sights=The Remington 11-87 is asemi-automatic shotgun manufactured byRemington Arms . It is based on theRemington 1100 and was first announced in 1987.The 11-87 is a gas operated semi-automatic (autoloading) shotgun, meaning that some of the high pressure gases from the burning gun powder are diverted through two small holes in the under side of the barrel [http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/05/26/remington-11-87-semi-automatic-shotgun-review/ Remington 11-87 Semi-Automatic Shotgun Review | LearnAboutGuns.com ] ] . The gases force a piston (and the bolt) toward the rear of the shotgun, which in turn ejects the spent shell. A spring then forces the bolt forward, sending a fresh shell into the chamber. This gas operation has the effect of reducing the recoil felt by the shooter, since the total recoil energy is spread out over a longer period of time than would be the case with fixed breech shotguns.
The 11-87 comes in two different gauges. 20ga. 2-3/4", 3", or 12ga. 2 3/4", 3"magnum along with 3-1/2" super magnum [ [http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_11-87/ Remington Model 11-87™ Shotguns ] ] . Some 11-87's have interchangeable screw-in chokes, although barrels are available with fixed chokes. The barrels are not interchangeable between 1100 and 11-87 models. Barrel length are from the police 14" all the way up to 30".
