hey guys , my father in law gave me a 12 ga shotgun that is new in the box about 2 months ago that has been in my safe . well today i just happen to find a barrel for it that actually uses winchokes in a 28 in vent rib . i really wasnt considering using it until today since i can now use a good choke in the barrel . the barrel that was on it was a plain fixed modified choke with no vent rib . it is a 120 winchester ranger . does anybody know of any aftermarket thumbhole or pistol grip style stocks that will fit this gun . i hate wood stocks, and the gun dealer that i bought the barrel from said this is the same gun as a 1200/1300 winchester, so if anybody knows of any stocks please feel free to let me know and i might just make a turkey gun out of this thing after all . thanks

I have that same gun, but I havent even begun to look into barrels or stocks for it yet. Where did you find a barrel to fit it with interchangable chokes?

i actually found this barrel at a local gun shop/ gunsmith here in western nc . it is marked winchester 120 ranger , but he said any 1200/ 1300 barrel will fit these guns . i have another place that i was going to order a barrel from that ill have to remember and post it on here for you .

trevor2 , it was midwest gun works that had the new barrels for sale . they say 1200/1300 on them but when you look at them it says , fits 120 ranger also .  they are new barrels though and run about 200 bucks . thats the only place i found that had them .

Thanks I may try to get one before next season and turn this little ranger into another turkey rig.
