IMPULSE BUY-WINCHESTER MODEL 23

[Researcher]

I've got the pair of baby frame Model 23 Classics in .410-bore and 28-gauge. They are great little shooters if they are the first gun I pick up on a given day. If I've been shooting a gun with a really nice crisp trigger(s) and then pick up one of the Model 23s the trigger pulls are very noticeably spongy. That said, the only 100 straight at Skeet that I've shot with a 28-gauge was done with my Model 23 Classic at the old Potomac River Gun Club down at Stump Neck, Maryland. My .410-bore has been bullet-proof, but the tolerances on the 28-gauge are very close and a single grain of unburned powder in the wrong place and the trigger won't set for the second shot.

I had a 23 Classic in 28 gauge also !

Was a rather nice little quail/dove gun . Bought that gun new in 1986 or 1987 I think . If memory serves I paid $1250 and the dealer I got it from had a nice little Parker Repro in the same configuration for $2250 also NIB .
