Well, I'm batting 0 today. I confess my knowledge of Winchester smooth bores is lacking. I did call the guy who bought my dad's Super-X and asked him why he asked me if it was Japanese. He said he was certain the receivers were made in Japan, which I interpreted as the gun being made there. I do recall my 101 coming in the plaid box, which may still be in the attic.

Still pretty sure even the receivers were made in The USA. I will try and contact a Winchester buddy of mine.

I was always under the impression Super X’s were made totally in the USA and took a good bit more machining hence the higher retail price and probably the main reason they weren’t made anylonger than they were .
