Winchester 1300

The Winchester 1300 shotgun is a pump action firearm that is very popular with the law enforcement agencies, sports shooters and hunters. It is one the fastest operating slide-action shotguns that you can find. Firing three shots in just .56 seconds it is valued for its speed and dexterity.

This 12 gauge uses 76mm or 3inches chambers for eight highly effective rounds and is accurate for up to 100 yards. The brass bead front site groves along the receiver assist in alignment before for firing. The 22-inch barrel has a high quality cylinder choke. The gun has a basic 'cross bolt trigger lock safety' in the front of the trigger guard.

The lightweight alloy material makes sure that this gun is easy to carry at a weight of 3.06kg, and is fast swinging. The four lug rotary lock is similar to the AR-15. This locks firmly into the chamber of the barrel, trapping the pressure in the height of the firing cycle. It then removes the pressure from the receiver, adding speed and safety in the firing cycle. The bolt unlocks and uses the remaining pressure to travel rearwards. The dual action bar ensures smooth chambering and prevents binding.

There are a range of Winchester 1300 guns, with specialized guns for hunters and the police force. The rotary bolts of the Winchester Deer Guns have a very tight lock-up that secures the shell in the chamber for a powerful and accurate firing.

The Winchester 1300 Defender is very rugged. It has an 18-inch cylinder bore barrel, with non-glare metal surfaces and a lightweight composite stock and forearm. The full stock version available in both 12 inch and 20-inch gauges comes with a fiber optic sight. You can also choose the pistol grip model, or the combination version that has both pistol grip and full stock.
