I have been in the continuous process of restoring a Rem. 1100 LT 20 ga and finally found a nice walnut stock and forend with cut checkering. The forend does not have the metal liner with detent to keep the magazine tube cap from turning, but has a captive detent set directly into the wood. The cap seems to be of a diameter just slightly less that what would be needed but it seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions or comments.

They have employed caps with two different diameters of engagement teeth. They also now offer a universal cap that will work with either detent location.

Thanks, I ordered one from Numerich and it came in today . Fits perfect and covers the detent ball. It is a knurled design rather than the older fluted pattern which I like better, but beggars cannot be choosers.
I finally got my project complete and and well pleased. JJK

Excellent. Mine started life as a 1978 LT 20 Magnum. Picked up some straight 11-87 walnut furniture and a 2-3/4" barrel I got choke tubed and found I needed a new cap to fully engage the detent too. Very sweet little guns.

Am I correct in understanding 11-87 stocks and forearms will fit the 1100 LT?

Buttstocks will interchange. Fore ends "might". But, usually you would have to remove some wood from the front inside of the fore end on an 1100 when putting it on an 11-87, and an 11-87 fore end needs a little shim to butt up tight to the barrel gas ring. A 3/32" slice of 1" CPVC pipe was perfect for mine.

I see stocks listed as having cut checkering, and some which is laser cut. What is the difference, I know how cut checkering is done, hand or machine with sharp cutters, laser with a laser although I know nothing about the procedure. What I would like to know is what is the difference in appearance. I would think laser cut could appear darker as from what little I know about lasers is that it is a high energy light source that literally generates point of impact heat to vaporize material.

You can look it up on You Tube. It's just a different way to remove material. Laser is not inherently darker from the process.
