    Default Winchester 1300- opperating instructions please

    I have a exelent condition, stock Win 1300 defender.

    After watching the Magpul guys I tried to aply a few techniques I saw.

    1. the slide back and surf the cartridge out of the chamber to transition to another load, My 1300 will not let that cartridge come out. I thought of messing with the retainer spring that runs along the length of the slide housing, but decided not to touch it.


    2. slide just back a little, let it go, and then push the cartridge due to be loaded back up the ammo tube, re seat it as such. This on the 870 will allow you to then pull the slide all the way back without a cartridge releasing from the tube and you dump a different load as required. My 1300 refuses.


    3. The slide release on the 1300 is frustrating, I have to change my rear hand grip, revolve the weapon and press the release with my thumb, begin to cycle and re set my rear hand grip whilst remounting. I would love to be able to do this with the weapon at my shoulder.

    Perhaps my technique is flawed, please give me some pointers here, but right about now I want the 870.

    IMHO the best way to do a cartridge transition is the way Rob Haught teaches not the Magpul way. Load it into the tube then pump it from the tube. As for the slide release it's just a matter of getting used to it. Though if my defender is slung it's loaded safety on already.

    Hi T, I have high regard for your opinion and appreciate the pointer. I will look into the method you mention. With the weapon cocked and locked as such then the saftey on/ off is acessable with out changing the fire control hands location, eureka moment!!

    Thanks so much
    Ryan
