The 1200/1300 gradually angles down at the rear and the 200 has a definate drop off. What I always thought strange was rather than just give it different model and name markings, Winchester actually made a different contoured receiver for these. Shoot and function well, I know as for collectors they are not very popular as I escaped with three for a hair less than $200.00 Any Ted Williams collectors or enthusiasts on this planet please post your thoughts. I have come up with a hypothesis on the two letter barrel codes starting with sales in 1964 of the Ted Williams 200 and 300 shotguns.

What were the serial numbers on the Ted Williams and the two letter barrel codes? I have been trying to date the serial numbers and two letter barrel codes to the year of MFG. Double barreled shotgun from Sears and Roebuck. Sears and roebuck Winchester model 53A serial number U1646. Sears and roebuck Winchester model 53A serial number. They are attractive well made cool looking shotguns. All have vented ribs and one has a factory installed adjustable end of the barrel muzzle break, all safties are on the trigger, and all have fancy checkered stocks. I usually collect oddities like Winchester 40's and 50's, Yet I have two of these great Sears Ted Williams 200 Shotguns SN# P296xxx and P375xxx and one model 300 SN# Q43xxx but know little of them except they were made by Sears can anyone give an MFG date on them the estate I purchased them from claim as well as they can remember Grampa had them since the mid sixties. Heck you might end up liking the model 300 and end up not getting a new gun. The model 300 will do fine until you can get the $1000-$1700 gun. The sears and roebuck 300 isn't the best gun ever, but you can hunt with it and shoot sporting clays with it. As to what was sold to sears they are a $200 gun. You have to give us the serial numbers to get an.
