Description:

This Winchester Model 12 Takedown Slam Fire is a masterpiece of American firearm manufacturing, featuring historical significance and extraordinary mechanical design from 1947. As a 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun, it offers exceptional reliability and formidable power, making it equally suitable for personal defense, sports shooting, or hunting. Its 'Slam Fire' feature enables rapid-fire action by pumping and holding the trigger down, enhancing its functionality. The 'blued' finish and takedown model add to its unique aesthetic appeal and portability, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts. The 6+1 capacity ensures continuous firepower when it counts the most.
While showing signs of extensive prior use, evidenced by dents, scrapes, and finish loss on the wood and significant bluing loss on the metal, this shotgun retains its functional integrity. The chamber ring is nicely mated and the gun functions with a slightly loose lock-up. The bore is in excellent condition, boasting a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear. The barrel is loose in receiver extension and should have inspected/repaired by a qualified gunsmith before firing. Despite the rough exterior, this piece holds a unique charm for any antique firearm collector. This shotgun is a matching serial model, adding to its desirability for collectors.
Designed by Thomas Crossley Johnson and introduced in 1912, the Winchester Model 12, also known as the M12 or The Perfect Repeater, is a highly revered shotgun. Its popularity spans over five decades, with this specific shotgun dating back to the post-World War II era of 1947. Known for its strength, reliability, and accuracy, the Model 12 has a well-established reputation, making it a popular choice for both civilian and law enforcement use. The Takedown Slam Fire variant is particularly notable for its ability to continuously fire when the trigger is held down and the action is worked, a mechanism known as "slam fire."
