c1964 WINCHESTER Model 12 SLIDE ACTION 12 Gauge Hammerless Shotgun C&R 12g

Popularly Named the “PERFECT REPEATER”

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 12 Slide Action Shotgun, manufactured circa 1964-66 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1912 was Winchester's first slide-action hammerless shotgun. In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, prior to this date, the Model 12 would have been the Model 1912.  It was designed by T. C. Johnson, utilizing a strong frame and a hidden hammer. The chamber was made longer for the 2-3/4 inch shells in 1927, then later for 3 inch shells.  This shotgun was available in many barrel lengths, all possible chokes, numerous gauges and 11 different models.

The Model 12 is an internal-hammer, pump-action shotgun with an external tube magazine. It was popularly named the “Perfect Repeater”. It largely set the standard for pump action shotguns over its 51-year production lifespan from August 1912 until first discontinued by Winchester in 1963 with over 1,962,000 guns sold.

This example has an interesting history. As stated in the factory letter, the last serial number issued for this model was 1962001, with this gun being numbered 144 later at 1962145. It’s likely that this gun was assembled from leftover parts from the regular production run. Or it is possible an employee gun who “procured” the parts necessary to complete a gun, unbeknownst to Winchester.

The overall condition is near fine. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with smooth surfaces. The stock features nice grain and is smooth and solid.
