I N THE C ASE OF A M ISFIRE
Only rarely will modern factory ammunition experience a
misfire. If this ever happens to you when shooting your
Model 1300, please follow these instructions carefully.
CAUTION: IN CASE OF MISFIRE, KEEP THE BARREL
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, CAREFULLY OPEN THE
ACTION WHILE AVOIDING DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE
BREECH BY YOURSELF AND OTHERS. REMOVE THE SHELL
FROM THE CHAMBER. FULLY UNLOAD YOUR SHOTGUN,
REMOVING ALL SHELLS FROM THE MAGAZINE.
Carefully inspect the ejected shell. If the primer is indented,
the shell should be disposed of in a manner that would
prevent accidental injury to you, others, or the environment.
If there is no indentation, your gun has malfunctioned
and should be serviced by a qualified gunsmith, or by a
Winchester Firearms Authorized Repair Center
(ARC) (page 27).

Some Model 1300s are fitted with the interchangeable
WinChoke choke tube system. If your shotgun has the
words “WinChoke” inscribed on the side of the barrel then
you have this system.
The WinChoke system allows you to configure your Model
1300 for the pattern and/or choke constriction your
shooting situation demands. It also offers versatility when
using slugs or sabots. A variety of WinChoke choke tubes
are available for use in your Model 1300, including models
designed for use with sabot-type slugs.
Your Model 1300 is provided with the WinChoke screw-in
choke tube system. This gives you the finest possible
patterns for target and field situations. Plus, it is extremely
easy to switch choke constrictions to match your shooting
conditions. WinChoke tubes are fully compatible with
steel and lead shot. A special choke tube spanner wrench
is provided to remove and tighten these tubes.

SHOTGUN BARRELS NOT SUPPLIED BY U. S. REPEATING
ARMS COMPANY (THE MAKERS OF WINCHESTER BRAND
FIREARMS). ALSO, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CHOKING
DEVICE IN ANY SHOTGUN BARRELS SUPPLIED BY U. S.
