What year was this gun made and could it be a pump not a semi auto?

Experienced athletes share their insights in answering this question:

Hi,

I’m sorry, but there are no published serial number year of manufacture information for the Model 1400. It was first introduced in 1964 and was offered in 12, 16 or 20 gauge with 26″, 28″ or 30″ vent rib barrels. This Model was discontinued in 1981.

The new Model 1400 was introduced in 1989, was chambered for 12 or 20 gauge with either a 22″ or 28″ vent rib barrel.

The Model 1400 Ranger is a utility grade gun in 12 or 20 gauge, a 28″ vent rib barrel, 24″ slug barrel with rifle sights or a two barrel set. It was introduced in 1983.

The Model 1400 Quail Unlimited was introduced in 1993. It has a compact engraved receiver with a 26″ vent rib barrel and checkered walnut stock.

The Model 1400 Ranger Deer Combo is a 12 gauge only with a 22″ smooth barrel and a 28″vent rib with 3 win chokes.

Values for all are : excellent-$350, very good-$300, good-$250, fair-$200, poor-$125

Add 35% for the Plastic stock on the first model and 20% for 2 barrel sets.

Sorry I couldn’t give you the year. The only way to get it is a factory letter from Winchester which will cost about $100.

I hope this information has helped you. If so then would you leave some good feedback for me.

Thanks,

Marty

gauge shell into a 12 gauge chamber. The 20 gauge shell, unfortunately, will not fall completely through the barrel; its rim is caught by the front of a 12 gauge chamber.

#7 steel shot is great for clays and trap shooting, whether mechanical or hand-thrown, and it`s a nice round to use on paper targets. But, as in hunting, the target shooter must be aware of the potential for ricochets due to the increased hardness of the steel pellets.

All Browning shotguns with the Standard Invector, Invector-Plus or DS choke tube systems, However, we do not recommend the use of Invector full or extra full chokes with steel shot. They pattern too tightly, and sometimes result in a “blown” pattern.

History. Most individual manufacturers habitually put serial numbers on the weapons they produce. Such numbers can be used to ascertain the name of the manufacture, place and date of manufacture. At least for some manufacturers, a serial number can unlock myriad details about the weapon.

Today, I have proved that the Winchester SX4 is the fastest semi-automatic rifle in the world.” In fact, Raniero Testa obtained his record by breaking the 13 trays in only 1.6 seconds!

His pride and joy was the revolutionary Winchester repeating rifle, one of the first guns to fire rounds repeatedly, taking away the cumbersome need to stop and reload. The Winchester became an icon of the American frontier – used by cowboys, Native Americans, outlaws, sheriffs and even President Theodore Roosevelt.

The Marlin tends to be slightly muzzle-heavy, and hangs on a target much better for me than the Winchester. Both rifles carry well in the hand, with perhaps a slight edge to the trimmer Winchester.

A standard Winchester carbine is valued at a few hundred dollars at most, but these unique carbines that have a much-shorter than usual 15-inch barrel are worth a couple of thousand at least.

The magazine tube held six 2¾-inch 12 gauge shells, whereas modern shotguns can typically hold only four or five.

The fixed, tubular magazine has a maximum capacity of fourteen rounds (thirteen for . 44 and . 45 caliber rifles).

Loaded through the action`s bottom and fed from a tubular magazine, Model 12s hold six rounds and can be fired quickly. Lacking a trigger disconnector, it can be shot rapid-fire by simply holding down the trigger and working the pump as fast as possible.
