The 1960's 101 and Nikko were the same shotgun, the only difference was when you turned them over one said Nikko and the other said Winchester even the engaving was exactly the same. In 1966 I bought Three 101's and a Nikko in Taiwan, the Nikko was my Int Trap gun 30" lightweight barrels choked F&F, one of the 101's was my Int Skeet gun 26" SK & SK. They looked and felt the same. At around 150K I put new firing pins and new wood in the NIKKO , they were 101 parts. Still have the NIKKO since rechoked and use it for shooting at Spaniel Hunt Tests. The 101 Skeet gun I keep in WI for grouse hunting so I don't have to fly with a gun.
