So what are these going for good to better than good but nib?

I'm looking for a field gun 28.inch mod barrel. Just thought I'd put that in there

Ribbed

When you get one, be sure to put in a new bolt buffer, as all of the originals have gone brittle and will shatter.

I would suggest a skeet grade, as the stock dimensions are a bit straighter (less drop at heel), and they are a touch longer. Great guns.

field guns...450-550.
skeet/trap....900+

lots over on gunsinternational.

Try to find a Super-X above serial number 30,000, they have the second generation trigger. Also highly recommend you replace the blued magazine tube to stainless as the short stroke gas system of Super-X's almost always left moisture on the magazine tube if not wiped away would start eating its way through the blued tube.

The barrel extension going into the receiver needs some grease to facilitate easy removal. So unlike the Rem 1100 or Beretta 390 series auto's the Super-X barrels extentson are tight...tight....tight.

Best auto shotgun ever built in America and so sad the Super-X was a commercial flop. The highest serial number I have seen is 92,000 as compared to 7 million for the Rem 1100. Winchester took a $2 million "R&D charge off on the Super-X model-1 yet could have the same shotgun made in Japan's "Kodensha" factory for $250,000. As told to me by a Winchester Rep when I started shooting Super-X's.

I think the Super-X is one of the best skeet guns out there. I have been shooting one for the last 30 years. Also like the trap model, but shoot the model 12 trap a little better.

When I was shooting skeet on weekly basis a shooter on our squad shoot a Super-X skeet gun he claimed had over 250,000 rounds thru it. He said he replaced the bolt buffer
twice a year and the gas piston sleeve once ....some shotgun...HUH!

i have 895,000 documented rounds in my sxm1 skeet. 40,000 serial number range. i put in a stage 2 trigger. many just take out the allen screw on a stage 1 and it does just fine.
at 875,000 the bolt locking lug ears failed. dropped in a whole new bolt assy (because the lug by itself isnt available) and went back shooting.
at 400,000 and 880,000 the buffers fell apart.
at 885,000 the bolt recoil op rod plunger that sits on top of the recoil spring....wore out. popped in a new one. back i went shooting.
the rib keeper pin broke at 886,000. it caused the rib to ride up on the receiver when the gun recoiled. replaced pin. no issues since.
im still using the org mag tube. at 850,000, as it was mentioned, the gas will start corroding the tube. all i did was remove and flip over the tube since the threads for the receiver and mag tube cap are the same....and now it has a new surface. itll outlast me for sure.
here it is in action in 1995.

Sweet Jesus......that shotgun doesn't owe you anything.....Most rounds I ever heard of. Curious if you tried 7/8 or 3/4 oz reloads in your skeet gun and they eject OK?

If you are serious, send me a PM. There is another trap also, along with a Bob Bumgart trigger in the safe....along with a parts receiver with magazine tube....

And yes I have shot 7/8's and it worked, along with Winchester Feathers-980fps or so-and it worked. Slowly, but it worked....

back in the 80's i shot all american hulls out of it with 7/8oz reloads. 452aa powder. dirty, but worked fine. pretty sure it was an RXP wad.
gun always prefered 1oz aa old school cf hulls with waa12pinks(F1) and 700x.
when i started shooting full house loads in competition....well, things began to weaken.
its all fixed up now...and i havent shot it in a while. maybe next week ill take it around the block. worn out looking, but its a tool, not a collectible.

The bottom Ducks Unlimited model has around 30,000. Mostly Winchester AA and Remington STS. Has hiccuped a few times, but not many....Like yours, it sits quiet these days....

A nib trap sold on gunbroker yesterday for $1225.00
