I have always heard of the classic Winchester model 12 shotgun, but I haven't heard very much about the model 1200.<BR>My father gave me his mod. 1200 when he got a new 11-87, and I don't really know how it stacks up to the mod 12. In a recent mag article about pumpguns, they talked about the 12 and the 1300, but skipped over the 1200. Were these transition guns between models? Are the hand fitted like the 12's? If anybody has a serial # index, it would be helpful also to know how old my gun is. The serial # is L795XXX. I really like the gun and won't part with it, I was just curious as to how they stacked up against the others.<BR>Any information would be greatly appreciated...
