Winchester Model 12 value, did I get lucky or ripped off

[Jakashh]

Went in to an EZ pawn to look around, saw the typical selection of rifles and shotguns on their shelf. Saw a model 12 and figured it'd be priced the usual $400-800+ I see them go for at gun shops, but I asked to look at it anyway just for the hell of it

It was $200

I bought it.

Serial number puts it at 1955 manufacture date if the website I checked is to be believed.

12 gauge, Modified fixed choke barrel, 28" length

Excuse my shitty pictures and dirty window sill, but I'm in a hurry and don't have time to take better pics.

Here it is next to another EZ pawn score from about a year ago, a Model 1200 Defender that I paid $250 for out the door

Nice catch looks good to me.

If it works and breaks down properly, you stole it.

Wonderful guns.

Google up "slam fire". You're a daisy if ya do.

 

[Jakashh]

I'm aware of slam fire, I wasn't aware that this gun is capable of it lol.

I bought it thinking I could probably make some money off of it, but if it doesn't sell within two weeks I definitely wouldn't mind keeping it lol.

That's a good deal. I love my model 12

I have a 1958 Model and I paid a little over $300 for mine in about the same condition a few years ago. GOOD SCORE!!!!!!!
YES you can hold the trigger and keep it firing every 'pump'. Same with my model 25.

I dumped a model 12 with 3 barrels years ago for cheap.

It did have the most beautiful bluing I have ever seen though.

Great shotgun and a great price. The Model 12 made a very popular "trench gun".

 

[Savage20]

they sell guns at pawn shops?

 

[motorcarman]

Private sales, online auctions and pawn shops are the only places I buy firearms. I don't buy new so there is no point in retail stores for me.

You own it so it won't work properly.

Gun's fault of course.

The Model 12 is a wonderful shotgun. Winchester made something like eleventymillion of them for over 50yrs.
Yours would be a great base gun for a Trench gun project.

That's because 1911s are inferior designs lol.

Nearly 2 million apparently. A trench gun would be nice, but I also need something for sporting clays.

It takes down just fine, but I did notice that there's a bit of slack in the mag tube even after you align the arrows and push the pin in. It still turns a bit after the arrows are aligned. Is that normal?
