Winchester 1400

I purchased a used Winchester 1400 and was cleaning it up before shooting and noticed there wasn't a seal or o-ring behind the barrel band that goes around the magazine tub. Is the shot gun suppose to have a seal at that spot? Any help would be appreciated.

    Shell follower in magazine tube extends beyond the end of the tube and
    interfers with the operation of the self loading.
    Any suggestions?

    I've been told a Winchester 1400 Forend will not fit on a Winchester 1400 MKII. Any know the difference.

    I just acquired a 12 gauge semi-auto Winchester 1400; an older model with the high gloss finish like the old Rem. 1100's. A beautiful piece. It has a 3 shot capacity with 2 3/4" shells and the pre MK II receiver. It came with a 28" mod. VR barrel. My question is this: Will the later model 1400 Winchoke barrels fit this gun? Rather than buy a barrel for every occasion, I'd like to get one that'll accept Winchokes and just buy the chokes.

    Thanks for the help.

    You have worn parts! Easy fix if your good at do it yourself repair, however if your not sure of where to find parts or unsure or diy, then take it to a qualified gunsmith for proper repair! Best

    Dr. Juan,

    You might want to try reversing the magazine follower. Is there perhaps a chance you have it in backwards?

    Pistollero1050,

    I don't see where anyone has badmouthed the shotgun. There is nothing wrong with the 1400, as it is about on the same level playing field as a Mossberg 500. When you get around 10K rounds thru it, let us know how it is running.

    Best
