Description:
This is a beautiful limited-production Winchester Model 12 pump-shotgun in 20 gauge made up for Quail Unlimited Sponsors in unfired, like-new condition complete with the original box.  With only 100 of these made, this example is number 43 out of 100.  These Quail Unlimited Sponsor Edition Winchester Model 12's feature a high-gloss blue factory finish, a factory engraved and gold-inlaid receiver, a 26" inch ventilated rib barrel choked "Improved Cylinder", and a deluxe checkered Walnut stock set with a factory satin finish.  This particular example is serial number MT162 and as mentioned earlier, is numer 43 of the 100 made.  The factory gloss blue finish on this Model 12 rates 98 to 99%, with the only deductions coming from some very minor markings on the action bar and magazine tube from the action being opened/worked.  The factory game scene and scroll engraving on either side of the receiver is super crisp and clean, and the gold inlays are bright and beautiful.  The bore in the 26" inch ventilated rib barrel is mirror-bright and pristine, free from any pitting, dents, bulges, or defects of any kind.  The vent rib is straight as an arrow and perfectly joined to the barrel, and the silver bead front sight is intact.  The factory gold-finished trigger is like-new and perfect, showing no wear or marring, and even the red paint around the fire position on the safety is perfect and 100% intact.  The factory polished bolt is bright and clean, free from any staining or pitting, and the shell lifter is pristine, showing no "stripe" mark on the bottom side from being loaded.  The factory deluxe Walnut stock set on this Winchester is beautiful.  The Walnut shows some very nice figure and contrasting color in the grain, particularly in the buttstock.  The checkered panels are crisp and clean, and the factory installed blued-steel pistol grip cap and Winchester-branded black plastic checkered buttplate are in perfect shape and expertly fit to the wood.  The factory satin finish on the stock set is a perfect compliment to the high-gloss blue metal finish and gold inlays.  The action on this Winchester is smooth but tight, as it has not been fired and 'broken in" since leaving the factory.  The bolt locks into battery perfectly with no slop, and all of the controls are in perfect "like-new" working order.  As mentioned in the title, this limited production Quail Unlimited Sponsor Edition Model 12 comes complete with the original factory box serial numbered to the gun with both Styrofoam inserts, the owner's manual, and the plastic shipping bags it left the factory with.  If you have been looking for a unique and scarce Winchester Model 12 variation in 20 gauge for your collection, this Quail Unlimited Sponsor Edition shotgun would be an excellent choice.  It would be all but impossible to upgrade from this complete and minty beauty.
