Winchester Model 12 Limited edition Grade I 20 GA 26" Pump Action Shotgun & Box

Our Assessment: What a gun! Winchester had discontinued the Model 12, but had limited production from Miroku in the early-mid '90s, making this a first opportunity for some and a last opportunity for many to get their hands on new production guns. This Grade I Model 12 is in Fine-plus condition with a great bore and strong mechanics. Chambered for 2 3/4" 20 gauge shells, its 26" barrel is choked Improved Cylinder and has a ventilated rib. The gun appears to have seen limited if any use in the field and should still make a great gun for smaller birds. It will also be a classy piece to challenge yourself on the Skeet fields and a nice addition to a Winchester shotgun collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
