Mine goes 5# 12oz. It all depends on the wood.

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 saw the same article but bought the 16ga anyway. Either the guns are generally well regulated or I got lucky. Using 7/8 oz loads, C and IC chokes, it darn near ink balls skeet targets from every s ...

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 ...

I have owned 6 1400 and still own 5 of them to include one in 16 ga.

The first two I bought new as a kid in 1965. The 12ga didn't not come with spacers and as the fore end was and ...
