Yes the Winchester 140 is a cheaper varient of the model 1400. The only real difference is the type of material used in the storck and foregrip. A 1400 has Walnut or Synthetic stocks avalible. Where as a 140 was only avalible in a hardwood usually birch stock with no checkering and a walnut stain. The word Ranger on the barrel is normal the Model 120 pump and the 140 auto were both in the ranger series. The 140's are getting quite rare and not shown in many articles because Winchester only made 5000 of them in 12,20,16 and 10 gauge. Also the 1400 barrel will interchange with this fine Winchester. zmopar1@aol.com

no the 1300 barrel does not have gas ports in it yes the 1300 barrel will fit ,no it does not have the gas ports BUT any competent machine shop or gunsmith can drill out the ports for you.
Yes. The gas ports on the 1400 barrel will fill up with dirt/powder residue but it will work fine. I have been using an cut down 1400 barrel on my 1300 for many years.
Any barrel will fit only if you replace the tube also to a conventional 1300 tube.
You can.
Try a 1300 barrel
Yes as long as you get one made for the Winchester model 1300 and chambered for the same length of shotgun shell that the receiver is chambered for.
