Frequently Asked Questions
Winchester 101 for sale
Is the Winchester 101 still being made?
Winchester discontinued the original Model 101 in 1987. A later version was revived under the Winchester brand, built in Belgium with a Beretta lock-up, sharing only the name with the original. That revived model is also now discontinued. Used examples remain widely available on the secondary market at varying prices.
What makes the Winchester 101 special?
Winchester's Model 101, introduced in 1963, earned respect as a fast-handling over-under built to rival Browning. Higher grades like the Pigeon Grade offered solid craftsmanship. Its balanced design and reliable mechanics made it a practical choice for hunters and competitive shooters across several decades.
What year was the Winchester 101 made?
Winchester introduced the Model 101 in 1963. Production ran until 1987 at the Olin Kodensha plant in Japan. Serialization records for guns made after 1971 are incomplete, making exact manufacturing dates for individual firearms difficult to determine.
