I'll play 1916 Model 12, professionally shortened and refinished by another member here and bought on the EE when they sold off their collection. One of my absolute favourite firearms. One of the smoothest sturdiest feeling firearms I've ever held.

I don't know what vintage my M12 is but agree with Travis on all it's attributes...They don't make them like this anymore...Handy, dandy and deadly.

Wow!!. I cant imagen how rare that is!!. Im already drooling over it.

I've heard of the 2M model 12's less than 3000 (2900?) Where 28 gauge.

But head of stories of 16 and 20 gauge being rebarreled and action reworked to make 28 gauge versions.

 

[struff55]

the rarest 28 ga is a field gun

 

[reddog]

For sure 55 ,had a choice between the skeet one I have and a field grade. The field grade 28 just did not look right so I took the skeet .The guy that bought the field called me later and said there were a couple of dents in the lower shot tube we didn.t see and it would not cycle shells. Not a biggie but happy I went with the skeet.

This one has a real long family history of 5 generations and over 100 years. There is also an 1895 in 303 Brit that have been a set since the beginning. My great, great grandfather was an outfitter in central BC and those guns have see a lot of use. In his old house there still are 2 sets of deer feet hangers in the kitchen where the rifle and shotgun were kept to knock off whatever predator came around.
