The Winchester 101 was 1st built in 1963 and production continued on for over 20 years. I "think" this one was made around 1972/73 or so as Winchester eventually introduced multichoke models during the late1970s. Shot gun is in outstanding condition and handles very well. Feels very much like my Citori, but a little lighter overall. Open to trades - really looking for a CZ Scorpion, factory built AR's (No PSA or Anderson) or other interesting firearms. 12 ga or 20 ga Sporting shotguns with blued steel and wood furniture are my favorites. Can add or accept cash to even out the right trade.
