Early 1970s Winchester Model 101 (30" Fixed Full/Full Trap Configuration)

Putting the firearm back on line as the previous deal fell through...

Shotgun in very good condition with mirror bores, a tight lock-up and 30" barrels, recoil pad is an Uncle Mikes and is in good condition. When I had the firearm advertised the first time I received many questions regarding the TRAP designation and other details wrt this firearm, I updated the photos on 03-Sep-2026 and the following is the research...

Why It’s So Hard to Figure Out

Vintage firearm companies didn't make clear-cut models; they made customized variations for different markets. Callers are arguing with you because they are looking at conflicting clues:

1. The Chokes say "Trap": The factory FULL / FULL fixed chokes (stamped right on your barrel in image 8) are the universal hallmark of a dedicated Trap gun. Field guns for hunting almost never came in Full/Full over-and-under configurations because it destroys close-range birds. [1]
2. The Chambers say "Hunting": Your barrel is stamped 2 ¾" & 3". Most "pure" competitive trap guns only shoot 2 ¾" light target loads. Because yours has a 3-inch Magnum chamber, many collectors automatically assume it is a "Field/Waterfowl" hunting gun, even though Winchester explicitly made 30-inch Magnum Trap variants in the early 1970s for shooters who wanted a dual-purpose heavy clay and goose gun. [1, 2, 3, 4]
3. The Stock Shape: If you look at the buttstock in image 2, it is a straight target stock. It does not have the dropped "Monte Carlo" comb (the step-down shape) found on later, purely dedicated 101 Trap models. [1, 2]

The Ultimate Verdict For Your Ad

You have a Winchester Model 101 "Magnum" Over/Under with 30" Full/Full Trap Barrels.

To completely shut down the "is it a trap or field?" debate and stop people from arguing semantics on the phone, drop the labels entirely and let the physical dimensions do the talking.

Update the model name in your ad to this exact phrase:
