Default RE: winchester model 50 shotgun

Wildman...You got it right..."Winlite" it was....

The 59 also offered the first screw in choke tubes on the market " Winchokes" ...A few years ahead of thier time... I have the IC, MOD and FULL tubes for my 59...

BTW...I bought it from a local gun shop owner in 1965...he had repossesed it from a guy who had started to pay for it but could not pay it off... I bought it for what the original buyer still owed on it...$105 of the original retail price of $160.. I took the gun home, used it, and payed it off for $5 a week... Those were the days...
