Picked this off the web this afternoon for 400$ Not much detail, aftermarket pad no mention of the choke but a vent rib with a mid bead. Gets me all excited…

Sweet. I don't have a lot of regrets on guns I passed on but one I think of once in a while is a 50 20ga Skeet with amazing wood for 500...I should have done the deal on that.

I love my 12 ga. 26” Imp cyl choke. That thing is a killer. I shot a limit of dove with less than 2 boxes of shells and got my first double this past season. Im mot a big bird shooter so these were unusual mile stones for me. I think if I ran across a 20ga at that price I would be a buyer too.

Have had a Model 50 12 ga. since 1963. Two barrels, one FC the other IC. It is a killer, and quite reliable. Excellent condition considering the use, and for sale. -sniff-
I am..........disturbed.

Gets me all excited… As a septuagenarian that has wanted a 20 gauge Winchester Model 50 since I was 14 years old and having gone to numerous area gun shows ever since that time and having never seen one in the wild, I congratulate you on you new acquisition and am hoping you know how fortunate you are to having found one of these! Still hoping to seen one in person on day!

Highly regarded shotgun! Nash Buckingham had one, and my brother has one!

nice well kept field grade gun with a skeet bbl. you got the whole gun for the cost of just the bbl. what kind of rib posts does it have? round or square? recoil springs for that 20ga are unobtainium. make sure it has some life left in it. fyi, if anyone wants some gold inlay 20ga m50's pm me. im selling my 20ga m50 collection down here in usa. ....found the link to the ads here.... got more not listed. pm for details. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/16713856/9
