Item Name: FS Winchester Model 1200 12 GA 2 3/4 Shotgun (late 60s to early 70s)
Location: 970 Marietta Highway, Roswell, GA, 30075
Zip Code: 30075
Item is for: Sale Only
Sale Price: 375
Caliber: 12 gauge
Willing to Ship: No
Bill of Sale Required?: No
Item Description: The fine print first: I'm not interested in trades at this time. Cash only - physical cash, not Paypal, Venmo or other service. To save you an email, if this ad is up, the shotgun is still available. All transactions will take place near downtown Roswell in the driveway at my house, next to my neighbor's police car. Note that if the shotgun doesn't sell, I will drop the price like it's hot every few weeks; so instead of sending a "What's your lowest price?" email, just wait until the price meets your expectations and THEN email me and come get it. Patience is everything. I'm more interested in slowly freeing up closet space as opposed to needing to sell quickly.
Covid precautions: I'll leave the garage door open, and leave plenty of space between us; I've had all of my vaccinations, so I have high hopes of surviving any transaction. I'll wear a mask if it makes you feel more comfortable. Otherwise, I'll pretend like it's 1999.
This is a Winchester Model 1200 shotgun, manufactured in New Haven, CT. Winchester was sloppy with the serials during the late 60s, but here's what we know:
1) Winchester added the “L” prefix to comply with the Gun Control Act (GCA) enacted in the latter part of the year 1968.
2) The production year for 1972 ended with serial L739617.
3) The serial of this gun is L5773XX.
So, those facts tell us it was manufactured between 1968 and 1971. This was my Dad's backup deer gun (see my other ad for the Browning A5), so it hasn't seen a lot of use from the time he originally bought it to the time he stopped shooting in the late 80s. It spent the remaining time after that in the closet until now. Dad cleaned his guns like clockwork, so this is still in good condition. I have not cleaned the gun myself, so once you get this cleaned up I think you'll be in for a treat visually. It looks pretty good now...look at that shine (I haven't touched it).
FAQ
1. Will you hold the gun for a certain date for me to pickup?
Unfortunately, I've dealt with many no-shows over the years, so I stick with a "first-come-with-cash, first-served policy." I won't hold a gun for multiple days. However, you can be assured that when we schedule time for you to come over, I will not sell the gun out from under you.
2. Can I see more photos?
