A few months ago I bought a NIB Win model 50 12 gauge for what I thought was a fair price...this gun hadn't even been put together..have since fired it and found it to be outstanding in balance and performance...I had inquired about model 50s from many people getting their opinions before buying...there was a range of different answers although many didn't know about the gun...the pre-64 finish and machining is quite beautiful to look at...I found and bought another mint barrel of different length and choke to get some versatility...are there any other views about this model out there?

I had a '61 model a few years ago. They are heavy to carry through the fields, but they are very well made shotguns. I sold mine for twice what I paid for it, and still kick myself for letting it go.

..that is true..they are weighty..about the same as a Browning A-5...
