Good morning all. I am new to this forum & am from south Louisiana. I own a 1st generation Winchester 101 field grade 12ga magnum. The only hunting that I do is for duck's. I look forward to exploring this site & learning more about Winchester gun's in particular the 101.

My gun was made in 1968. It had full & full fixed choke's. I had the barrel's reamed out to modified. It handle's steel shot with no problem's. I have been shooting it with steel shot for around 10 year's.

Well Larry, sounds like a great O/U..I've got my citori, marlin 90 and several SxS but lookin for a 24 and a 101 to round it all out.If I ever win the lottery a 21.. it's only a dream currently. When you had it reamed did you think about getting it tapped for chokes? Pics of your 101 would be lovely.
