Thanks for the input. No, it doesn't haven't a rib, and yes I do plan on keeping the barrel. I haven't seen many of these old 11 barrels for sale in this length and choke (although I'd still rather have a shorter modified choke). I might just buy a simple old cheap double barrel and cut it short for home defense if I can't find a shorter barrel to interchange for this one.

Do you have any recommendations for shot? I know I need to stear away from steel pellets, but do you have a reccommendation for a good soft substitute shot to substitute the now-banned lead?

I noticed looking at a diagram that I was missing my friction ring. Somebody probably took it off to shoot a lighter load and lost it and a long time ago. I ordered that, some new screws, a new buffer spring, and a new friction pad for behind the bolt. I got it all relatively cheap on e-gunparts.com, which is also one of the fews places I found that carry's model 11 parts and is still set up for modern internet shopping.

Thanks.
