The Remington factory +3 extension will be just shy of 21". Here it is with a 20" barrel:

@RogueJSK thanks for the help, bud.
While we're at it, any idea what choke to use for primarily buck and slug? It's a 1989 model and I'm not sure if they changed the threading since then. Currently looking at a Remington probore. |

Optics Planet is notorious for claiming to have things in stock when they aren't. If you order something and they do actually have it, it's usually fine. But be prepared to get stuck in "Backorder Limbo" quite often with them.
I'd try to source it from somewhere (anywhere) else first. |

Ain't trying to wait forever on things I've already paid for. |

You don't need to stick with the Remington Factory extension either. Any of the 3-shot mag extensions will work. I have had tons of shotguns and ran everything from Tac-Star, Scattergun Tech (now Wilson), Nordic, Choate, etc. All have ran fine.
The trick will be finding one that matches the Special Field high gloss blue finish. Remington makes a blued (or use to) mag extension, but they are hard to find. Everything else is matte. |

Bought a choate +3 earlier. Worst case I'll spray it with high gloss poly . Should look decent at least. Couldn't find a factory extension at all, not from a reputable supplier. It's never gonna be a showpiece anyhow. Thanks for setting my mind at ease about it though. Always hate pissing away money. Eta: the choate I bought did come in a blued finish for those who may need one. |

Okay, so got the +3 extension and I'm a still 2.5" short of being flush with the muzzle. Not a huge deal but I was wondering if any had a +4 they could measure for me. I need to be at 11" on the extension to get flush. The +3 is 8.5" I believe the reason is that the 1100 special has a shorter mag tube to begin with. Forearm looks shorter than the average 1100. Should have done my homework better.
Anyone have a +4 they could measure for me? |

It's a 1989 model and I'm not sure if they changed the threading since then. Currently looking at a Remington probore. Rem-Choke tubes and Probore tubes are 2 different things, not interchangeable. Rem-choke tubes have threads down at the bottom of the tube area (inside the barrel), the Probore tube has threads at the top (near the muzzle). AFAIK the "Probore tubes are only used in the Versamax and a few of the 1100 and CTI "Competition" gun barrels |
