Remington 1100 Shotgun 2 3/4 to 3 Inch Conversion

If you have an older Remington 1100 shotgun that is chambered in 2 3/4 inch you may be able to get it converted to safely shoot 3 inch ammunition. This video explains how it can be done. Be sure to employ a professional gunsmith before making any attempts to modify or operate a shotgun other than how it was manufactured. These modifications must be made by professional gunsmiths.

Great video, any issues with running steel shot thru the normal barrel compared to the “steel” indicated ones?

[@ReturningtoBasics]

Actually none at all. In fact, I had the company that did my modification thread the end of my fixed full choke barrel to accept screw-in chokes. I purchased an extra full steel choke and use it for both waterfowl and turkey.

My Remington 1100 shotgun says 12GA Magnum for 3in. Shells

[@ReturningtoBasics]

That’s great. You have the magnum barrel. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@25wsmfan56]

I replaced my two and three-quarter inch chamber barrel to a 3 inch chamber barrel

[@ReturningtoBasics]

I would like to find one of those for mine so I can have a spare. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good hunting.

[@scottkittredge9309]

Shouldnt do it. 3 inch has one gas hole in magazine barrel ring. 2 3/4 has 2 you are beating your gun up.

[@ReturningtoBasics]

I've got a 2.75 1100 that started out life as a Competition Trap gun. I bought the 3" steel shot barrel which allows me to shoot 2.75 shells and 3" steel shot magnum loads with no problems. Didn't require any gunsmithing or modifications to the receiver at all. I've had the gun for 40 years, had it rebuild internally a couple of times, it's killed thousands of ducks and geese, shot thousands of rounds of skeet. It's not much cosmetically to look at, but she cycles and shoots anything I feed her. I put a new O ring in her every couple of years, she just keeps going and going.

[@ReturningtoBasics]

Mine is the same way. I really love my old gun. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@zn_gabe1377]

I got a 1100 and I did nothing to it and I can shot 3inch shells no problem

[@ReturningtoBasics]

It would be safer if you have the chamber extended. I hope you don’t have any issues. I also hope you old Remington lasts you many years. I really love mine. Thanks for watching and sharing. Good hunting.

[@tomhism]

I love my 1100

[@ReturningtoBasics]

Me too. It shoots so consistently. Thanks for watching and commenting.
