Sears M200 parts

[Pain103]

 My wife’s late father owned a Sears M200 12 gauge chambered in 2 3/4”. Well apparently after his passing family members didn’t know what to do and it sat with some rusting. My wife wishes me to attempt to restore it as a keepsake. Anyone here have any parts. I haven’t stripped it down completely yet but so far it will need buttpad, barrel, spring with cap.

THe one I owned was a Ted Williams and  essentially a Winchester 1200. I do remember that the barrels were not interchangeable. Gun parts.com should have parts for your gun.

I have bought from them a few times. Shop around, but sonetimes they have things hard to find other places.

According to the Crossover Chart in the back of my old Blue Book the Sears Model 200 is a Winchester 1200. Parts should interchange. However, Sears had different model numbers for every little variation of their guns. It might be something as small as the checkering pattern on the wood from one version to another. The charts lists about 50 different store model numbers for the Sears Model 200 shotgun. 

The Winchester 1200 is also known to be troublesome as far as parts go. Some years ago a friend asked me if I could fix his Sears 200. All it needed was a special screw that goes in the bolt. I discovered that Winchester changed that particular screw about 5 times over the production run and there was no info anywhere on which screw It needed. Took me a while, but I finally found the right one by trial and error. 

The parts you need should be fairly common to all models. Is the barrel bad, missing or just a bit rusty? Maybe you can salvage it?

I’ve had good luck finding random, old shotgun parts on eBay. There are several guys who deal solely with parting out old guns & their prices have been more than fair for what I’ve needed. I imagine it’s quite difficult to make any real profit selling small parts for $5-10 a piece. I did a quick search & saw a barrel, fore grip & a complete stock.

There’s also a guy on armslist who buys old guns. He’s been posting wanted adds as long as I’ve been using armslist & im sure he has a ton of parts. You could reach out to him.
