Seeking valuation: Winchester 101 Pigeon Grade

[Circle B Bearkat]

Looking for a little valuation help.

I've got a Winchester Pigeon Grade 12 ga. Over & under Trap Model 32" (full imp.mod)shotgun withe the serial number PK1974XX. The weapon's Mote Carlo stocks are in Very good condition. I'd like to know when where it was made and the approximate value. Also if know, are the barrells of this vintage model thick enough to have Brliey screw in chokes installed?

I'd like to start shooting more sporting clays and trying to decide if I should sell this gun and use the $ to buy a proper SC gun, or have this one modified.

Thanks,
Don

Just my opinion - I love my 101 - if it fits you well and you like to shoot it, I'd stick with it. I prefer longer bbls for sporting clays, but again, that's just my opinion. They are a very well made gun and very reliable.

Does it fit you and have you shot this one? I say that because many folks who bought them found the to beat the snot out of them on a regular basis, making them not fun to shoot. It had to do with the stock dimensions. If this is not a problem for you, then get it if you like it.

Check www.gunsinternational.com for current selling prices - this is NOT an auction site, just a regular for sale site with most of the big sporting goods names there, so they will have pricing that is somewhat reasonable to moving the gun
