I bought a 16 gauge barrel and bolt for my Remington 1100. Bought both seperately on Ebay for less than $150.00 total. Both the 12 and 16 are standard size frames in Remington so the 16 barrel goes right on my 12. Now I can shoot those cheap promo loads at skeet and get empties to reload for my low pressure double gun loads. It is not a lot of fun shooting those promo loads in a light double anyways. Now I just let the auto absorb the heavy factory load and have fun shooting proper loads in my double later.
