I have my grandad's 1918 model 12 Winchester . He bought it new in 1919 with his first paycheck from the Southern Rail Road. $12 for the model 12 and a box of shells. It has the second barrel on it , a full choke that is shot out to a cylinder bore. Even though it's a little loose , it still shoots fine and throws a great pattern.


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
