I walked into my LGS and there she was...a Winchester Model 12 Police shotgun.
We did a serial # search and found mine was made in 1921. It's in great condition but has a crack in the stock right against the receiver. All in all, I am quite pleased. More pictures to follow once I get some more time and light.
Re: My new acquisition...
2Congrats!
That's the first gun I ever shot clay with. I bought two (non police) a few years ago, one for me and one to replace the police model that my friend taught me with, which had since been stolen. I remembered it so fondly that I couldn't stand for him to be without one. The look on his face made that the best $200 I ever spent.

3Nice. I like my Ithaca 37's better but there's nothing wrong with the Winchester 12 Bust some clay!M4Builder wrote:I walked into my LGS and there she was...a Winchester Model 12 Police shotgun.

5Thanks guys! This is my first pump shotgun.
All problems can be solved with a copious amount of high explosives.

6I plan to join that club soon, myself (assuming we don't see changed to the NFA) There's just an elegance to the classic old trench guns that you don't see anywhere else. Again, well done on your new purchase!M4Builder wrote:Thanks guys! This is my first pump shotgun.
