Description:

Manufactured 1964-1968, a number of Winchester Model 1200 slide action shotguns were procured by the U.S. Army in 1967-1968 to serve the "trench gun" role, seeing action as late as the Global War on Terror; while theoretically rendered obsolete by the Mossberg 500, Winchester 1200s are known to have been transferred to National Guard units, which brought them into action when called into federal service. Most were destroyed after their service, leading to their scarcity today, with sparse government records of contract deliveries. An included letter from the ATF National Firearms Act branch notes this shotgun by serial number as being part of the inventory of an unnamed police department; it was one of a number of Model 1200s originally registered as "any other weapon" NFA items, but later restored to a non-NFA configuration. Single bead sight on the bayonet lug, with a six-hole heat shield, cylinder choke/2 3/4" chamber markings, and "U.S." added above the standard address. The "U.S." marking is also present on the underside of the receiver. Fitted with a smooth, extended forearm, pistol grip stock, checkered plastic buttplate and a green canvas sling. Included with the shotgun is two bayonets (one sealed in box, one open) and two 10-count boxes of military contract shotshells (plastic hulls, 00 buck loading). Length of pull is 13 3/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished, with 98% plus parkerized/matte gray painted finish, showing minor spotting and handling marks overall, as well as some wear on the sides of the receiver from contact with the forearm. The stock is good, with a crack in the left side of the forearm, minor chipping in the buttstock, and numerous light scuffs and dings overall. Mechanically excellent.
