I've owned two 1100's and have never heard of anyone being able to swap gauges by just swapping barrels. It is true that at one time the same size recievers were used on all the mentioned gauges. I cant see the shell stops or the extractor being compatible with a smaller gauge because of the difference in the rim size of the ammo. Not to mention the possibility of the mag tube being too large.

The barrel will fit, but the gun won't work. More parts are involved, and those old standard weight 20 parts are getting rare and dear.

The standard weight/size barrel will fit onto the frame and uses the 12ga. magazine tube. You would however have to replace the shell stop, the interuptor, and the bolt assy .
