120/10 barrel compatibility

jkingrph · Jul 17, 2026

I have an old Win. 1200 pump 20 ga and have been wanting a slug barrel. Finally found one on ebay listed as for 1300/1200/120 and it came in today. Stamped 120 20 ga and it fits my 1200. I did notice it has ports as for a semi auto. Why would a barrel for a pump have such ports and is is it safe to use on my 1200 pump gun

Looks like I posted numbers it title header too quick

That's a fun find hunting down a slug barrel that actually fits an old 1200. Anything with ported barrels and cross-compatibility between pump and semi-auto guns is really something I'd want a guy who's actually worked on these to weigh in on before you shoot it.

I sent an email to Winchester customer service. Don't expect a reply until sometime next week, as they were probably closed by the time I sent it.

Just got a ebay message from the seller,and can return it I will also take to gunsmith and see it he can possibly tap and put some set screws in to seal the holes.

Winchester replied that they do not recommend it. Local gunsmith who is also a tool/die maker said it would be ok to use as is, not enough gas would escape to hurt. He also said if I wanted to do so, clean and degrease well and fill holes with a dab of JB Weld , which I think I shall try.
