Outfitting an 1100 semi auto for limited mobility

[mr. frog]

my brother has a degenerative neuromuscular disorder called c.m.t. in the past 2 years he has became wheelchair bound and his arms and hands have lost a lot of motor skills. We've thought of outfitting the 1100 with tactical gear, but have only found such equipment for the 870 (pistol grips, collapsable adjustable stock, picitiny rails all over it, etc.). are they pretty much universal?

Short answer, no.
The 870 has no action spring in the stock. Which is why a pistol grip stock will work.

Pistol grip only isn't possible but this is

well here's what we got so far...

i also have a rail for the top and reflex sight, as well as a new barrel.
the breech bolt was extended and safety enlarged.
i know yall are diggin the camo duct tape

Not really sure but the monopod may not be allowed in limited. Thr reflex sight will move you to open.

i'm not going for competition regulations... just trying to help my brother shoot a duck.

Awesome thing you're doing to keep a man in the woods.

Limited mobility, not limited class.

Yeah, that's what I get for reading too fast.
If recoil is a problem, JP Rifles makes and installs a recoil eliminator that really does work well.

Don't worry, I thought the same thing until I looked at the pictures and I got really confused. Caught it on the second read.

eliminating recoil would deffinately be a plus. I would imagine porting the barrel would be rather uncomfortable for the rest of us in the duck blind. threading the muzzle and putting some ported choke tube may help some. i have one of those on my benelli, as well as one of the benelli recoil reducers http://www.benelliusa.com/shop/recoil-reducers...which works really well, but he just can't operate the pump :-\
we're gonna see how it works so far this weekend. the season's getting close

our small community duck blind is hopefully gonna work out for him. rails on the path and steep stairway instead of straight up ladder. climbing harness set up too. lot of brushing to do before the season starts. gotta lotta good people helpin out. my old eddystone rifle will be the next project for him. one step at a time tho.

If you need any gunsmith only modifications to the 1100 like porting the barrel or any other mods that you may need help with. I'll do it no charge. I love to see people taking care of people. This is a good thing your doing and if you need help I'll take care of it for you. If this type of disorder were to strike me, I could only hope that my family would love me enough to go thru this much to keep me shooting. Thanks for the post, this has brightened up my day.

i appreciate that big jake. i have an extra barrel for it, so porting one of them may not be a bad idea. i will have to bring him and the gun by and see what suggestions can arise.
