Pic I found on the internet
These are calling my name.  I've got an awesome set of wood off a trap 1100. Now I need to find a nice blued receiver and barrel.
Any thoughts?

Looks nice, but I have seen a lot of 1100s with hogged out gas ports at the skeet range.....

they tend to be less than reliable.....

this makes me think a short barrel on one would be finicky, but I dunno that for a fact......

I thought they became reliable when maintenance was lacking?  But, that goes with the internet rumors that they're maintenance intensive, something about o-rings.

DAMN!

The 3rd on down is calling to me.....!  I love the ghost sights with the flat black and the flat finish on the stock set!

Although I think if I were to go with an Auto SBS, I'd go with a Benelli M2 so I wouldn't have to mess with dialing in the gas system or a Factory M4 SBS.

Later,

The o-ring does have to be monitored and replaced when necessary. Viton o-rings last much longer than the original material. It's really not a problem for those who clean & inspect their weapons with any kind of regularity.

I would recommend finding a used $600 Benelli M1 SBS if you can. They're great guns, and can go longer before maintenance than an 1100 or 11-87. I understand though if you want the wood.
