This lot offers a scarce chambering and barrel length Winchester Model 12 pump shotgun in 16 Gauge with Modified choke. This unusual shotgun with serial number 1299398 was made in 1950. Almost the entire run of this Pre-64 solid steel and walnut shotgun was manufactured in either 12 or 20 gauge. And, of these usually they were made in full choke. The Model 12 in 16 gauge is seldom encountered, and an example with a modified choke instead of a full choke is quite rare and desirable. This example has a 28” barrel which was a special order option as the standard length for 16 gauge guns was 26”. The barrel has the correct Winchester, 16 gauge 2 ¾” chamber and Modified choke markings. It retains its bead front sight and the excellent bore is minty bright. The receiver, barrel and magazine retain nearly all of the original blue with only normal light thinning on the edges and receiver bottom. This Model 12 has the desirable takedown feature with the barrel assembly and receiver having matching serial numbers. The correct flat bottom forend is excellent and the butt stock shows only normal light wear. The butt stock also retains the original Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate; These frequently are replaced with after-market recoil pads. The action is tight and overall this is an exceptional, scarce gauge, barrel length and choke classic 73 year old Winchester Model 12 shotgun. The shotgun weighs 6lbs 4oz. Serial Number: 1299398. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*
