Here is the story; I don't own and never owned a shotgun. Never had a need and only shoot clays every now and then. Although I do enjoy shooting clays just hated borrowing a gun.
Anyway last week a friend of mine asked if I owned a shotgun knowing I did not. I said no and he hands me a like new Win model 1400, vented rib barrel and plain stock.
Now my buddy has lots of shotguns and none of them low end either.
He tells me go shoot it and if I like it we will work some sort of deal out and it will be more than reasonable.
Every deal I have ever done with him has been more than fair.
Well I have read all sorts of reviews of this shotgun and they are pretty mixed.
What I have seen of GB and other action sites this is at best a $200.00 gun.
Any of you ever own one of these and are there any tale - tale signs of failure I should look for on diss-assembly?
How reliable were they if you did own one?
