View Full Version : Disconnecting Barrel Selector Switch - Win Model 23

I have a 20 gauge Winchester Model 23 Pigeon Grade that fits me perfectly.

Barrel selector switch is integral with the safety and unfortunately often hangs up in the "middle" when the safety is switched to the off position.

This causes the gun not to fire.

I understand that some of my problem may be operator error, but I would like to inactivate the barrel selector to permanently eliminate this problem.

Anyone know a gunsmith that could do this modification?

You can buy a Win 23 safe/selector repair kit from Midway. My Win 23 did the same and kit resolved the issue.
