Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
First introduced in 1968 as the direct successor to the legendary Model 37, the Winchester Model 370 stands as one of the most dependable and rugged single-barrel break-action shotguns produced in modern shooting history. Manufactured under strict Winchester quality standards, the Model 370 retains the classic exposed hammer lockwork and robust top-lever break-open mechanism that made its predecessor an iconic staple across American farms, woods, and hunting grounds. Featuring a heavy steel receiver, Winchester Proof Steel barrel construction, automatic shell ejection, and a tight lockup assembly, the Model 370 offers simple, fail-safe field utility for upland game and small-bore shotgun enthusiasts.
This specific example is an authentic Winchester Model 370 single-barrel shotgun chambered in 20 Gauge, bearing serial number C186865. Configured in classic field trim, it features a 28-inch Winchester Proof Steel barrel with a fixed Full choke, 3-inch chamber capability, high-gloss blued steel finish, exposed spur hammer, smooth hardwood pistol grip stock, and a matching Schnabel-style forend. The factory blued metal finishes present in crisp condition throughout, displaying sharp roll-marks, deep receiver blue, and smooth wood surfaces. Mechanically, the break-action lockup is bank-vault tight, top lever return is strong, the external hammer cocks cleanly, the automatic ejector kicks crisply, and the 28-inch barrel bore is mirror-bright. Offering a complete, reliable 20 Gauge hunting setup, this Winchester Model 370 is ready for the field or collection.
