I searched for decades for a mint 20 gauge Sportsman skeet with original beavertail, hard butt, and vent rib. I finally found one. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a Parsons market hunter's magazine in 20 gauge to go with my skeet gun.

Remington used to be a great gun company. My first "dream shotgun" was a 1983 Remington Model 1100 with a vent rib, 28" barrel and a modified choke. I shot many ducks, pheasants, grouse and woodcock with that gun and it is still my favorite in my gun safe. With warts and all. At one point I was going to have the gun totally refinished to make it "pretty" again. The smith I took it to do the work took one look at the gun and told me that if it was his he would keep it in its used condition and recall how it got there. I took his storied advise and am glad i did!

Bill you can just get a Model 11 20 with a skeet barrel and pull the plug out so you can shoot 5 times at them if you need it. (Just Kidding)

I don't think you'll ever find an extension for a Sportsman 20, 16, or 12ga. The forearm and Magazine bolt will prevent it.

Are the barrels interchangeable between the regular model 11 and the Sportsman version ?
