Bump.

Once again....for anyone wanting a REALLY nice Model 12, this is your shotgun.

I've seen it in person and it is absolutely pristine. You won't find a better one.

No I also think it well worth the asking price, but SWMBO has put me on a gun buying hiatus for a while, (I messed up and told her that with my son's new rifle I will have to get a bigger safe if I buy another one) It is a beautiful shotgun, though, maybe with dove season approaching someone will be more inclined to buy it. Good luck with the sale, I have checked back on it several times, and if I get the go ahead in the near future, and you still have it, I may send you a PM.

You will not be disappointed, should you decide to look at or purchase the shotgun.

It really is in fantastic shape. One might think the 30" barrel unwieldy (depending upon application), but the shotgun 'points' quite easily and has a natural balance.

The 'fit' and finish are unlike anything you will find today in a pump shotgun. The bluing is deep and lustrous, the wood is very, very nice and it is evident the firearm has been lovingly cared for. It simply isn't possible to capture the aesthetic appeal in photos, they just don't show the quality that is there. I was sorely tempted to buy it when I was there looking at the O/U that was previously up for sale.

If anyone is looking for a quality shotgun, this one fits the bill. My hope is that someone will purchase it, use it, then pass it on to a person who is deserving. It is that kind of firearm.

Bump to top

Gentlemen, I will gladly attest to the condition of the Model 12.

I have seen it personally, handled it and looked it over carefully.

It IS every bit as good as represented (IMO better).

For the asking price....you will not find a better specimen.
