Hello friends and neighbors // NIB Winchester 1200 RIOT
This Model was turned down by the Military then redistributed to Police and national Guard due to the aluminum reciever. I think they are great shotguns none the less.
I'm looking for opinions concerning value , not that I want to sell the 1200 at all. I have the 2010 Standard catalog of firearms and the 1974 Gun digest , neither have this exact model listed. Those on sale I've seen have a Police or National Guard issue stamp.
Online info is sketchy, if your google- fu is better than mine please provide a link.
AFAIK
Winchester Model 1200 Riot:
NIB / never assembled so never fired
Manufactured between 1964 and 1981(warranty card dated to 1968-1971)
Breakdown 12 ga. shotgun
18 inch barrel
Rifle sights
Rubber recoil pad
Questions:
What is the top dollar you would pay if you were buying?
What is the bottom dollar you would take if selling?
Does anyone have serial number info? (all I can find are SN for older models)
Does anyone have one?
Pros and Cons of the 1200 RIOT?
Would you prefer a well used cutdown Model 12 Field for the same price? (I had this choice)
Any input is appreciated.
If you have one and know the date of manufacture please post, if I get two such posts I may be able to more closely date the shotgun. The warranty card reads "use 6 cent stamp to mail" dateing card to 1968-1971.
