With the nickel plating, the gun now looks just like a Benelli, Beretta, etc. etc. The only thing they forgot was to offer it with a ported barrel - besides overboring, the other most useless way to ruin a good barrel.

Guys, when you talk about adding shims to an 1100 stock, you must remember that you've got an action spring tube hanging off the back of the receiver. This tube fits tight inside a hole in the buttstock, so changes to pitch or cast really can't be made without major alterations to the stock.

Nope, they use action springs too. A bolt buffer in the rear of the receiver wouldn't come close to taking the place of an action spring. The Berettas (and probably the Brownings too) have a plate that goes inside the stock. The plate must be matched up with the appropriate shim that goes between the receiver and the stock. Each plate has the center hole in it drilled a little off center to match up with the shim that is being used. The stocks on the Berettas and Brownings just have the hole for the action spring tube big enough so that the stock can be shifted a little without interfering with the action tube.
