W ho made it?
« on: January 03, 2008, 08:09:19 AM »
I have a Model 300 Ted Williams 12 gauge the was made for Sears and Roebuck that has a poly choke on the barrel. I would like to get another barrel for it but I do not know who the original manufacturer was. Can any one help with this. I plan on keeping the poly choke for use during sporting clays but I would also like to use this shotgun as a slug gun for deer hunting in Illinois. Thanks for the help.

Yeah most if not all  of the Ted Williams guns for Sears were made by Winchester.

According to the Blue book of gun values it's a Win 1400 pump shotgun.

What I want to know is who made My Ted Williams 400 over and under 20 ga.  It looks a lot like my friends 101 but since his is in 12 there are subtle differences.  The 400 is not in the blue book.

mcwoodduck:

My understanding is that the 400 is a 101, but with some parts that do not interchange. In the case of the 300 it was a Winchester 1400 but the trigger guard and buttstocks were not interchangeable.

The Sears Model 400 is in fact a Win 101 with cosmetic changes only.  All parts interchange, except as with all doubles, some replacement parts may need fitting, especially barrels to receiver.  This was told to me in a letter from Olin/Winchester after I inquired about this.  I love my 20 guage Sears 400 as well as my Win. 101's
