A great looking and functioning Lever action Shotgun. Re-blued at some point in the past The shotgun has a 32 inch barrel stamped "Full". NOT FOR 3 INCH SHELLS.
Very clean and a fun shotgun to pull out at the range or in the field.
You can see how clean this is and also a couple bad spots on the barrel and typical of photobucket it has flipped several of the images.

Here is a vendor for 10 ga. shells. RST.
Components and especially Brass are readily available with You tube posts on how to make them.


$700 shipped
I will take it apart to ship safely.

Im pretty sure I have an unopened box of Winchester 10 ga. # 5 or 6 high brass ammo I picked up when Tucks Hardware store went out of biz in Thomasville GA in late 70's. Lord I could have bought a solid pickup truck full of ammo for 3 dollars a box, some still in wooden cases. I was just married and the money was not there! Looking back I should have gone home and borrowed money from the bank! very best on an UBER cool old gun WinPoor

There is a company specializing in shotgun ammo for the 2 5/8 and 2 7/8 shells. I bought a large supply of Estate Ammo when I first got this. You can also reload by cutting 3 Inch down. I use a Lee loader. RST is advertisig the 10 ga. ammo for around $13 box.
The scroll engraving on the shotgun is the Winchester Trade.

WRA

Frank, questions please..

Do you know what year this one was made?

Is it a re-blue/rifinish?

And do you know if the buttstock was shortened when pad was installed?

thanks,
dave

I have shot one of these quite a few times and in this case, I fully understand why someone added the pad.

The "engraving" is WRA Co. Winchester Repeating Arms Company.


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I am sorry I do not have a lot of info and will need to look it up for year of production. . Current LOP is 13 5/8 to the spacer with a 1 inch pad added.
Yes it is a re-blue.

Mr Frank, YThis ole gal has me coming back for a 6th and 7 th look. Price seems fair, re blue is no deal breaked. My only question being, on the last photo the action looks as if it has a bow or bend in it, is it some sort of illusion or has the action been bent a bit? Im not running your gun down as I am very interested! very best WinPoor
