1100s have O rings that need replacing, some fairly often, some not. The springs should be replaced every 10K rounds, according to Bruce Buck.

Autoloader fans have moved on to newer models like the various B guns, but there's no flies on the 1100. Like the 870, the 1100 seems to fit an awful lot of people without modification, and there's tons of aftermarket goodies for it.

I do like the Beretta and Benellis, but were I campaigning an autoloader for clays(and I may at some point), it would more likely be an 1100 with a fitted stock, perhaps a Baker barrel, and a spare parts kit.

That would include a few O rings. a spare link, a bolt and an extra handle.
