Winchester Model 12
28 Gauge Solid Rib
Skeet Extremely Rare 1953 Production
Description: This is one of the most desirable configurations Winchester ever produced in the legendary Model 12 line — a true factory 28 Gauge Model 12 Skeet Gun with a solid, filed rib, manufactured in 1953 and preserved in exceptional original condition. Serious Winchester collectors already know: the 28-gauge, solid rib, 26-inch skeet guns sit at the absolute top of the Model 12 hierarchy. This example features the correct and highly sought-after 2 7/8" chambers, a 26-inch barrel, and a factory-marked SKEET choke, exactly as Winchester produced for competitive shooters of the era. The rib is Winchester’s proper solid flat matted rib, not the later Simmons conversions often seen on the market. The rib, barrel markings, and contour all align with a genuine factory configuration. The walnut stock and forearm retain the classic Model 12 profile with a clean pistol grip and original Winchester grip cap. Dimensions are ideal for both collectors and shooters: - Length of Pull: 14 1/8" - Drop at Comb: 1 1/2" - Drop at Heel: 2 1/2" - Cast: Neutral - Weight: 7 lbs. 5 oz. The gun balances beautifully — exactly what Winchester intended when these were built as purpose-designed skeet guns rather than field models. The original Winchester buttplate remains intact. Mechanically, the gun is strong, smooth, and tight. The action functions with the unmistakable feel of a correct Model 12 — fast, slick, and reliable. Cosmetically, the bluing remains excellent for its age, with proper tone and sheen, and the wood retains deep color and figure. With a serial number of 1351536, this Model 12 dates to 1953, placing it in the final stretch of the golden-era Winchester production years when craftsmanship and steel quality were at their peak. Guns like this rarely surface. The Model 12 in 28 gauge was produced in extremely limited numbers, and solid rib 28s are among the scarcest of all configurations. Add the factory skeet markings, correct chambering, correct rib, and untouched original dimensions, and you have a true blue-chip Winchester collectible. Whether you are a dedicated Winchester collector, a Model 12 historian, or you’ve been waiting for a legitimate solid-rib 28ga skeet gun that hasn’t been altered or refinished, this is the kind of gun that elevates a collection.
