    Likely the barrel on the 1300, can be swapped easily. Because of this, any of the different 1300 barrels. Can be used on a standard receiver. Short barrel for slugs, and home defense. Long barrel for hunting.

    1200 barrels will also fit on the 1300. You might have just purchased Dr. Frankenstein's shotgun.

    Not so. This is one of the main selling points. Of this type of shotgun. I use to sell Mossberg's that came with 2 barrels, as well as a separate pistol grip. Every thing was swappable, in a couple of minutes.

    Even if Winchester didn't sell the 1300 with a extra barrel. Spare barrels and pistol grips. Are readily available, as aftermarket accessories. Check out, the on-line auctions.

    Back in the day, it wasn't all that big a deal to put screw in choke tubes. The reamers/taps could be found for nearly every OEM. I shortened a Rem 870 and a H&R Topper to 20". I needed thin wall on one of them so I just did them both that way so they could share the 5 tubes.

    Had one briefly back then, worst recoil I ever experienced, bruised my cheek badly. The 1300s had easily changeable barrels and I had a rifled barrel for slugs and a 26" barrel with win chokes and an after market turkey barrel. I believe as stated a variety of barrels were available. The 1300 did not last all that long.

    The model 1300 was marketed as a "speed pump". It cycles fast, using recoil to help start the reloading. They do have a "different" felt recoil than most pump guns.
    I have had many of the 1200/1300 guns, one I favor most now, is a Ted Williams model sold by Sears, when sears was a real store.[:0]

    Winchester had a 22" winchoke barrel in their turkey model. My two NWTH models have these and I believe they are from the early 90's.
    They also made a non NWTH turkey model that had the 22" winchoke barrel.

    I don't know about 1986 but in 1990-91 I bought a new one that came with the 22" barrel, vent rib and Win chokes and was listed on the box that way.
