Just a quick question, Can you fit Win 101 with Invictor plus SK chokes?

They come with 3 Invector-Plus choke tubes F, Mod, and IC as standard.

Main use, Sporting Clay, Trap & Skeet, hence Invictor Plus SK.

This will be my first shootgun.

Many thanks to thoese that reply.

Lemonsorbie, yes, the Invector Plus tubes are available in skeet and many other constrictions. But why buy just a gun, when you can have the whole company?

Over & Under 12 gauge Shotgun

We are offering the former assets of Connecticut Valley Classics (CVC). This project is at a point where full-scale production can be up and running within six months. It is based on the 101 Winchester 12 gauge with three barrel lengths – 28”, 30” and 32”. It is a target gun. There will be verbal technical support available to the purchaser. This has taken approximately ten years to develop. Everything is in place – tooling, suppliers, MIM and Investment casting molds, parts and inventory, proto type, intellectual property i.e. Processes, drawings, suppliers. The project is ready for an initial production run. This is a time proven product made with modern techniques and metallurgy. It already has a recognized name in the market. All manufacturing processes are documented and can be implemented in a short amount of time. Drawings are complete. Tooling is in place for proven production. CNC fixtures are available. A significant amount of inventory is available. The gun has a targeted price of $2,300.00.

I new the original owners and president, Dean Jensen formaly of Winchester before it was sold to the GIAT. I had a bespoken made for me with wood chosen by Fred Collins (who owned the agency that first made those real nice Beretta catalogues) and Dean. The wood came from Fajeen, if I remember right. It was nearly as nice as my new 28 Chapuis. It was also one of the first laser cut woods and very well finished in oil.

CVC was an improoved 101. It was also dynamicaly balanced reciever by the cnc machinery. I knew also the person who sold them the cnc equipment (unfortunately lost his battle to cancer some years ago) and who set it up ( a great Portuguese decent shooter from England). The barrels were overbore and the extended chokes made by the owners of Seminole. It did have the quirky loose feel when openning and closing of the 101. They had a quality control problem with the then innovative emt welding of the barrels and ribs. This was later solved, but too late as sales slumped. The barrels were made by some excellent maker whos name I can't remember. Everyone bailed out and those that refinanced the company stop all the money going to it. What really killed it, was the lack of good marketing. They were innovators in the early 90s that were copied by the likes of CG, Zoli and others.

There are some 20 in Canada. I sold mine to a collector in the US. One of my friends (gun part maker for many M4 clones and Colt itself) in CT was offered the assets several years ago. We discussed a possible purchase and rejected it. The market for that price range is full and the profit margin too thin.

Henry;)

Thanks for your input once againSharptail. I understand that there are SK available, but my question is if I buy the SK invictor plus can i slip them into the 101.

Thanks.
 
I am pretty sure that 101 Win. came with Win-chokes, which is the same as Invector, BUT not the same as Invector Plus, which are designed for Back-bored barrels. They are not interchangeable... Answer would be NO.

It seems I may have confused most that have replyed. I understand that the Invictor plus are different to invector.

What I am asking is if I have a Win 101 with Invictir plus chokes can I fit the SK invictor plus choke?

The OLD Winchester 101 is not the NEW Winchester 101. Different animals that share the same name. The NEW 101's use Browning Invector Plus chokes, and you can simply purchase an Invector Plus choke tube in Skeet Choke and screw it into the barrel. That's what interchangeable chokes do.

Thank you Sharptail, at last I get through to someone. It is the newer 101 I referee too.
 
My 101 has the flush mount style winchokes, not the old external knurled end type and it is identical to the Browning Invector NOT the Invector Plus, so answer to your question I would say is no unless someone knows of later model 101's manufactured with the plus system?:confused:
 
This is straight from the Winchester web site (edited for brevity, my emphasis added):

Winchester Deluxe Field blah blah blah blah marketing hype. The Invector-Plus™ choke system with three tubes provide optimum shot patterns. Blah blah blah more marketing hype.

So, yes, the new ones do use the Invector Plus tubes.
