Win 120, 1200, and 1300

[dak0ta]

What are the differences between the 1300 and 1200 functionally? And howcome the 1300 demands a higher price than the 1200?

They are all the same shotgun with different wood and finish.The 1200 was the first version while the 1300 was the latest.

Winchester 1300 has a 3" chamber like the model 120, the 1200 has only a 2 3/4. Defender 7+1 models also command a higher price.

Why does my 1200 accept 3 inch magnums and has a 7 round tube for 2 3/4?

 

[LGswift]

because it was made that way from the factory. I did some checking and i found a few 1200's with 3 inch chambers. All the one's i've handled were 2 3/4 only. You learn something new every day : )

1200's have a 3'' chamber and don't forget the 2200 same as the rest

 

[dak0ta]

[Grouse Man]

Yep, I have a 2200 3" magnum.

Not all 1200s had 3 inch chambers, some were 2-3/4" only.
