I "re-acquired" an 1100 trap that I had sold about 18 years ago to a friend with the caveat, "I'll sell this to you for $500, but if you ever decide to get rid of it, I have first right of refusal."

I bought it back. It needs some work...
Early 1970's vintage. Says TRAP on the receiver and everything!
Nice wood.
Questions for the group are in BOLD
Hard to find parts lately. Nobody seems to have stuff.
Any recommendations for where to find parts?
Any suggestions for where to find a step-rib barrel for it?
It was totally missing the piston assembly. I wonder how it even worked??? Maybe that's why he's selling it back to me?
The tuning fork was broken (link) but fortunately I have a couple of spares.
Looks like all of the bolt parts and springs are in good shape, except the bolt buffer needs to be replaced.
I have a 3 spare extractors, 3 spare extractor plungers, 3 spare extractor springs, one spare firing pin, and one spare firing pin spring.
It was returned to me with a 30" vent rib choke tube barrel off an 11-87. It measures a conventional 0.728" bore. Not sure how that happened. I think when I had this gun a while back, it had a fixed full choke step-rib trap barrel. I can't remember if I changed the barrel, and if so, what I did with it.
I have a 30-inch fixed full choke (standard) vent rib barrel I'm not using that I think I will put on it. This barrel is unique in that it measures 0.735" bore and 0.695" choke, so it's extra full.
One of the arms of the action bar is cracked, see photo. Anybody know if these can be welded, or should I just go buy one on eBay? They're kind of expensive and all used over there.
A few years back, someone was selling a spring kit for the trigger grop for 1100's. The trigger on this is pretty spongy, and I think I am going to have it rebuilt to get it a little crisper.
Anybody know if the outfit that sells the spring kit is still in business?
The "front of the steel flange" of the forearm is missing, see below, the one on the right. I have another forearm that is in better shape (left), but the wood isn't as pretty. Not sure what to do. I have one of those "wavy-washers" that they use with the plastic forearms, and maybe that would work for the one on the right. Not sure if it is possible to replace that metal insert, or where you would even get that part!

I was able to find piston rings and an action spring on Numrich.
I was able to find a bolt buffer on eBay.
eBay has action bar assemblies but they are over $80. I might just get one...
A few parts, swap out the barrel, clean it up, and it'll be good as new.
Then I need to decide whether to leave it as-is or send the stock to @Tron for an adjustable comb and butt-plate.
Pondering....
Interesting note, this has the old style forearm support (not one of the newer sheet metal ones), see in the photo below.

Any suggestions appreciated.
