Remington Model 12-C

I have a Rem. model 12-c that has a butt stock with a curved butt end and metal butt plate. The stock also has a curved hand grip. Every picture I see of model 12s show a straight hand grip on the stock. I was just wondering what I had. It sure looks like an original stock.
There is no blueing left on the rifle. Would it hurt to have it reblued or should it be left as is. Thanks Gary.

    I have a model 121 but today I bought a model 12-C. I have had my 121 apart before to clean but I noticed on the model 12 there is a button on the under side of the action bar, my 121 does not have this button. Can some one tell me the function of this button? I will be picking it up tomorrow and will want to give it a good cleaning before I shoot it.

    Sounds like the 12c I own. The "C" variant was there hi-grade model and came with the fancy stuff (better finish, curved buttplate, octigon barrel, etc).

    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

    I have one too, with octagon barrel. Yours, since it has no finish it has little collector value, go ahead and reblue it. Reblue won't increase its value but may make it look a lot better.
