FAQ

What is the difference between the Remington 1100 and 11-87?
The 11-87 was designed to handle 3-inch magnum loads, which the original 1100 could not do reliably. The 11-87 uses a pressure-compensating gas system that adjusts between 2.75-inch and 3-inch loads automatically. Most 1100 and 11-87 parts are interchangeable, but the gas systems differ.
What magazine extensions fit the Remington 11-87?
The 11-87 uses the same magazine tube thread as the Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87 family. Extensions designed for the Remington platform will typically fit. Always confirm the specific extension is listed for the 11-87 and replace the spring when extending the tube.
Is the Remington 11-87 still a good gun today?
Yes. The 11-87 is a proven semi-automatic with decades of field use. Remington's manufacturing has had inconsistencies over the years, but the design itself is sound. A well-maintained 11-87 from a good production run is a reliable hunting gun. Pre-2010 models are generally regarded as higher quality.
What loads does the Remington 11-87 cycle reliably?
The 11-87's pressure-compensating system handles 2.75-inch and 3-inch loads reliably. Very light target loads may not generate enough gas pressure for reliable cycling. Standard field and hunting loads run without issue.
