Remington 1100 Barrel Question

[Packman]

Hi Folks,

So my girlfriend recently purchased a really nice Remington 1100 Skeet B in 20 ga, with a fixed skeet choke barrel. I'd like to get her another barrel for christmas, preferably one with interchangeable chokes.

However, here's my question: The Skeet B in 20 gauge is a 20ga barrel mated to a 12 ga reciever. I can verify that the barrel of off my 12ga Remington 870 has the same size barrel lug as the 20ga. Is that a standard size across the 1100 line? In other words, if I buy an off the shelf 20ga 1100 barrel, is it going to fit that receiver?

If such a thing does not exist, I'd like to find her a barrel with a tighter choke to help her out on the trap/sporting clays side of the game.

Thanks for the help!

No. There are standard weight 20s on the 12 gauge sized receiver, and LW, and LT 20s on the 28 gauge sized receiver. Standard size barrels are no longer made, were never made with choke tubes, and are relatively expensive. Good luck. www.corsonsbarrels.com , www.barrelexchange.com, and ebay usually have some.

i bought a x frame 20ga 1100(12ga frame) in very good condition with a I.C. choked barrel and found out that barrels for it are very costly when found. i did the next best thing, i sent the barrel to mike orlen and had it threaded for choke tubes for 75.00. eastbank.

Eastbank,

Thanks for the tip on that. I didn't even think of having the existing barrel threaded. I'll look into that, that seems like the ideal setup. Looks like finding another barrel for what I want is going to be both difficult and expensive.

Thanks!

i think the 1100 x framed 20ga marked skeet B is worth more than a regular 1100x framed 20ga, maybe it would be better to sell it and buy a 1100 20ga with choke tubes. eastbank.

And if you plan on shooting it much, I would go ahead and find a/some extra shell latch(s). The original Remington versions are long gone, and I have not seen any aftermarket hold up as well.
