You, Sir, just brought back a bunch of memories. In the 60's by Dad's friend said he could get my Dad's 16 ga, Model 12, hot blued for him. My dad broke the gun down into the stock-receiver and barrel groups and gave it to his friend. Said friend brought the gun back all shinny blued and every dang part separated in a paper bag. Talk about a puzzle! Took about 5 long nights to get it back together; just one "extra" part when we got done. If I remember right, it was the little flat spring that goes between the magazine tube and the barrel. Had to go see a local gunsmith to find out where that spring belonged - I think it was a hard blow to my dad's ego. Thanks for all your great videos!

Mark, I just came across your video, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work. I have a covey of Model 12's from every decade. I have a 1947 M12 in 12 ga that I've been hunting with for over 50 years and I have to replace the mag tube. Your video has greatly enhanced my understanding of my weapons and without a doubt will prevent me from breaking things. I hunt a lot of birds, and the only other mechanical issue I've had is having to replace extractors about four years ago after thousands of roosters, huns, and sharptails. The M12's are truly great and reliable shotguns. Thank you for your excellent work!

With a bit of practice, you can get to the point of being able to empty the magazine through it in about 2 seconds, into a 4'x4' area at around 20-30 yards. Fun!

Thank you, Mark, for this video. Years ago, my father gifted me his 16 gauge Model 1912, which was made between 1912 and 1920 when the "19" was dropped from the model designation. He told me that he had a gunsmith open the ejection port a bit to ease the process of clearing the chamber after firing. It ran great until the newfangled plastic shells took over the marketplace. I got by for a few years using paper shells branded "Polski Pawam." When that supply dried up, I did the easy thing and bought a 12 gauge side by side. Now, I'm retired and self-quarantined and I had a little spare time so I went as far as I could in assessing the problem and cleaning it up. The model 12, especially in 16 gauge, is an elegant shotgun even with the honest wear that Pop and I gave it over its lifetime. I dismantled to the limits of my ability and removed the old (really old) oil that had gummed up inside, spritzed the fire control unit and reassembled. I'm hopeful but my local range is closed and I haven''t been able to do a live fire test. Soon, I hope! I always enjoy your videos, but this one was more personal than most. I appreciate your work!

I absolutely love my 1951 16 gauge model 12. It is the first gun I bought for myself after I turned 18. Mine had a the magazine tube deformed at the back end were it threads into the receiver, causing the rims to get stuck and causing malfunctions. I was able to fix it by turning a tapered aluminum mandrel and driving it through the dented end. It also had a rough firing pin, occasionally causing pierced primers. That was fixed with a little TLC and a stone. The next fix on my list is replacing the hacked up stock with one that fits me properly. It is hard to describe how amazing these old guns feel. EVERYTHING is machined hand fitted on them and they balance very well. Absolutely no stamped parts anywhere. If you can find a decent shooter for around the same price as a new pump gun I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up. Nothing made today compares.

Just got my old model 12 back from the gunsmith. The barrel wouldn't fit snugly and there was no more adjustment left to tighten it. Not sure what the gunsmith did to make it lock up correctly, but it works great now. The receiver on mine was made in 1923 and the barrel was was made in 1942. I bought it completely disassembled in a basket of junk in 1983 at a garage sale in Oklahoma for $5. Didn't even know the gun was in there with the rest of the junk until I got home.. The parts were all there except for the ejector, shell stop, butt plate and stock screw. Replacement parts were easily obtained and the gun was reassembled. It looks like a real beater because almost all of the bluing is long gone and the stock is beat up, but it shoots straight and functions perfectly. It has a very tight fixed full choke in a 31" nickel steel barrel. I use it mostly at the local turkey shoots in the fall and it has served me very well. Occasionally it accompanies me and the Browning 725 to the local gun range for a few rounds of trap. There's something special about a gun that was discarded and written off for junk and then brought back to life by your own hands.. It's one of my most prized shotguns and I'll hand it down to my son when the time comes.

Model 12 super fan since 1972. Best pump shotgun ever made bar none.! The only Achilles Heel is the forend extension that contacts the bolt to lift it up. Nobody seems to know it should be greased judging by soooooo many extensions that are prematurly worn. Its also a bearcat to fix. I myself am guilty of improper lube for many years after getting my first one. Notice I say grease and not oil. Oil will not stay on the vertical surfaces very long so grease is needed. Other than that they are pretty much bulletproof UNLESS you get Bubba "fixing" to mess up stuff. My best purchase deals on M12's were caused by Bubba screwing stuff up, stuff that I could easily fix.

