I picked up a Ted Williams m300 made by Sears for $100. It's in decent shape. Some rust on the outside of the bbl but the bore and receiver are in good shape. Pulled it apart and cleaned and lubed it. Seems like it will shoot. From What I have read it's a rebranded Winchester 1400.

 

It was an impulse buy but I have been wanting a shotty for a while, mainly because Thunder mtn is a 15 minute ride.

 

Do any of you guys have any fist hand experience with them? Any known problem areas or tips or tricks? I'm not expecting much but would like to get a few rounds of skeet Or trap out of it every now and then.

 

Thanks.

Winchester 1300/1400 is a great gun. You should be OK but get yourself some snap caps so you can check function and firing pin. If all goes well then run some light field loads through it. If they work with no problem you should be good to go. 

Good to know. Thank you.

Not sure how this ended up as 2 threads. Mods can you please merge them? And maybe edit the title too. Should read Sears. Not seats. Dam autocorrect!
