I do have a Winchester 1300 pump with a short barrel

it, especially with 3" shells, but I would never take it to a skeet
range.


The shotgun I have has, engraved in the barrel, "Winchester 1300, 20
ga. 2k & 3'."

What does that mean? I've never fired it. Is it going to dislocate my
shoulder if I do?

The 1300 is a fairly popular pump action shotgun. Unlikely a 20 gauge is
going to bruise you. I'd guess the "3" refers to 3-inch shells. Look
closer at the engravings.


I didn't have any problem pumping numerous cartridges through my 20
guage. i could see the 12 ga making an impression after a half dozen
fast shots.
