I am trying to remember my days working the gun counter in a trap oriented gun shop. My recollection is that the 1100 only cam with a full fixed barrel. You have to keep in mind that during that time, it was the fad to shoot tight chokes at everything. Browning, Beretta, early Perazzi guns all had infamously tight chokes from the factory. That is when Tom Seitz, Eyester, and all those guys started opening up and "tuning" almost every barrel that was shot.

The Remington 1100 trap was first available with the flat (slight step) rib 30" barrel marked "Mod Trap". Later the gun was available with a 28" or a 30" step rib Modified choke. I know this because I have both of the step rib barrels. They are quite a bit more rare than the 30" Full choke barrels or the "Rem-Choke" back-bored trap barrels.

I have my old 1100 TB with two stepped rib barrels, a 30 Mod and a 30 F

I had a Flat rib, stamped "Mod Trap" 30 inches

Those Modified Trap barrels are a great all around barrel/choke for 16's, dbls, and shorter caps. They were all miking around .020 choke.

My 1977 Remington catalog shows a 30" Mod Trap Choke Barrel, Order Number 9614. 1977 catalog price: $101.95

I own a TB step rib with a 30 inch modified. It will break targets hard from the 27 with a super handicap 7 1/2.

I have a 30" 1100 trap full step rib barrel and a 28" step rib marked Mod.

I have one, my Grandfather purchased the gun new in 1972.

The barrel is stamped MOD TRAP and is choked .018, it is not a step rib. These older Remington trap bbls usually throw great patterns, this one definitely hits 16 yard targets very well.

My 1100 Trap has a fixed full barrel with no rib and 1 bead. I always thought that was weird, no rib on a trap gun.

I would suspect the barrel was swapped. How is it marked?

 

[gunr]

Left side of the barrel near the receiver has a star then , 12 Gauge For 2 3/4 or shorter shells.
Right side has Remington Arms Co, Inc Ilion NY Made in the USA
A couple of marks like a triangle with a sideways B in it, a " J " standing alone and a "G" closest to the receiver..
Single bead an a raised rectangle. That's it.
