Ok I'm finally going to order a barrel for my remington 1100 magnum.

A 2 3/4 barrel so I can cycle the lighter loads. Skeet and pheasant and what not.

My question is does anyone know the difference between these two barrels. I am looking for a barrel I can screw chokes in and change em out when needed.

Thanks

Not familiar, but at almost $300 for just a barrel (after tax and shipping) you can for that money buy another shotgun for shooting clays.

Both barrels have screw in choke systems. It's just a matter of which chokes they come with. You're better off with this one which comes with a skeet choke http://www.midwayusa.com/product/872210/remington-barrel-remington-1100-sporting-12-gauge-2-3-4-28-rem-choke-with-skeet-choke-tube-vent-rib-blue?cm_vc=ProductFinding . It looks like it has the extended choke tube, which makes for better shot patterns, and easier to change chokes. Though you'll still need extra chokes like improved cylinder and modified to hunt with.

Years ago there was a process related to the gas ports on the lug . I would talk to a gunsmith about modifying your current barrel to handle the lighter loads . Bob Romans would know about it I think . I don't know if he is still at Suffolk Trap and Skeet .

I could be wrong but I doubt changing the barrel will have any effect on cycling lighter loads. You have a magnum receiver, that is what does the cycling. Go over to Shotgunworld.com & post your question there. They are in the know about this.
