Never had a semi-auto scattergun and am considering a used 11-87. Is there anything to look out for? Any maintenance issues or parts that commonly need to be replaced?

    if care is taken when cleaning the o-rings last longer than you would think. i replace once a year on my 1187 trap gun and thats thousands of shells, 100-200 a week. Please ask moderator to explain himself... AKA fat albert.

    The 11-87, like the 1100 upon which it is based, is popular because of its versatility & durability, so not many things that can go wrong. There are many minor variations among the models, so make sure that you buy one that meets your needs; e.g., comb height, recoil pad, barrel length, choke tubes, etc.

    The choke tube should only be snug; if it doesn't unscrew easily with the choke tube wrench, there could be a problem. If there is any sign that it has been fired without a choke tube installed, that is also problematic.

    By o ring, do you mean the barrel seal?

    Yeah, Remington calls it a barrel seal in the manual. It's more commonly called an o-ring by most people, and is very easy to replace.

    That reminds me... I need to get a new o-ring for my 1100. It's beginning to be a little brittle.
