My father in law gave me a mint 1971 Remington 1100. I just started duck hunting this season and have used a friend beretta automatic thus far. I also have a mossberg 500 20g that i have used in the past, so i am used to a pump as well.
The issue is, the barrel on the 1100 is a21 inch barrel and to purchase a 26" barrel would be right under $300. I'm not sure if i would even want to subject that 1100 to the harsh conditions of duck hunting. My other option is to buy a new pump and not worry about beating up the Remington. Should i spend the 300 on a new barrel or a new gun?
Thanks in advance.
