Winchester 1400 MKII 20ga Used

Good condition semi auto 20 gauge. Modified choke, 2 3/4", 28" barrel

Model 1400 shotguns are gas operated with a rotating bolt. When fired, gas vents through a port in the bottom of the barrel, out through twin holes in the base of a sturdy steel magazine retainer ring brazed to the barrel. This gas is directed into the top forward end of the magazine tube, the forward half of which serves as a gas piston chamber. The piston is connected through a channel cut into the top of the magazine tube/piston chamber to the split rods of a slide arm. The dual rods extend rearward into the action and are connected with the bolt, driving it rearward to eject the empty cartridge. 

As the empty ejects, a lifter hoists a fresh cartridge and presents it to the chamber. Unless the bolt locks open on an empty magazine, it's thrown forward by a stout mainspring, chambering the new cartridge. The bolt rotates into battery, ready to fire again. 

Shooters who appreciate the Model 1400 maintain that it's one of the softest-shooting semiautos available. Although it's somewhat unknown, the economy-grade Winchester Model 1400 is a soft-shooting semiauto shotgun that shooters weren't afraid to work hard. The forward end of the magazine tube functions as a piston chamber for the gas-operated design. As a result, maximum magazine capacity is two rounds.
