Are Winchester 1300 DeerSlug/Defender parts interchangable ?

Question

I have a Winchester 1300 (Deer Slug) non-rifled, shotgun and wish to take the barrel down to the legal 18+" and add a pistol & forgrip. Do the same grips advertised for the "Defender" fit the "Deer Slug" gun ? Stamped on barrel is (2.3/4" & 3") and on the very bottom of the barrel it's staped (Deer Slug). Shot gun is not being used for hunting anymore.

Answer 1

The barrel is not the deciding factor.

The receiver is the deciding factor.

The Winchester 1300 is a Winchester 1300

What you have is a "Heavy Barrel" on it.

The only difference in the Slug Gun and the regular defender is the barrel and maybe the number of shells it holds.

I would buy a new barrel and not cut your slug barrel

If you have the 8 round defender here is a good deal on the barrel.
