Model 12 help


Pulp, SASS#28319

Recommended Posts

A family member showed me his 16 gauge Model 12 last night.  Made in 1924 and obviously used very hard and not well maintained.  I told him I’d clean it up.  I cannot

get the takedown pin to rotate the magazine far enough clear the threads.  Maybe 1/8 turn and it stops, I’m not gonna put any serious torque on it, not my gun and don’t wanna break anything.  Any tips?

I use it all the time for stubborn parts in my stop ...

And I do a lot of work on old guns some haven't seen the light of day in 70 years or more ...

I often shoot a Husky Under- Lever Hammered 16 ga. made in 1884 ...

It'll come apart.

 

And remember... there's a special place in heaven for anyone who rescues a Model 12.  :)

 

Check out Mark Novak's "Model 12 Conservancy" here.

 

I've known many; have but one.  And yes, it is a Model 12.  ^_^

You could also use a heat gun to heat the magazine tube where it screws into the receiver. Hair dryer will work, just takes longer.
