Question about my Winchester 1300

[KingTobera]

Hey, I now have a 12 gauge 1300 xtr with a full choke 2 3/4" & 3" barrel on it. I know it will be hard to find but I am looking for a rifled barrel for it.
My question is, if I find a rifled barrel for 3" is it going to work well with the gun or do I need a barrel for 2 3/4" & 3".
Probably a dumb question but I'm a newbie. Just trying to stay safe and not waste my money.
Thanks for your time.

It'll be just fine.

you might try rifled slugs in the smooth bore that you have. they can be accurate . lots of deer in my area are taken with smooth barrels as rifles are not allowed. i am assuming you want to hunt. perhaps if we knew your plans we could be more helpful. as for the answer to your question yomomma has the correct answer.

Just remenmber 120, 1200, 1300 all use the same barrel

Barrels from Winchester 2200, 1200, and 1300 will interchange.

A 2 3/4" only barrel on the magnum action can cause issues with the 3" ejector on the 1300. Ask me how I know.
