Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 36 Shotgun was produced from 1920-1927 with only about 20,000 made. It was a unique offering from Winchester, a 9mm rimfire shotgun, and was introduced as a “garden gun” for pest control. With its single-shot, bolt-action mechanism, it offered a lightweight, compact, easy-to-handle option for vermin and varmints with minimal recoil.
This Winchester Model 36 Shotgun was made between 1920-1927 and is in Very Good Condition. It features a 17.5” barrel, 60% of its original blued finish, clear markings, a one-piece walnut stock with a protruding takedown “penny” slot screw at the middle bottom, and a gray smooth bore with general erosion throughout. This is a scarce Winchester from the interwar period.
