Where to Find a Winchester Model 12 ,12 Gauge Magazine Tube

Nothing we kept or I did
I sold all my model 12 parts to a guy on the EE a couple of years back. There was one tube in that box
I would try a EE listing in case he still has it and I would bet he does
Happy Holidays
 
I've had good luck with https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/winchester/shotguns-win/12-win

A US company. Certain parts cannot be shipped to Canada, but most parts come across without any issues. I bought a mag tube for a Winchester 1897 from them. It was a reproduction part, not used. It worked well, needed a bit of tweaking, but to be honest the 1897 had been beat up rather severely in its former life. I've used them as a source for parts several times, I've never been disappointed. I've bought mag tubes, firing pins, mag tube springs, screws and such.

I use the Numrich (Gunpartscorp) sight to determine selling price for parts if I have any. I usually sell for the U$D price in CAD. That's about a 25% discount IMHO.

I don't know what the damage was on your mag tube, but oft times damage can be repaired, or worked around.

It would have been helpful if you'd have posted a few pictures. Like most "enthusiasts" that have been in the game for a few decades we all have "stuff" in out tickle trunks, I believe the two tubes on the left are Model 12. They came in a package deal from a smith that retired. I bought a poop tonne of parts, most were 1897 with a smattering of model 12.

Have tried to repair the tube I have,but no luck in getting it to take down as it should.For some reason ,at some point in its life ,someone used a pipe wrench or vise grips on it ,that did not do it any good.:( The gun is in great condition, so I would like to get an original part in nice condition for the gun.

Checked Numrich they had reproduction Model 12 12 gauge tubes,but no original ones in stock.Will try another PM to struff55 later today.
 
I would suggest when dealing with WGP, use the phone, rather than emails.
Also try K & E Gunparts, at 306 244 2023 in Saskatoon

Heard from struff55.Only has one and it is about 40 % with a sin number etched on it.Not quite what I want.An e mail from WGP said they were behind in answering to their e mails.

E mail sent to K and E.
 
You could be right 3macs,but it will be a last resort.:)No hurry ,so I can abide my time till I find what I want.:)

If the covid was not around and a fellow could get to a few gun shows, I am pretty sure I could scrounge one up.:)

I would be shocked if you did
Like I said not something we kept and any we did remove normally screwed them up some how and replaced with new at least that was my experience with them
Who would know it is repo christ most would not remember a model 12 at our age LOL
