To relate my own broken magazine tube issue from some some years back. I bought my son who was shooting scholastic trap a "lefty" Rem 1100 trap gun off Gunbroker that had a lot of miles on it...yet the fantastic high grade stock and forearm made the purchase worth while.

The magazine tube eventually snapped off the shotgun. Now Remington has not made alefty 1100 since the late 70's or early 80's. I called Remington and they had me ship the receiver to Illion, New York with a check for $135.00. After a 4 month wait I received back a brand new Remington 1100 "Left hand" receiver with magazine tube attached of course. The scroll engraving on the receiver was different but I did not care...heck a brand new leftey receiver for $135.00.....worked for me and my son.
