Good ol' duck guns from the past, what's yours?

Postby R. Chapman » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:16 pm

I own some nice shotguns as I'm sure a lot of you other guys do. I have an old Winchester model 1912, made in 1916. I redid the whole complete gun, building the new stock, replacing parts with better quality, re-bluing etc. It handles like a dream because of that old corncob forend that causes the that gun to sit lower in the hand. Makes it a nice and very firm pointed gun, post pics of your own old boys duck hammer.

I used to hunt with Winchester Model 12's and shoot trap with them. At one time I had 12 mod 12's and 4 mod 42, all with ribs and good wood. Alas, along came steel shot and I sold or traded all of them.

Holy shit! I have only one other model 12, and it's an old 20 gauge with a 28" barrel with a fixed full choke, but what sets it apart from others is the fact that it has a solid rib.

I think I know where a couple of high grade Model 12 trap guns are in California.

Here's my model 12 "heavy duck" 3" 12gauge. I had the forcing cone lengthened and screw in chokes put in it. Started as a youth shooting a 20 gauge model12 that was my grandma's gun.

Some guy brought in a whole collection of solid rib duck guns to the local consignment shop and put them all up for $300. Soukd have gotten one before the all we're taken. All were in well over 94% condition.

Not as old as the one you have there, but the shop had one for $200. Should have bought when I had the chance, but of course I thought it was too expensive for some lousy POS! ;)

I've got a couple of 1100s, 60-70s. Really good guns in literally new condition.

Why did you want me to go buy an old 1100 for if you got several? Box one of those bad boys up and ship it over with my super ammunition.
