Model 12 value .

.....It's going to take a lot more rounds than that to wear out a Model 12! .... -Nick

No disagreement there ! Just my experience with one.

Still marvel at the story in Madis's book "The Winchester Model Twelve" about a shotgun taken off the line in 1914 and used for
ammunition testing ... documented at firing more than 1,247,000 in it's first 29 years of continuous daily testing, it had a firing
pin & spring renewed once, and it was still growing strong many years and firings later after WWII.
