hi all,
does anyone know if the triggers on a olin/Japanese winchester 101 are mechanical or inertia? i would like to load low pressure shells as per Allaint (20/28) but had some difficulty w/a Browning Superposed 12 in that low pressure/recoil loads (less 5,000 psi) would not cycle the upper trigger.
thanks,
john

Mechanical (many are, I'm wondering if some of the early one may have been inertia??).

An easy way to check useing snap caps, fire one barrel and then try the other, if both fire, mechanical. For inertia trigggers, use the flat of your hand and hit it against the butt of the stock, this will set the second barrel up.

I think but not 100% positive the older ones were mechanical and sometime in the late 60's early 70's they became inertia triggers. I have a 1966 model that is mechanical.

My 20 gauge Olin Kodensha skeet and skeet with 3" chambers has mechanical triggers. I received the gun for Xmas 1972. 101's are excellent shotguns.

I agree, 101's are very nice guns.

The inertia trigger were introduced on some of the target grade guns. They did not replace the mechanical trigger across the entire line. Some hunting grade guns also had the inertia trigger.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Winchester just introduced a new shotgun called the 101 which is totally different gun than the old Japanese 101's. Why would they muddy the waters and give this new and different O/U the same nomenclature...101?? Talk about confusing.

Buzz, the new 101's (field version) is pretty faithful in handling characteristics, and styling but totally different mechanically. I checked dimensions and weights etc between an old model and a new model with the same barrel lengths and found them to be nearly identical. The new one may be better mechanically only time will tell. They won't win in popularity, the market is flooded with bigger named guns that get all the press.

John, apologies. I never intended to hi-jack your thread with a question of my own.
