Will an 1100 Remington cycle with the barrel cut down?

Scattergun Technologies offered such gun called "SWAT Model, Item #90114". The gun had a 14" barrel.
Remington still offers a 1187 with a 14 barrel. RemingtonLE Somehow it must work. But would not want a 1100 or 1187 with a barrel shorter than 18". (Yes, it does look cool.  )

I've built two Remington 1100's that came with 26" and 28" barrels. Both barrels were but down to 19". You will definately need to open the gas ports. Just work up slowly until it operates reliably.
I was going to go and work a deal on another used 1100 until I came across that dang group buy on AR mags! |

I've got an 1100 with the same issue. I know I need to open the gas port but I'm not sure how to go about it. I don't want to grab my Dewalt cordless and cheap Craftsman drill bits and go at it. What do you guys recommend for this? Will a cordless work or do you need to do it on a drill press? Which type of bits should be used?

I'll admit that I don't know much about machine work, but I don't think it can be done on a drill press.
My local smith does it with a drill set on a pretty slow speed, starting with the smallest bit and function testing after every increase in size. There is probably a better way to do it, but I don't know what it is. |

Not sure where the ports are located as I don't have an 1100. But if you can see them out in plain view a drill press with a careful setup should work fine, make sure everything is square and true and such. I would prefer a mill myself, but that's me.
As for bits, cheap ones would probably work for a hole or two. High Speed Steel (HSS) would be better, carbide would be ideal, but you need to have a rigid setup (mill) or they'll most likely break. |

The ports are inside the barrel ring. They are also at an angle.

Any chance you can snap a pick and post it? |

The gas ports are easy to get at with the barrel removed. Like others have said they are in the barrel ring drilled at an angle. I used bits capable of drilling metal and slowly worked my way up with a hand drill until it functioned 100%. I used some oil on the bit and had no issues. I've done 3 this way.
