Hi all! Just picked up a nice used 1400 mkII 12ga. This is my first auto-loader and first Winchester shotgun ever, anything I should know?

That does look like it's in good shape...

Shoots nice too.....Just got back from it's first outing. Ran a couple boxes of 4s, 6s and some miscellaneous bird shot as well as some 00 buck and a couple boxes of deer slugs. ate it all up :D
The 00 Buck was tactical low recoil stuff, and it didn't like that much (had a couple that it ejected and loaded fine but didn't have enough umph to cock it.) It patterned well and groups slugs nice with the imp. cyl choke in.

I haven't been in a while, but that is the intent behind the purchase of this one. (that and I couldn't argue with $200 for a good condition working auto loader) ;) I've been shooting a lot of clays to keep sharp though.
