[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4216948, member: 5412"] I have a 1928 model 12 Win in 12 ga. Given to me by a coworker because it wouldn’t lock up when pumped. Plus the buttstock was broken and it was in general disrepair. I teamed up with an old member, Honeybee that has since passed away to get it back into a functioning firearm. He did the rust blueing that was used at that time, and I did the wood with a new buttstock from Missouri stocks. 20 some layers of Birchwood Casey after sanding with 1000 grit paper. It’s beautiful and I did a full report of the restoration on this forum if one wants to research. The model 12 went into obsolescence because each part was machined and fitted. When mass production methods and MIM parts were starting to be produced, the era of the model 12 ended. I’ve shot thousand of rounds from mine in backyard clay shoots. Functions 100%. As has been mentioned, no steel shot. [/QUOTE]
