Yes they did , I have one
The value of a Winchester Model 12 shotgun can vary depending on its condition, age, and any modifications. The addition of a stainless steel barrel may impact the value positively if it is a factory original feature or negatively if it is a custom modification. A thorough assessment by a qualified appraiser or gun shop would be needed to determine an accurate value.
The Winchester model 1300 was replaced by the Winchester SXP (Super X Pump) model, which features an improved design for smoother operation and increased reliability. It is a modern interpretation of the classic pump-action shotgun with updated features for enhanced performance.
Not sure but I have a 181 model that was produced in 1979 and it is of the stainless flavor....
You can determine the manufacturing date of a Winchester Model 1300 by researching the serial number. The first two letters in the serial number will indicate the year of production. Winchester's website or a gun manufacturer database can help you decode this information.
Probably because Winchester never changed the Model number except by dropping the '18' around 1915. Sort of like having a Ford Mustang. A 1965 model and a 2005 model are both Mustangs, but they're not the same.
Only the factory knows and they are not telling.
No the model 70 Winchester made before 1964 was never made in stainless steel.
Yes, on certain models. Around serial number 1600000 and beyond.
Your Marlin model 1894S was made in the year 1988 with the serial number that you have supplied.

This Winchester model 1894 rifle could be very valuable,as Winchester only offered there barrels in Stainless Steel for a very short time in the late 1920,s.I would have your Winchester looked at by a Winchester collector assoc.member to get a more qualified appraised value.It will surely be worth your time.
It sounds like to me that you have the Winchester model 1200 police stainless model.The serial number just means the number assigned to your shotgun during the time of production,nothing more.The Winchester model 1200 series shotguns were produced from 1964-1981.The serial number was mandated by the goverment with the passage of the gun control act of 1968.
yes
Winchester did not produce a Model 81 bolt action. Exactly how is your rifle marked? sales@countrygunsmith.net
