  1. Shotgun Gunsmithing & Restoration
    Hey there! I am a new owner of a Winchester SX4 and sadly I was only able to purchase a "fixed" magazine tube one. Is there any way of removing the magazine spring retention cap and all of the magazine parts, for cleaning? So far I was only able to press the tab in of the retainer and rotate...

    Hi all, Got my eye on this Winchester 5000 Waterfowl multichoke O/U. It has 3-inch chambers but no magnum proof, can it shoot magnums being 3 inches? Has anyone had any experience with them? Anything to look out for? Is £300 too much for a gun of that age? Any info is greatly appreciated!

    Hi everyone! I recently acquired an old Winchester Model 370 in 16 Gauge and I'd like to know more about the build quality from the Winchester aficionados. From what limited research I could source, the Model 370 was made in the old Cooey factory in Ontario after the Winchester takeover in...

    I recently purchased a 1954 Winchester Model 50 and I’m really looking forward to getting to know the gun. I’ve only mounted it a few times at home, but I already feel like I’ve owned it for years. Now my question: It’s a 30” full choke barrel (Simmons vent rib, very nice). My games of choice...
  6. Shotgun ID & Value
    Hello, I've had this Model 12 in 12 gauge for a while now and was interested in knowing the value of it because it seems uncommon. It's a skeet model, barrel marked WS-1, serials matching, serial # is 697XXX. I also have another barrel, it's a WS-2 marked barrel, same serial number, has a...

    I'm looking to buy my first shotgun, used only for trap/skeet. I found a used Winchester SX-1 locally for $600, and a used Beretta A390 for $650. I've done a lot of research on these guns and it seems like they're both solid options and better than new shotguns in this same price range. My...
  8. Shotgun Gunsmithing & Restoration
    Hi all. I have a very old Model 12 20Ga that I've been restoring. The trigger assembly has too many issues to repair. Rusted and seized. I'm looking for a replacement trigger assembly. Doesn't need to be mint, just needs to work with all the parts....Also, does anyone know whether the trigger...

    Ah here we are again. Looking to this lovely trailer park we call the internet for “professional” advice! I know I’m in for some interesting debates, but let’s keep things civil. Here’s the story, I got a Winchester 1300 as an inheritance gift and I’m not sure when it was purchased but it’s in...

    I have a smooth barrel winchester 1200 that only has a 2-3/4 stamped on it. If I put a barrel that is good for 3" shells will I work? I dont know much about shotguns but so i figured I would ask. I can purchase a barrel designed for 3" with a choke or leave this in the safe. For what its worth I...
  14. Shotgun Gunsmithing & Restoration
    I recently pulled my old 1400 12 ga. Out of the safe and decided to disassemble, clean and lubricate. During the disassembly, I noticed there was no firing pin spring. It was possibly left out during its last disassembly, which was 15-20 years ago. So I purchased a used spring on EBay. After...

    Hey guys, I was curious as to how often you have seen two barrel sets for model 12 that weren't factory sets. I just picked up a 1954 28 inch full choke barrel assembly for my 16 gauge to compliment the original 1937 26 inch cylinder choke barrel. It's going to the gunsmith to have the new...

    10 in the bag (7 males, 3 females) after about 3 hours and a little over 5 miles walked this morning. They made me work for it, but it sure paid off. Anyone else have luck out there? I'm using my Winchester SXP with some of my own reloaded shells. About 400gn #6 steel shot at 1300ish FPS.

    I own a Model 37A and am repairing it, I got it in great condition I’m replacing the broken plastic forearm spacer with aluminum but something unexpected happened. A small metal part fell out that seems to be broken. I believe it is the Extractor Pin. I need help on how to replace it and to...

    My dad was given one when he finished college. It was stolen about 20 years ago and we have been sick about it. He’s 85 now and it would sure put a smile on his face to see it again. If you have one looking for a good home, I’d sure make you a considerable offer.

    Hello all - new to the forum. I aquired this the other day and need some help with it. What I know...it is an 1924 manufactured commercial riot shotgun. The barrel is 20" - cyl marked, so it is not a cut down. On the stock is the abbreviation C.C.B.A (see pictures) I've googled the...
  20. Shotgun ID & Value
    Hey guys I just picked up my second winchester model 12 and I was wondering how common this configuration was. It's a 1937 production 16 gauge with a 26 inch factory stamped cylinder bore barrel. My other one is a 1918 production 12 gauge with a 30 inch full choke and I know that is a very...
