In 1971 I bought a 20-gauge field gun at one of the U.S. Navy exchanges in Japan with a nice luggage case for $201, and gave it to my Father. He used it a lot the last 17 years he hunted.
In 1974 and 75 I was very involved in the Chugach Rod & Gun Club at Fort Richardson, Alaska, while I was a token U.S. Navy officer on the joint staff at next door Elmendorf AFB. We got in a number of Winchester Model 101s. The Model 101 three-barrel small gauge skeet sets were very popular. We also got in a numberof higher grade Model 101s that I've never seen listed in any Winchester catalogues. I suspect the high grade guns we got in were testing the waters for higher grade Model 101s to come.
