Manufacturer: Winchester Type: Shotgun Model: 1300 Defender Caliber: 12 GA Barrel Length: 18" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3480 Serial Number (S/N): L3502294 Reference Number (Ref #): N/A Notes: This shotgun is a Winchester Model 1300 Defender pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. The Model 1300 series was introduced in the late 1970s as the successor to the Model 1200 and is known for its rotary bolt design and inertia-assisted action commonly referred to as the “Speed Pump.” The Defender configuration was intended for defensive and utility use, featuring a short barrel and increased magazine capacity. Production period: Winchester Model 1300 shotguns were manufactured in the United States through the mid-2000s, prior to the discontinuation of domestic production. Winchester did not publish a serial-number-based year reference for the Model 1300, and serial number L3502294 cannot be used to conclusively determine a specific year of manufacture. Manufacture can be stated within the late-production U.S.-made period. The shotgun is fitted with an 18-inch cylinder-bore barrel and finished in matte black. It feeds from a tubular magazine with a capacity of approximately 7+1 rounds using 2¾-inch shells, or 6+1 rounds using 3-inch shells. Sighting equipment consists of a fixed front bead. The stock and forend are black synthetic, with a grooved forend for improved grip. Operation is via a manually operated pump-action system incorporating Winchester’s inertia-assisted bolt design. Typical factory 12-gauge loads using 1⅛-ounce shot charges generally produce muzzle velocities in the range of approximately 1,200 to 1,250 feet per second, depending on ammunition selection. Condition is poor cosmetically. The receiver shows widespread rub marks and edge wear. The synthetic stock and forend exhibit heavy scratching and scuffing consistent with prolonged hard use. Mechanically, the shotgun remains functional: the action cycles smoothly, the bore appears clean and bright, and the trigger functions properly.
