Full choke 27inch barrel 2/34 inch chamber produced from 1960-65 featuring a win-lite barrel composed of a lite steel liner reinforced with a fiber glass exterior. This results in a ultra lite 12GA automatic shotgun that handels and points like a 20GA with light recoil. Winchester designed a recoil reduction system a head of its time back then. Performes and functions perfectly no rust and has been stored in a lighted humidity controlled wood display cabinent. HAS NOT BEEN FIRED IN 42 YEARS due to an accident which rendered me a quadriplegic. The receiver is aluminum alloy like new condition with a beatifull stamped engravied scroll depicting upland hunting scene on left and marsh on right side. Very early production as serial no: is 1826 and history says they started at 1000. Winchester produced 80 some thousand model 59s how many Win Lites can't say. Over all I rate very good condition stock shows signs of some use, Buyer pays shipping and valid F.A.C. required.
