Super X Model 1

[e rex]

Youngest son is going through a Divorce so I brought his guns home with me. I gave them to him to start with so they are mine until the smoke clears then I'll re-give them to him
The subject is the Winchester Super X Model 1. I stripped it and cleaned it, I had replaced the bolt buffer some years ago but all that was available then was the hard buffer like the one that came with the gun. At that time the old buffer was broken up. Now the buffer appears to not be broken but is mashed flat as a pancake. Is that how they are supposed to look? He is not a high volume shooter, no trap or clay games, just pheasants. That is a beautiful shotgun and I've seen him kill a truck load of pheasants with it but as I just turned 80 I begun to notice, Darn this thing is heavy!
If you could advise me on the bolt buffer I'd appreciate.

NU-line gun parts has more super x parts than anybody else. get that buffer swapped toot-sweet. beware a lot of typical parts places are selling NOS buffers. bad karma, already junk/too hard. ...heavy yes, i am one of the there never was/is a better semi than the super x crowd.
....have trap and a field one. fwiw

This thread needs pictures of some Super Xs.

I agree about the pictures but that is beyond an old man like me. Hope someone does it though.

New red bolt slide buffer is on the way from Midwest Gun Works. The shotgun should be like new once it is installed.

Divorce is tough for all parties. All the best to your son and his family.

Yes, it seems so. But reading a bit about the Super X Model 1, it sounds like they are good guns. Makes me want to find one to fondle and inspect.

The best of the first Win semi autos.

use your search engine and check out trap grade...super deluxe wood, jeweled follower, better trigger than a citori, raised rib (wider too), monte carlo comb, trap full choke....fwiw
