What's Included
- Sears Roebuck & Co Model 300 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Built to the Winchester Model 1400 contract pattern, this Sears Model 300 carries the Sears catalog number 273.521160, which identifies Winchester as the manufacturer. It is marked Made in U.S.A. and shows oval "WP"-style proofmarks on the barrel and receiver ring.
The 28 inch plain (no rib) steel barrel pairs a 2 3/4 inch chamber with a fixed Modified choke. A single brass bead front sight provides a simple, reliable sight picture appropriate for field use.
The receiver is an alloy unit with a blued/anodized finish, matched to a blued barrel. Furniture consists of a smooth hardwood forearm and buttstock with a straight comb and a black hard-plastic buttplate for a classic, durable setup.
Operation is gas-driven with the system’s tube located under the barrel. It ejects to the right, uses a tubular magazine with a knurled cap, and lists a 2+1 capacity. The bolt release is positioned ahead of the trigger guard for direct access during loading and handling.
