My dad is getting older and gave me a couple of his guns. One was a Ted Williams 20ga
model 300. I don't think he shot it much, looks brand new. Tried to find some info on these
guns, but could not find much on google. I think they were sold thru Sears and made by
Winchester? It has the adj choke on the end of the barrel, does that make a big difference in
how it shoots. I have'nt got a chance to try it out yet.

This is a Winchester 1400 auto. The choke should not influence "how" it shoots except that it should allow a bit more versatility at the expense of a bit more weight at the end of the barrel (for most the weight is un noticeable).

The 1400 was introduced in 1964. You can learn more by doing a search on the 1400 Winchester.

Yes Ted Williams was Sears brand before they quit selling guns and actually had a Sporting goods dept.

Thanks everyone for the help. Can't wait to go try it out. He also gave me a
winchester pump 22 which should be alot of fun to shoot.

Winchester 140 or 1400
I had a model 140 "Ranger" semi-auto and it was a great gun.
Some of the 1400s are marked on the receiver.
My 140 only had a serial.
