I think it might be a Winchester 1400.  I have one and like it very much.  Seems people either like them or hate them.  I have put quite a few rounds thru it shooting skeet without problems.  I have heard that it may have ejection problems with very lite loads.  I reload, and mine are moderate loads 1oz. at about 1100 fps.  I believe Winchester stopped making this model in the late "80's".  I like the simplicity of the gas system, easy to maintain.  Don't let people tell you it is not a strong gun because of the aluminum reciever.  The rotary bolt locking system is very strong.  Enjoy it.   Walt
