There is a lot of info online on how to do this stuff but it’s NOT user friendly. I ended up picking up this special FFL Kit that walks you through the process.

My 1300 came with a fully extended magazine tube. The end cap is just below the end of the barrel. If I added the magazine extension, it would protrude past the end of my barrel and look goofy, unless I could find a good muzzle break or something. I mounted a maglight with a remote switch to the side of my barrel with a universal scope mount that worked very well.

Try a few Aguila mini slugs. They load VERY well in my 1300 and they have very little recoil. The wife might like them. They exit at 1250 fps and are fairly acurate to 35 yards.

The microlon webite has a link at the top of the page to lab results done around 1972 I think. This gun juice stuff has been around for 30 or 40 years.
I just bought some yesterday at a gun show because I’ve heard nothing but good things about it for years, but I am a skeptic by nature so I finally decided to just test it myself.
They make a sort of paste that you are supposed to be able to use on internal parts like trigger linkages, etc. that you use instead of the liquid, no heat needed.

do u ever shoot ur weapon.

My 1300 defender has 8 shot stock capacity, before adding the extension.

the only difference there is between the different 1300 models is the barrel lentgh. the defender is a shot barrel and the ranger is a long barrel, my 1300 is depending on what barrel i got on either a ranger or a defender. hope that helped sumwhat. so basicly its the barrels that got different names, crystalhunter1989, check ur barrel there should read what it is, if its a longer barrel its probably the ranger, short = defender.

That was a good idea with the flashlight mount!! Good Job!

Ah, well mine was made at the New Haven factory in Connecticut. I think it’s a Black Shadow but I don’t know for certain because it doesn’t have anything stamped on the gun other than Winchester 1300.

Defenders will have defender stamped in the barrel and has an 18 inch mag tube from the factory. Also the best one to have will be the older model when winchester was owned by Olin corp. before they sold out to F & N

those are fragmentable rounds. If you google Box o Truth you’ll find some interesting rest results on those. I don’t trust fragmentation rounds to get the job done. They may be safer in over-penetration situations, but the results i’ve seen show they don’t penetrate nearly well enough. That is NEVER a problem I EVER want to have, personally

thire is some sluges that are made for home defence and they are made to brake up and reduse the chance of over penitration

How long is it’s barrel because I have a Winchester 1300 ( I think its a ranger ) and the barrel is like 28 inches. And I’m looking to get a different barrel or new gun.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
i have no idea how to tell the defender or not. I personally wanted the pistol grip, but the wife can’t shoot it easily with just the pistol so having an option for a folding stock seemed logical for me.
March 6th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
I have a Winchester 1300, but I don’t know if it is a Defender or not. How can I tell? Also, what advantage does the folding stock have over a regular one other than size reduction? If you’ve already cut off a few inches on the barrel, isn’t that enough?

You’re a gun nut that makes his own wine and smokes cigars. We must have bee separated at birth.
March 6th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
ahhh, awesome idea man.
March 6th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
With regards to the heat shield.
It looks like the rear sight on the shield might interfere with the folding stock.
A turn or two of black electrical tape at the contact points is a cheap way to protect your barrel.
I was able to find a polymer heat shield with no sights (I think it was made by Chaote) at Midway. I am not sure if they make one to fit the defender. I was very happy with mine.

A gun mounted shell holder is far superior to a sling mounted one. Shells on the sling are alright if you want some extra ammo while duck hunting. In a defense situation you are not going to want to play “catch the swinging sling” game. It is a lot easier to grab shells from a gun mounted caddy and it is a shorter distance to the loading port as well.
As a side note – I was assured by several mechanical engineers that springs do not lose tension under steady load.

Thanks for making this a video response to my video man.
Thanks for sharing

Ok good, I am glad to see this working out well for you.

LOL, ya, i know. I thought about breaking it into a gun / homebrewing video, but I recorded it all as one big segment and it looked awkward when I broke it up.

I think i’ve talked about the magazine / feedingissue I had in another video. I dont remember which one. It turned out to be a bad magazine. I returned it to taurus and they swapped it out for me. 100% reliable feeding now so long as I don’t use crap ammo.
