Help with winchester 1200

[funkyhunky]

Hello.
I got a winchester 1200 on a trade. It was supposed to be in perfect working condition.....
We did the trade in a Timmies parking lot. When I got home and gave it a looking over. I realized that the magazine spring and plug were missing. I'm honestly very disappointed, can't trust anyone these days.
I called around and it seems that these parts aren't so easy to find. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan

Anyone have any suggestions?

Make sure you leave the seller with a negative feedback.

It may be an honest mistake.......what did the seller say about it ?

a mag spring from any 12 ga will fit and most likey a retainer from any mag tub will fit . Not worth a negative feed back get over it

To be fair, the guy offered my gun back. Gas money and time are limiting factors here.
He said he hadn't shot it much lately and that he had lent it out.
Also, that he used it for trap or skeet but only shot singles because it was pointless to do doubles with a pump....
He also said he had taken it out the morning of the exchange to make sure it worked.
I'm just hoping to get it fixed for under 20 bucks and forget about it.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear.
Maybe the local smith can find the parts in a junk drawer.

These are non-critical parts. Any make will work.

Thanks. The guys at Al Simmons helped me out.

Already resolved, before I read all replies.
There you go.
