Good looking gun made by Winchester. The 1300, I believe.

Nice looking winchester.
What's the length of pull on it? Looks like it has either a youth stock or it was shortened a bit with a pad added. |

Very servicable and it is a Winchester. Could be wrong but I believe it's a 1200. do a cross check on your model number. Very action ..
Be safe !! |

Yep, it's a 1200 according to all the schematics I've downloaded.
Removed the barrel this morning and cleaned the shot tube. Looks to be unfired. No marks whatsoever on the bolt face. It's 18.5". How convenient. And I'll check the pull length and post it later. I might have given all the money for it ($250), but it's exactly what I was looking for as an inexpensive home defense shotgun. Ya think I did ok? |

I think you did alright for $250. It's a nice looking shotgun. Is it a 12 or 20 ga?

I actually have it's fraternal twin Winchester 1200 in 16 ga 26" improved cylinder. Haven't shot much in years. Long time ago put many thousands of rds thru it quail and grouse hunting on Saturdays and skeet shooting on Sundays.

12ga, 4 shot tube, will shoot 3" mags
5 shots is enough for me. I won't add a tube extension. |
