Warning: Annie Rushing, or a person posing as Annie Rushing, of 240 Jackson Dr, Paris, TN 38242, is listing and selling guns under the moniker Vulcan90. This is a scam operation. Send money, and you will never hear from them again. Beware!
This Model 12 Featherweight is new in the box (NIB). It has never been fired fired. It was manufactured in 1961. Comes with the owner's manual and other literature. No need to ever upgrade.
TWinchester’s Model 12 slide-action shotgun has won the praise of hunters, competitors, and soldiers alike during the 90 years, and nearly 2 million pieces made since its 1912 introduction. Some of its fans have even gone so far as to agree with the company’s appellation of the gun as “the perfect repeater.”
The Model 12 was initially offered in 20 gauge only, which made it the first Winchester shotgun of that gauge and the first hammerless slide-action repeating shotgun to bear the Winchester logo. Two years after its introduction, it was available in both 12 gauge and 16 gauge.
The 12-ga. “trench” model with a 20” cylinder-bore barrel, perforated cooling sleeve, and detachable knife bayonet was introduced in 1917. Without a bayonet lug and cooling sleeve, it was listed in the Winchester catalog as the Model 12 Guard and Riot gun. A 28-ga. the sporting version came on the market in 1934.
In its various guises, the Model 12 would distinguish itself through countless victories in the game fields, trap and skeet ranges, and in both World Wars.
The gun’s basic mechanical layout—credited to design team chief Thomas Crossley Johnson in the company’s post-Browning partnership era—remained virtually unchanged throughout its life.
It is of the old school, wherein the bolt locks up to a forged, machined, blued-steel receiver, and walnut serves for the buttstock and slide handle. Numerous machine operations, some complex in nature, were required to produce the receiver, and Winchester boasted that only the best steel alloys then available were used in the gun’s manufacture.
That “quality at all costs” approach eventually proved the Model 12’s downfall, however, as it collided with the reality of modern-day labor costs and manufacturing methods. Finally, in the late 1960s, the Model 12 was deemed too costly to keep in production.
Attempts were later made to reduce its cost of manufacture, and limited sales of original-type guns were offered through the custom shop. By the early ’70s, though, the pump shotgun in general had lost much of its appeal, and the old warhorse was relegated to the heirloom and collectible sector of the market.
Nevertheless, the Model 12 remains beloved by tens of thousands of sportsmen who refuse to retire their “perfect repeaters” or think less of them.
More than 2 million Model 12s were made, and that legend of smooth operation and durability has fueled some collector interest. Model 12s can be abused, left out in the elements, dropped, kicked, or worse, and still keep shooting. Given even minimal care, however, a Model 12 will outlast virtually any other pump-gun. If you can find one, a Model 12 is well worth the investment.
