They make plastic and metal snap on catchers that work that just snap on and off. Also a rubber band around the receiver will also work. Not sure I would want all the gas blowing back and gumming up the works by removing the O ring. Also if you did that you would have to manually open the action each time.

Thanks but I cannot find any of the old metal or plastic shell catchers. I probably gave away 6 or 7 over the years (about $6.00 each) Now they sell for about $80.00 on eBay. I have looked at all suggestions on the net. All list as out of stock. As you said I worry about gas blowing back but cleaning is not a problem, damage is a problem.

You could try reversing the rings below the "O" ring. I remember a shoot vendor whose wife shot a modified 1100 and it was a single shot, she opened the action after each shot.

I infrequently shoot trap with a Remington 1100 12 gauge. If I remove the gas o-ring will that work to stop ejection without damaging my 1100? I do not care for the BW Casey wire catcher as I hunt this shotgun. I appreciate any advice from anyone familiar with this solution or other solutions. I thank you in advance for your help.

I have the BC wire catcher on my 1100..the wire comes off in 2 seconds to hunt

If you don't want to take the wire off, just fold it down.

If you don't want to take the wire off, just fold it down.

If you prefer to take the birch wood Casey wire catcher off for hunting, it comes off easy sliding fishing line between the catcher and receiver . Call Birchwood Casey . They sent me a bunch of replacement adhesive cut to the right size .

When I was shooting a 1100 for singles and caps I just removed the ejector.
Easy to remove and install.

Your other option is to have a knock-down bump welded on the barrel extension, which allows shells to eject normally but deflects them down so that they won't annoy or distract the shooter to your right. It wouldn't have any effect on your ability to use the gun for hunting. Takes only a couple of minutes if your gunsmith knows how to do it.

I heard of someone removing the o-ring for single shot operation and ended up cracking a forearm. You could put something in the want to buy section. Maybe someone has the clip on type you are looking for.

Tron will install a knockdown bump for you. Give him a holler.

Before they made "catchers" for the 1100 , A lot of folks had a gun smith frill two tiny holes in the upper lip of the receiver and bend a small piece of stiff wire to fit between them . Worked great and easily removed for hunting or doubles.
