Yesterday, I went to 500 Guns in Indy and traded my Benelli Nova combo for an 11-87 Super Mag in great condition. The guys there were great, and I feel very comfortable recommending them to anyone looking for a good deal.
On to my issue: The 11-87 Super Mag is similar to the 1100 in that they use a piston asssembly and o-ring in the gas system. The Super Mag also uses a Barrel Seal Activator in between the o-ring and the piston that allows it to cycle 2-3/4" loads.
Upon disassembly for cleaning and relubing, I noticed that the activator was missing. Apparently the previous owner was a waterfowling type of guy who only shot magnum shells. I need the part in order to blast clays and pheasants. I can order the $8 part from Brownells or Midway, but it's hard for me to swallow the $5 shipping. Is there anywhere in the Indy area where I can find it?
