Model 12

Post by akuser47 »

Winchester model 12 made in 1938 barrel is marked 2 3/4 modified. non vent ribbed, bead site it measures 30 inch barrel. The pics I'm posting show its overall condition functions great. The hole in the mag tube looks like its been slightly repaired as its looks like cold blueing has been applied in that area. it works fine though. I'm loving this gun shot it today this model is the one you can hold the trigger and pump it and she goes bang its fun fast Makes me want to either riot gun this one or buy a junk one at a ppawn shop and riot gun it.

Model 12's are a work of art IMHO. The action if flawless. And their fit to shoulder is unsurpassed. Bring them up. pull the trigger and you have dinner. I've never owned one. Hopefully, one day

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I just had to post my model 12 hunting experience.

Very nice. I just got one to try out for turkey hunting. Looks like yours. That was one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite shotguns.

I like them pretty well.
Not so much that I'd pay a premium for one however all other things being equal.

Hey AK -

You should be able to score a barrel for your Winchester 12 pretty easily, as I've been on the watch over the years for shotgun barrels in general.

I am NOT going to hijack your thread.....BUT..... :roll: I just got my late 40's/early 50's Western Field SB620A 20 gauge pump from my FFL and it is so minty it's not even funny! I WILL make a thread about it, once I get some time.

Congrats on a classic pump shotgun - BTW the 12 used the 97 as it's base point for design - yep, it owes a good bit to JMB once again!

Have fun - Adam Lee
