[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1337551, member: 57493"] They've been out of production for several years, probably more than a decade. IMHO they are not a good candidate if you want to start modifying and customizing a shotgun. There are a few deer barrels available on places like gunbroker, but they don't sell cheap and it will never be more than a 2+1 shotgun. I doubt you'll find a pistol grip stock for it (and please don't cut down the factory stock or chop the barrel). It is a nice hunting/skeet/trap shotgun though especially if you have a newer one with the removable choke tubes. From past reading, they are very reliable in rugged hunting situations (think duck hunting in very bad/wet conditions). My unsolicited advice is to use it as-is for now, then later sell/trade it for something closer to what you want. If someone needs the manual for a Winchester 1400 shotgun, PM me. I have 2 different versions in .pdf format. [/QUOTE]
