Winchester Collector - Forum: Winchester Shotguns https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-shotguns/ Simple:Press Version 6.11.14 KWD57 on Winchester model 50 buttplate https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-shotguns/winchester-model-50-buttplate/#p182393 Winchester Shotguns https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-shotguns/winchester-model-50-buttplate/#p182393 I bought a winchester model 50 in 12 ga that has a added rubber recoil pad, I would like to buy a original buttplate for this gun as the stock was not shortened. I have seen the repros for sale with the round logo but I am pretty sure that is not correct for this gun serial number 80,267, does anyone know what it should look like and if they have one for sale..

Thanks

Ken

If you go back and read Post 110 and take action appropriately I will fully answer your question with a two page response.

As I will for model 1300s, 1400s and 1500s.

Bought a Winchester Model 1912, 20 ga of course, with an SN 44. It wasn't even listed with the SN in the description.

One of our Down Under members, Keith Nix, is writing a book on the Winchester post-63 pump and automatic shotguns, a field that's gone begging too long.

You assume correctly that it does not have a ventilated rib.  You are somewhat clairvoyant.

27-1/2" Barrell.  not sure the grade.  Beautiful checkered stock. Any easy way to determine the Grade?
Thanks for the Gunbroker.com suggestion.
Will check there for sure.
  

I will assume that it does not have a Ventilated Rib barrel.  The Trap Gun and Skeet Gun grades were marked as such.  The Magnum grade had a 3" chamber, and the Deer Gun and the Riot Gun had shorter barrels.   Accordingly, the 28" fixed choke barrel implies that it is a Standard (Field) grade gun.

Barrel length?  Field grade gun?

Your best bet is to peruse the dozens of listings on GunBroker.com to see what the asking and selling prices are.

I aquired a Model 1200 with the serial # 306146.  Trying to find a valuation for this shotgun.  Very good condition.
  

Rob,

You have a 50-year old used gun... unknown gauge, or configuration.  We are not clairvoyant.
