I purchased a used Winchester 1400 and was cleaning it up before shooting and noticed there wasn't a seal or o-ring behind the barrel band that goes around the magazine tub. Is the shot gun suppose to have a seal at that spot? Any help would be appreciated.

  I just acquired a 12 gauge semi-auto Winchester 1400; an older model with the high gloss finish like the old Rem. 1100's. A beautiful piece. It has a 3 shot capacity with 2 3/4" shells and the pre MK II receiver. It came with a 28" mod. VR barrel. My question is this: Will the later model 1400 Winchoke barrels fit this gun? Rather than buy a barrel for every occasion, I'd like to get one that'll accept Winchokes and just buy the chokes.
  
  Thanks for the help.

  there is a slight recess where the bolt release at the end of the forearm is. One has it the other doesn't, I have been looking for a 16ga forearm for a MKII for about 3 years. they are also gauge specific as magazine tube is different sizes. If you are willing to do a little carving you should be able to make the recess yourself. good luck finding one. They are also prone to cracking, check any used ones for hairline cracks, if you just want it for shooting, glue crack up and live with the looks. squirrell, or skeet won't know the difference.
