every once in a while i leave the comfort of the T.S. forum and venture to other places here...
came across this post in the Remington Lovers forum (i highly recommend it) which was of interest to me as i just paid about $5 each for the 11-87 gas ring "just to have one in case"
this was a post authored by "wb"
"Copied this awhile back off this site for reference, wish I could remember who the original poster was?
• o-rings for the 12 ga. 1100/11-87 shotguns = size 33
• #021 is the viton size(same as factory made)
#33 is the size for plain old neoprene rubber plumber's o-rings. I get them at home depot, and they are the same size as Ulysses suggests...15/16" by 1-1/16" by 1/16" thick.
I know the Viton o-rings are rated for higher temps, but I have had total success with the plain rubber ones, with no deterioration whatsoever. I bought 6 of the cheapies thinking they would burn up quickly, but I am on my first one still with 1,000 shells through it and it still looks new."
while i wouldn't swap out a factory ring for SD unless i tested the "plumber's variety" first in another SG you could buy a LOT of home depot sold rings for $5 plus S&H if yours ever dies...
