Whats cheaper

[eilybird]

I have a rem 1100 magnum. I want to replace the 32 mod to a much shorter barrel. I use this gun as a deer gun but do not like the long barrel. Would it be cheaper to buy a new barrel or can the 32 be cut down and a choke system be installed. Thanks

it would be cheaper to buy another barrel

Cheaper to buy a slug barrel. I got mine on EBAY. Should be able to get one anyware from 50 to 300 bucks.

Go for the new barrel keep the 32 for ducks and geese. As said ebay a good thought also try gunbroker.com. Another possibility call "Jim" at Reddings Hardware in Gettysburg PA, great pricing and he'll ship it right to your door.

I would go with the new barrel. I also like the short ones. I shoot a Browning B80 with a 22" barrel and a 870 Wingmaster with a 21" barrel and they both kill just fine. I shoot buckshot out of both with great success, I shoot Winchester 2 3/4" 000 only.

Hastings makes barrels for your gun. I thing that Bass Pro sells them. As far as barrel length goes, I find that my longer ones pattern buckshot much better.

If you are lookin for the cheapest option, look on ebay, I got a 28 in mod choke (not rem choke) for my LT 20 1100 and paid $64.00, I had lost some that went up over a hundred, set a limit and watch ebay the last minute is when to bid, ebay or gunbroker.com are going to be your best and cheapest route. my 2cents

All a longer barrel does is allow the shot more time to beat against each other and become flat sided resulting in a poorer pattern. I have a 21" barrel on my 870 that has had the forcing cone worked on a little and has a custon buckshot choke that will put all 8 000 buckshot pellets in a 24" circle at 70 yards every time.
