I guess it does work.

Edit a post, click on attach image, then 'camera'. Take the photo, then click on the 'upload' button in the browser. Should work

Sweet! Post some pics up of that thing when you get it on there.
Mine is at 20" with open cylinder. Cut, flushed up and I drilled and tapped it for a brass bead sight myself.
Just bad ass. Too much fun to blow up pumpkins and jugs of tap water etc
I only keep one firearm in the bedroom for defense and it's the model 12 with heavy game load 2-3/4" shells.
Stored legally of course! But readily accessible.

Here is the 1918 made all original one I rebuilt/refinished (purists take note it was literally shot; broken parts, no finish, considerable surface rust, rear stock was split down the length etc):

Wow, not too shabby for a 100 year old gun!

A lot of work. Cheap/not much cost aside from the parts.
But stripping the steel and engine block heat cure job was long and painful.
Same with the stock stripping/repair/finish.

There is something awesome about getting a 100 year old shotgun running like brand new again and giving it a second chance at a long life of hard use

Don’t know how you did it, was that an iPhone? On mine I hit the picture thing, I brings up insert pictures but gives a url address line to fill in, no camera option. But I don’t pretend to be an I.T guy at all.... lol

I have a Model 1912 12ga. serial numbered to 1914. Still a good looking old shotgun.

I have pre 64 model 12's in 12,16, and 20 gauge along with a pre war pigeon grade in 95-98% condition. Some of the best shotguns ever made! There's no way I could ever sell mine.

Yeah, If for whatever reason I had to get rid of all my guns except one, I'd keep the M12.

i'm not a gunsmith but ive been around guns for nearly 50 years , i see no evidence of any refinishing , what makes you think that?

 

[tharkhold]

Well,

no going back now!

Dremel, tools to mod guns since 1932

 

[tharkhold]

Well that was easier than I thought it would be...

Almost as good looking as this, almost!

 

[tharkhold]

If anyone know (or has) a stock swivel mount, please send me a PM

 

[madtrapper143]

It looks like the new barrel (short) does not quite index up tight enough. It may need some draw sleeve adjustment.

Yeah i noticed that and wasnt sure how to adjust it.. I wouldn't have fired it with the gap though.

 

[tharkhold]

I think I adjusted it correctly. There's still a half millimeter gap, but the barrel locks on the receiver.

Also, looking for a M1917 bayonet, for zombie-mode gun

 

[madtrapper143]

If you have a gap between the chamber ring and the chamber you will have sticky extraction especially with the new style steel headed shot shells. (actually they have been around for a long time now)
