2010_FX4 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Gents,I inherited one of these and it no longer fires (some issue in the trigger group I think). I had wanted to send it to Winchester to have it repaired and "refreshed", but I see that Winchester has (more or less) stopped doing this and recommends a few shops.This shotgun is VERY valuable to me in many ways, so I wonder if anyone is aware of a shop that specializes in Winchester Model 25's?TIA!

BarryinIN Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 There is a place in Missouri whose name escapes me now. I'll think of it. A longtime authorized Winchester repair center.I think before I'd send it off anywhere, I'd ask around at a trap or skeet club. If I remember right, the 25 is basically a Model 12 with a fixed barrel. There should be at least one Model 12 expert at any trap or skeet club. You might get it fixed in seconds for no more than buying a round of trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010_FX4 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks Barry. I was actually thinking of having it redone (refinish the wood and re-blue it). But, if done by anyone other than Winchester would likely reduce the value (not that I would sell it at any point--this was my Dad's shotgun he bought brand new way back in the day). So I am a bit undecided... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steves Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Fix it but don't refinish it . It is is in good shooting shape and if it is like a Win model 12 it will be nice to shoot. Win mod 12 shotguns are cool if you hold the trigger in the firing position it will fire as you pump it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
