I just bought this beauty of the EE!

I want to change out the "consumable" type items before I shoot it, such as the nylon/rubber buffer, the o ring, spring, and other gas piston parts. Anyone on here sell these or know where a Canadian can purchase?

Numrich will have the parts you need and they ship to Canada. SX1's dont have rubber o-rings like an 1100. They have a metal one and if it's not broken there is no need to change it. Replace the bolt buffer, rebound spring and rebound plunger and you'll be good for thousands of rounds. You could try reaching out to VDT-79 on here too. He may have spare parts. He owns more SX1's and spare parts than anyone I know.

That’s strange. My Super X does have an o ring.

Thanks kindly!

Interesting- all the videos I've watched had a rubber o ring to seal the gas piston?
 
Buckmastr- it's original and unused - so fear the rubber parts would be dried up!

Yes at that age you'll want to replace the bolt buffer. The new ones are neoprene. I had a couple of Wright's SX1 rebuild kits complete with stainless steel mag tubes to update the mag tubes but sold them along with my last SX1, spare barrels and a spare new receiver. I can't recall who on here I sold the trap model too but it had the nicest wood I've ever seen on one and it had a very rare Trap stamped IM choke barrel and a spare brand new never used Trap stamped F choke barrel to go with it and the gun had only 50 shells fired through it! I should have kept it! :rolleyes:
 
I bought one of the first Super X M-1's that came into Ont. 1974 I think. Sorry Spank but it does have 1 rubber O ring. My SX is very well used from the duck marshs to the trap and skeet fields. Never had a single issue or malfunction and I would say it has about 25000K through it. I replaced the bolt buffer several year back as it was starting to look a little rough. To the Op don't get get all hipped up in replacing parts that don't need to be replaced. The SX pictured doesn't look like it has seen much use. These were an exceptionally well made and mechanically simple shotgun with the majority of the parts being machined. Winchester simply could not afford to make these guns and compete with Remington etc. price wise. The SX-1 was so superior in my opinion to the Remington 1100 that it wasn't fair to even compare them in the same league. I have several barrels for mine. One I had thin wall choke tubes installed into. Keep it clean and well cared for and you should never have to worry about it letting you down in your life time. Maybe I have just been lucky but mine has given me excellent reliability and service over the years and it has been used in some very tough conditions.
 
Thanks Mrgoat!

The gun is actually new - never fired! I'm excited.

I like buying new guns as I'm pretty anal about care and maintenance, so I do take great care of my firearms.

I was worried that the rubber items may be dried up as they are so old! Wanted to go through it before firing perhaps?

Thanks for your feedback!
 
I to just bought a skeet version sx1 and need a buffer and possibly a butt stock field or skeet version.
They do use a o ring but work just fine with out it.
Mine is no ware near new in fact there was so much residue on the magtube and inside the forend wood I had to tap the forend wood off with a block of wood and a hammer Lol
I use 1100 o rings they work just fine
I to bought one in 1974 plain bbl with the steel trigger

I had a 1977 model year in skeet version and it would at times refuse to fully eject an empty, bolt would not fully come back and just close with a empty hull chambered. Don Epps who I shot with often was having the same issue with his. We were shooting at times with the Winchester rep who also shot a skeet version and his worked faithfully fine. He confided that some engineer at Winchester decided that since the skeet version was only to fire target loads that the gas port hole could be made smaller. Should have been the opposite to most folks logic, but you know engineers their real smart as they went to school and such. Anyways the rep said he had his gas port drilled out to normal specs at Coburg and thats why his was trouble free. Don drilled his out and I traded mine in to Don Epps on a Win 101.

Common sense at Winchester finally prevailed and the later skeet versions gas port holes were sized properly. So moral of this story is if your skeet version acts up not ejecting hulls and it dates from the 1974 to 1978 ish period you will have to the gas port hole size enlarged.
