[QUOTE="Naka16, post: 1406100, member: 82031"] The 20 ga remington std weight as stated is probably the softest shooting, but it's old and does have it's downsides. Finding a new condition barrel with a vent rib is near impossible, and not cheap, and you can't always get that barrel threaded for removable choke tubes. A few years back, I purchased the receiver, stock and forend, then the barrel for $700. Had the barrel sent off to one of the more popular gun smiths for threading for choke tubes. He said it wasn't thick enough and sent it back. Now it just sits in my safe for when the kids are big enough to use it. Stock and forend from the 12 ga 1100's will work, as well as the trigger assembly. the bolt is different obviously and last I checked wasn't easily obtainable. Also, the feed latch will be different and wasn't able to locate even a used one to keep as a spare. If I were to do it again, I would have just bought the newer lt20 1100(which I did after wasting that $700) and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
