My Dad is looking for a early Win. 101 field grade, 3" chambers & 32" barrels to replace one lost to theft. Say's he is having a hard time finding one & told him I would ask here. PM me if you have one you would like to sell or on any leads.

Thanks

Thanks Guy's, had seen those 2. He want a nice original gun without screw in chokes. He is trying to replace one that was stolen.

I believe you will find the win chokes are original to the gun.

But I do understand his desire to avoid them and get as near an identical gun as possible. One will turn up, but it may be awhile.

The one w/o Winchokes/Invectors should cost well under $1000 around $700 to $800. The ones shown are ridiculously expensive. Same thing in 20ga with 26" barrels made for Sears Roebuck (Ted Williams 400?) can be found for around $600. Twelve gauge Browning Citori w/o Invectors in excellent condition can be found for under $1000, therefore, paying those prices for out of production same thing made by different Japanese company is basically stupid.

Great answer, did you find him a 32" cheap gun?

No, he wants to replace something lost, therefore, he will have to pay dearly for them 32" "Winchester" or Kodenshachester barrels. Personally I would go with B.C. Miroku Charles Daly Trap gun though barrels might have ended at about 30". I like better engraving, wood and that cute sliding ejector/extractor sliding button.

Jagermeister, I fully agree as I have the set of pre 76 BC Miroku O/U's in 12,20,28,410 & really like them but as you said he just wants to replace what he had & I told him I would try to help by asking here to see if someone had one collecting dust in their closet :^)

pay little attention to the foreigner Jaegermeister.....he doesn't even own any double guns; O/U or SxS.

I'm thinking they never made the early pre screw-in choke guns in 32" ?
