Added a speedfeed 13" stock and forend, shortened the barrel to 20.5", opened up the gas port 2 sizes, added xs ghost ring sights with banded front sight. The speedfeed stock I will say was a poor fitting piece and didnt come with the hardware to make it fit correctly. I had to sand and shim a few things but its a tight fit now. The front sight is made for a barrel .860-880" and mine measures .840 so I made some shims out of .016 aluminum strips and used the specified side shims for a .872 barrel. The rear sight had to be drilled and tapped which had me nervous but wasn't too bad.

Sweet, I've always wanted to do something similar to a 1100
I hope you were careful and progressive on your gas port mods or you might start breaking stuff when using heavier loads. I have done very similar things to my Moss 935 but I drilled an extra gas port starting at #4 and got to #8 till it cycled target loads reliably and then I short tapped the port and a hole inside the stock so when I want to use the magnums the gun was designed for all I need to do is install the setscrew. You now need the mag extension and an AR or similar and plenty of mags for your pistol to fill out your 3gun gear. Great job there is nothing like doing it yourself not to mention the money you save. There are plenty of people who don't know which end of a screwdriver to use to keep the gunsmiths busy. Why did you open up the gas port anyway?
The port was .075 from the factory and I opened it up to .080. All the info I found listed the 21 inch barrels as having 2 ports so I decided to open the port up slightly to compensate for the drop in pressure. This will primarily be a slug gun, maybe some turkey loads so im not too worried about target loads. Ive never done 3 gun but I did build an 80% lower ar that I put a stag upper on, and have a 1911 I built as well as a m&p9 so maybe I should give it a try.
You are just a mag tube from one pimptastic resident goose,3 gun or HD setup. Once you get past drilling and tapping there is little stopping you. If you have a drill press get a cross slide vise so you can drill your own perfectly alligned sight/scope mount holes as well as light milling with mill cutters. Maybe you could get the picatinny rail and trim it to your rear sight so you could set up a cowitness red dot if you ever wanted to. Definitely start gearing up for the 1911 for 3gun you will be using a setup all of your own making against people with 5 figures of custom stuff and the first time you outshoot a few of those will be one of the most satisfying moments of your life.

Nice!!!!!!!
I did something similar, but, used the "Competition Master" as the template for my 1100 Competition Master Clone.
I got a 1972 1100 'standard' for $100.00 and the parts from Remington, to convert.
Since these pics were taken, I've swapped the pistol-gripped Speedfeed III for a conventional Speedfeed III stock. (I just prefer the conventional stock on the 1100.)
Remington Competition Master barrel - 22" with Remchoke and hi-vis front bead.
Remington Competition Master magazine extension assembly.
Remington Competition Master Carrier Assembly. (This ONE modification should be done to EVERY 1100 and 11-87!!!!! Look at the size of the release tab, below!!)
Speedfeed III stock and forend.
I did not install the Competition Master 'sidesaddle'. It uses Velcro to attach the sidesaddle, and the loops are elastic. (Cheap looking, IMNSHO.)
Sofar, this has been 100% reliable with everything I've fed it.

The "Competition Master" Carrier Assembly is a fantastic modification!!!
You only need to 'bump' the release button, instead of the old press the living crap out of the button!
Part is still available from Remington, according to the 2012 Parts Listing.
Here's the parts listing to convert an 1100 to a "Competition Master Clone":
The prices may be outdated, but, the part numbers are the same.
