either, despite being based on the 1100 and using a similar gas system.

The 1100 is not recoil anything. It is gas operated, period.
11-48 barrels will not interchange with anything else. The Sportsman 48 and Mohawk 48 were just model variations.
Model 1100 and Model 11-87 barrels will interchange, and function perfectly, however there will most likely be some fore arm fit issues after a swap. It is pretty easy to adapt an 1100 barrel to an 11-87. A bit more complicated the other way around.

Thanks for the info. The search for another barrel and stock continues!

Bad part about an 11-48 barrel is that it is like the model 12... It's hard to find one that hasnt had a Cutts compensator or poly choke put on it nowdays.

Or one that doesn't have a blown up choke (steel shot?) That got cut off and the barrel threaded and beaded to look like new...yep that one's mine.

I've seen two just recently that were fixed Mod chokes. Didn't measure to see if they were blown out, though.
One was currently installed on a Sportsman 48 sitting on the used rack, the other was in the used barrel rack at the LGS. I'm still thinking about getting that spare barrel for mine.

It's interesting that the barrels for these guns cost near as much as a whole gun. My Sportsman has a 30" full choke, When I bought my shotgun, I paid $239 out the door with tax and background check. I found a 28" mod barrel at a gun show yesterday for $230.
There are a few on eBay for $150-200. For that much I'll got buy the Mohawk that was in the shop.
I'm used to it from $400 Browning barrels, but I figured Remingtons would be more reasonable

is that new in the box cost? If so, I'm not completely surprised. If used... wow. Maybe I should go buy the $80 one at the LGS ASAP.

Those prices are used, sitting on the table at gun shows. I might pay that for a NOS in the box barrel, but that's a maybe.

Corson Barrels is asking $210 for a 90% twenty-eight inch barrel with a Modified choke. A 98% barrel of the same length with the same Modified choke with a vent rib goes for $350.

So, $80 for a used barrel is a good price.

For those prices there should be a shotgun still attached...

I know, right? I see the occasional 48 at the LGS for $250. That's what I got mine for. I actually debated spending the $250 for the full shotgun with mod choke barrel, or just the $80 they want for the barrel alone.

I would buy the whole shotgun. If nothing else, it would be a source of spare parts. I plan on doing the same with the next Remington Model 11 I find that is fairly priced for its condition and has an forearm that is not cracked.
