Lot 1500:
Winchester Model 12 Pump Action Shotgun 12 Gauge with 28 Inch Modified Barrel
Description
This Winchester Model 12 is a classic pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge for 2 3/4 inch shells. It features a 28-inch barrel professionally fitted with a Simmons Gun Specialties ventilated rib, providing a clear sighting plane for field or target use. The barrel is marked with a modified (MOD) choke designation. The receiver and barrel assembly are finished in a traditional blued steel, displaying the characteristic Winchester proof marks of a P and W within an oval on the top surfaces. The furniture consists of a ribbed walnut pump handle and a smooth walnut pistol grip buttstock that has been modified with a black rubber Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. Key markings on the barrel include Winchester Trade Mark, Made in U.S.A., Model-12-12 GA.-2 3/4 CHAM., and Winchester Proof Steel. The top of the ventilated rib is explicitly marked Simmons Gun Specialties Patented. Both the underside of the receiver and the barrel take-down assembly share the matching serial number 1745725. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The shotgun retains a significant amount of its blued finish, though it shows expected thinning and silvering on the receiver edges and the magazine tube from action operation. There are scattered light handling marks and minor surface scratches on the metal surfaces. The walnut stocks are in good condition with minor dings and surface impressions consistent with light field use; the wood-to-metal fit remains tight. The bore is bright and clean with no visible pitting. The action appears to function smoothly and locks up correctly, though the firearm has not been test-fired.
