Pre-Owned – Winchester Model 12 Pump 16Ga 28″ Shotgun

The Model 1912 was the next step from the Winchester Model 1897 hammer-fired shotgun, which in turn had evolved from the earlier Winchester Model 1893 shotgun. The Model 12 was designed by Winchester engineer T.C. Johnson, and was based in part on the M1893/97 design by John M. Browning, in that it used a sliding forearm or “pump action” to cycle the mechanism. It was initially available in 20 gauge only (12 and 16 gauge guns were not sold until late 1913). The Model 12 was a very successful internal hammer pump-action shotgun. This item DOES NOT COME WITH A CASE. Overall condition is great with some markings by the grip as pictured.
