Rem. auto 1100 & 1187

gotstolefrom
Rather than ask the question from a 'sales person' I'll ask here and get a real answer.

Regarding Remington shotguns, what is the difference between an 1100 and an 1187. I've shot my 870 and 1100 for about 30 years, but have no clue what the 1187 brings to the table?


If we do not hang together,
We will most certainly hang separately.

    different finishes. redesigned forearm that has a visible brass pin stuck in it to reinforce it. i cant confirm this but i believe its also 2 3/4" AND 3" shells on the bbls. 1100 was 2 3/4" only or a seperate magnum gun all together. 1100 is still a better gun.

    From their site.

    In 1987, the new gas compensated 1187 was introduced. The 1100 and the 1187 are similar in design. Barrels are not interchangeable between these models.

    The gas cylinders are welded in slightly different locations. This is partly because the 11-87 has a longer magazine tube. The 11-87 also has 2 gas orifice holes. Only the 2-3/4 inch chambered version of the 1100 will have two. The magnum 1100 barrel has only one.

    The 1100 can shoot only 2 3/4" or 3" shells depending on the barrel installed, and with the 1187 models with magnum barrels can shoot both 2 3/4" and 3" shells. To accomplish this, two additional holes are drilled in the top/front of the gas cylinder, and covered with a tempered steel spring. There is a relief cut made into the gas cylinder to accommodate the spring. The Model 1100 gas cylinder will not have the relief cut or the spring.

    The Model 11-87 also has a slightly longer barrel extension. This is the part that connects directly into the receiver.

    The gene pool needs chlorine.
