Found a Remington 1100 magnum at a steal of a price today and was wondering if the internals would interchange with the regular 1100. Any advantage or disadvantage to using the magnum reciever or barrel? Just need a spare for the one I shoot trap with if it lays down on me sometime down the road.

Magnum receivers have some heavier parts which soften the recoil a bit. I believe it is the action bar sleeve and the action spring. All the internal parts interchange. Lots of trapshooters prefer them. The magnum barrel may not cycle light loads as the gas ports are calibrated for 3" loads. It may be possible to open up the gas ports to handle target loads but then you will not be able to shoot 3" anymore without slamming your receiver too hard. There are some old threads that have more about this. Try a search.
