I have a 1929 Winchester Model 12, 16 guage, 2 3/4. I believe it to be a field grade with 2 barrel assemblies. Barrel 1 is a 22 inch improved cylinder with a solid rib. Barrel 2 is a 28 inch with loop sight. The gun is in fair to good condition and was wondering what it might be worth.
I would have attached pics if I could figure out how to do it.

I need to get some info on the "Y series"
models..I believe they were only produced the last couple of years before
Winchester sold out to US Repeating arms--late 50s and pre 64.. I think all Y
series Mod 12s had a ventilated rib..but do not know what gauges were available
for sure..Do know they had a Model 12 12 gauge TRAP gun..Would like to know if
they had field guns--barrel lentghs and chokes..also did they make a 16 gauge..I
like the 28 gauge so much now I am compliplating a 12 or 16 gauge, but must be a
Y series..If available they will undoubtably be hard to find and no doubt out of
my price range, but I am curious.
I have a Winchester model 12, 12 gauge 26" ws1 that was made in 1963 that I use for grouse hunting. It shoots and points like a dream, however within the last year or so sometimes it is extremely hard to push the pump back forward once fired to load the second round. I have taken the receiver apart multiple times to clean and lube everything inside, I even took it to a local gunsmith, he honed some of the sliding parts inside, he said because of their design this was the nature of the model 12. It doesn't do this every time I shoot just at random. Does anyone know of a special lube or something I could use. I also found a receiver from a Y model 12 for sale, would my barrel and stock interchange with it? I know the Y models were casted instead of machined, does this effect the smoothness of the action? Any help appreciated. Thanks
I have a older model 12 i picked up about 20 years ago and cant find much on it as far as its value. I was manufactured in the US with matching serial number of 1660872. It has a 30 inch barrel with factory ventalated rib with a 2 3/4 inch chamber and full choke. I also has a peep sight install behind the bolt that appears to have been after market. If anyone has any information on this firearm, its history and value please help me out. I have seen one very simular in Cabella's gun library with a price take of about $1800, only notable difference was the serial number which was 157xxxx with a 3 inch chamber.
The wood on my gun is in excellent condition and the metal in very good condition with a fair amount of bluing wear on the receiver.
I am having problems with a model 12 winchester. When assembled, the cartridge cutoff does not block the magazine when the bolt is closed and you cannot load shells as they pop back out. What am I doing wrong?
I have just received a Winchester model 1912 12 guage full choke, serial number 769** with a 30" barrel. Can anyone give me a clue about the date of manufacture? Gun is not for sale, but was left to me by my great-grandfather. Thanks. Earl.
Can a winchester model 12 12 gauge 2 3/4" chamber be modified ( have chamber lenghtened) to shoot 3" shells
The reason i ask is i own a model 12 roit gun (watts commemorative edition[:D]) which is in like new condition. I would like to purchase a extra barrel/ mag,forearm which i see a lot of on ebay. I would like to have a spare duck gun realize the new set up will have to be fitted .What i really wanted was a 12 heavy duck
thanks rp
With all do respect to 22WRF, The Md 12 32" barrel was only availble in 12 ga. The longest barrel for 16 & 20 ga. guns was 30 in. The last year the 30" barrel was marketed for the 16&20 ga. was 1950. And it was only available in plain, or solid rib. My reference: Riffles book on the Md 12 and Maddis' book on the Md 12. Regards Dave

Hey Bert...not going to Reno, but still plan on catching you at Little Johns
Just for the giggles, I will Third that motion[:D]
Question for Dave and Bob... are you fellows going to be at the April Big Reno show? I will be there for the entire 3-days (a good friend of mine has a table rented for this show, and I will be helping him out when my feet get too tired of hoofing it around all day[;)]). I would like to hook-up with both of you if you are planning to attend.
Hey Bet H, I don't know if the other guys got back to you on the Big Reno Show in April or not, but I will be there for sure! Let me know where you are gonna be, and I will look you up!