I have done all of this on my Grandads 1930 Winchester Mod. 12. It worked but was in rough shape. I asked my Dad if "we" could clean it up, redo the stock etc. He told me that when the gun is mine "someday" I can do what ever I am capable of doing. He had the same Brownells book and I showed him the section for the gun. He was impressed and we did the reconditioning together. Years latter for his 60th birthday I engraved his initials in the right side of the stock in woodshop at school, and my shop teacher found me some abalone and I inlaid the initials. On his birthday I handed it to him expecting praise and gratitude... what I got was a wallop to my noggin. LOL I still have the shotgun, but unfortunately my oldest son tried to use "cracker' shells in it and the barrel got a bulge about 3 inches forward of the mag tube... I didn't clout him, but I wanted to! It still shoots birdshot well but it is ugly. Those barrels are hard to find. Thanks for the fond memories!

I have an old 1960 edition and one that is somewhere in the same era (can't really tell cause there are some missing pages) of your Brownells books and I have smeared oil and fingerprints all over both of them. But you can't find better diagrams. I really enjoyed your review of this old Model 12. I have my Grandfather's model 12 in 20guage and since he was a small man he used a youth model. Even so it has been completely refurbished and conserved. My Dad did the conservation before he died and I did the refurbishment. That was one of the most difficult shotguns for me I have to admit. It was my first model 12 to work on and I bet I had to take that damned gun apart at least 5 times before I got all of the new parts to fit right. But it runs like a brand new gun now. It will be passed to one of my grandchildren. Thanks, it is an honor for me to learn from you all the time. Even though I have been working on guns for a long time I don't have the knowledge that you have, but I did it part time when I was not working another full time job for the 40+ years. I'm 67 now and still like to work on them. Working on a Winchester Model 73 now in 32/20 caliber trying to refurb it and make it what it use to be or as close to what it was.

I just purchased a 1921 M12, I did the same as your video and it works fine. I walked point in Vietnam with a M37 Ithaca and it also would slam fire as a M12. I found it very useful. I will add something that I have been doing for years on removing stocks. I once saw a cracked stock on a very costly O/U due to the owner using a large screwdriver and getting the screwdriver wedged next to the screw and thought it was really tight put the muscle to it. I have used a short piece of 1/2" EMT tubing down the stock to help guard against that.

Out of all of the wonderful information I got out of this I think my favorite part was how the magazine tube assembly goes back together. I have an 1897 Winchester and it uses a similar mechanism. It's nice to see what is actually going on inside those little tiny bits.

@@marknovak8255 lol. Well thankfully the missing screw was found. Not sure if you could actually see it or used braille or the force to reassemble it but I was able to barely see the microscopic details. Take care, Mark.

Thank you for the stock and forend work. Very few seem to want to show that. I have a J.C. Higgins with Walnut same colors for both your parts where the stock is darker than the forend. Just FYI in a Higgins parts catalogue the forend is called a “forhand operating handle” - The stock broke at the front into multiple pieces. I think because of the way it was made with a concave front end and two part bolt with a convex end which put pressure on the wood to spread it out and cause failure. But that’s just my opinion as I can’t find anyone talking about it. For some reason they changed it to a flat front. Anyway, sanded the stock, epoxied it, oiled it. Looks great but the color is a little darker than I want. It looks the same as when I got it but the color shade is still darker than the forhand . (Trying to make the word comeback. Trying to decide how to lighten it but letting it sit for a bit and normalize..

I picked up a model 12 from 1919 recently. It has some wear and the blue has a few thin spots but it's immaculate for a 101 year old. It has a 28" solid ribbed barrel and it breaks down. The old blued guns have a look and feel that casts a spell. The 12 is an iconic firearm to hold one is to understand where all pumps shotguns came from. When I show people that it breaks down they all say WHOA!!

Mark I was watching one of your videos when you added some music that l believe came from the eara of the silent movies. Then it showed you playing that number on the piano. I don't know the name but l can tell you it was a GREAT blast from the past. I wish l could hear it more often. Thanks for playing it!!!
