brother just bought his first shotgun, i was wondering if you have to get these from a gunsmith, or can any ole o ring do the job as long as it is the same size, & if thats the case what size o ring fits the 1187?

You should be able to get them at any gun store.

Know Bass Pro & Cabelas carries them.

I always carry an extra in my ditty bag. though I have never had one break.

I also found some at work that are the same diameter and have used them.

Size - can't help ya there - sorry.

Get the right one from a gunshop I tryed a standard o-ring in a pinch and it failed after only a 100 or so shots. (I got rough takeing the old one off)
Cheaper in the long run to buy the right one.
The one I have in know is over 3 years old

Last year about a week before deer season here in NJ I was sighting in my 11-87 SPS. Went home, took the gun apart to clean it, and saw the O ring was cracked, I called Remington and they sent me a new one, but Remington told me it was a standard rubber O ring. So to play it safe I went to Home Depot, they didnt have it, so then while on duty I stopped at a plumbing supply store and they had it, I got several of them and good thing I did, cause I did finally get the one from Remington a week after the season, and the one I got from the plumbing store has beed on there for over 1 year, weather it holds up or not I dont know, time will tell.

I got mine at Home depot. Worked like a champ.
