Baltimore Ed Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Can’t seem to be able to post photos on the WB forum and I’m guessing that a lot of us bounce between here and there so I’ll show it here. A Winchester Model 12 from 1925 with a polychoke, I cut the bbl and faced it at about 19 inches. The original shortened stock was split and the stock iron that the stock bolt screws into was bent so I believe a po fell on the stock to do the damage. My replacement stock was nos that I bought 20 years ago for another project but never used it till now. Stained and truoiled it to match it to the pump handle. Cut the mortise for the lower swivel on my mini mill and epoxied the upper swivel from an 03-A3 swivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Very nice. This is my original, made in 1918, Model 1912, in riot configuration. Somebody back down the road removed the sling swivel from the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a Model 12. Mine predates shortening the name, and it's a Model 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for the model 1912 vs model 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
