I recently took a Model 1100 in on trade and not being as versed in shotguns as I am in rifles and pistols, I failed to notice something strange. This gun has beautiful wood and I'd say the finish is 98-99% but the barrel is extremely short......about 24" and has a screw in Improved Choke. The barrel has vent ribs with a red site dot about half way down and a white dot at the barrel end. The barrel is stamped Mod (which I know is modified) and I screwed out the choke and it's make with an capital I which I assume stands for Improved. I didn't realize that Remington made Model 1100 with replaceable chokes. Any thoughts? Maybe someone bored and threaded the barrel for chokes. If so.......they did a great job. This gun even has scroll work on the bolt assembly. Any ideal of the value? Again I'm not very knowledgeable on shotguns.

The previous owner could have had the barrel threaded for chokes. As far as the value goes it kinda dependds on the buyer some shotgunners consider the 1100 a better gun than the 11-87, which is basically a 1100 that shoots 3" shells.

Odd that the factory barrel with screw in choke tubes is stamped MOD. Is this the version with the straight stock, no pistol grip? I have always liked them. They handle very well. The short barrel makes a fine shotgun even handier.
The Special Field does have the straight english style stock and a 21" barrel. I called Remington just about an hour ago and they verified it was manufactured in 1986 with all the factory scroll work on receiver, bolt, forearm and stock..............but as Dee suggested.....original barrel length was 28" & Modified Choke. Whoever cut the barrel & vent rib plus threaded the barrel to accept standard Rem Chokes did an excellent job! Chokes screws in and out like a new factory barrel and I can not even tell the vent rib and front site has been modified. GOing to try and sell this weekend and the Longview Gun Show.
I traded off an 1100 I forget which size chamber, 3" or 2-3/4" last year and with it, several barrels for it, various lengths, and some were threaded and a few choke tubes for it.
Actually, there are Factory Remington replacement barrels with Rem Chokes/Remchoke
It's fairly easy to swap barrels and use any of the replacement barrels., and preserve the original ....personally, I put polymer stocks on to save the wooden ones in good condition.
I had also added an extended magazine tube, and added sidesaddle shell holder, extended safety etc. etc etc. I think the only barrel I didn't have was the rifled ones, but i may have had a rifled one too, can't recall.
Scroll down on the table on this link look for Rem Choke

I suppose there are other non-factory aftermarket replacements too, and it's also possible someone may have cut one and rethreaded...
I used to customize 870s for Officers at a Police Dept, and I liked the 1100, but parted with it during a time of monetary need. But yes, you can get factory threaded "replacement" barrels, tubes etc for the 1100, at least I did many years ago when I got the one I had.
I still like my 870, but may trade/upgrade to the Marine Grade Stainless some day, if I can keep my foregrip, which I don't see sold anywhere anymore.

Bought a Yildiz 12 ga O/U at the last Tyler Gun Show..............love it so far........just need a limb saver to help with recoil.
If the stock has a spot you may want to get you a mercury type reducer and throw in there while the pad is off.

I have a Yildiz MX clays and it has been freaking great so far. If you can find/afford to shot 1oz loads your sholder will lover you later
+1 on the limbsaver. My 12g Yildiz has gone from 2 3/4" #8 shot dove loads to 3" magnum T shot goose loads and the Limbsaver tamed all of them.

OUCH those dont feel good coming out of my Auto
Shot a box of 25 with out feeling it later. That IS the same shoulder that gets a full day of magnum bolt guns a couple times a month. So it could just tough shoulder I suppose...
