My new ID A5 will run on with 7/8oz of shot and 20 grains of Unique. My 1400 Winchester will run on much lighter loads. |

They are too big. It is much easier to remove metal from an over sized part than to add it. I had an ejector break on one of my 12ga 101. No parts available then. Gun Smith welded it and gave it b ... |

I assume the question regarding receiver size was rhetorical. If not, they did it for the same reason 16ga Remington 1100 and 870 and the 1400 and 1200 Winchesters were all on the 12ga receiver. The ... |

I cannot speak for the 1200 or 1300 as I've never owned one. However none of the 1400s I owned rattled.
The 1400, 1400MKII and 1200 were the original offerings. The stocks and barrel finish were ... |
