Just how strong is a Model 1200 Winchester? I have a 3" mag , 30" 12GA. I'm currently using it for Duck and Goose hunting but as I'm learning more about older shotguns, I'm curious. Is my 1200 safe with magnum steel loads? It's custom fit with extended steel chokes but I've recently learned...

Thanks to all who responded. You guys are all right by me. Bill :)

It has a 3" chamber. If I only shot 2 3/4" steel loads, would that be safe? Is it safe to use modern plastic lead loads in it? I was told the gun was originally designed for paper shells and if I shoot ANY plastic shells, I need to modify the Forcing Cone. I'd hate to have this...

I have a very nice Model 12 Heavy-Mag Duck gun in 12 gauge - 30" full - 3" Mag. vented rib. The choke size is .685 at the muzzle. (Extra full?) I have been told NOT to shoot modern Steel loads in it. I am wondering if just REAMING the choke out to .710 or .715 would be enough for this...

Baby Colt Look closely at the "Baby Colt", you'll notice that 1.8" from the end of the barrel is no where near the area contacting the bushing when the pistol is in full battery. If those dings were inside the bushing when locked up, I'd be concerned. The end of the barrel "Flairs" slightly so...

TwoWheel Thanks

Thanks Twowheel Can you give me info on that KKR barrel? Where can I find them? I HIGHLY recommend having the trigger looked at. I do not recommend a 3 pound disconnecter for carry, that's why mine is set at 5 1/4. Some CCW's require at least 5 pounds for concealed carry. Thanks tons...

TechBrute------- I think the OEM triggers on Glocks SUCK! That's my only beef with the pistol. The very long travel and odd trigger design of the OEM Glock is very hard to get used to and doesn't work well in stress situations (IMHO) A good gunsmith can take out the 5 miles of creep and...

I know that the OEM Glock barrels are not to be used with cast bullets. I'm thinking of getting a Bar-Sto barrel for my 23. I thinking about weither I should get the fitment type and have Irv fit it so I could get the most accuracy possible or should I just get the drop in type? Or...

My thoughts here Funny you would ask this. This is one of my main concerns as I Turkey Hunt here in Southern California. The forests here are TEAMING with big cats. California is where the leftists have sucessfully duped the populace into banning ALL take of Cougars. The results have...

For everyones info Like Guns and Labs, this is my first year trying this type of hunting and I'm hooked! I've learned that Turkey hunting is much more like Deer hunting than bird hunting. It's a patients game. Waiting, not moving, stealth and silence are my ally. I went out yesterday...

LOL Come to think of it...yes they are... LOL!! I should have said "The featherless type!" Thanks...you made me laugh..:rolleyes:

Hey Guns and Labs We only have a few days left to get ours!! Sounds like you know EXACTLY where to go. Unfortunately the best Gobbler hunting in So. Cal. is on private land. I have a few options for public access but they aren't nearly as good as private. Best of luck to you!! I hope to...

My 1200 Yes I hunt with a 30" bbl and I use it for nearly everything I hunt. I use the long barrel with an extended choke in Modified. I can SMOKE anything out to 60 yards with the Hevi-shot #2's. Inside 15 yards I'll head shoot. I'm fast enough to get off a second one if needed. If you hit...

One more thing Those NTF sights I mentioned are MAGNETIC. They'll make my shotgun a "Multi-Purpose" tool.

I use Camo Tape.. Just clean the gun well before applying it. It works well in the duck blind or in the woods. I do not tape the vented rib. I concure that it makes a BIG difference in the feel of the shotgun. Next Turkey season I plan on getting the front and adjustable rear...

You'll love this I live in Southern California and I hunt quite often in the desert near The Salton Sea. We have "Things" here in the desert that look almost exactly like that Iraqi Spider! The first time I say one my skin crawled. I have NO IDEA what they are and I haven't been able...

I am GREEN With Jealousy!! I only can make one more time out this spring season in hopes of getting mine! Good Job!!
