Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Model 12 heavy duck 3" price check

Local shop has a Winchester model 12 3" heavy duck. Probably 90% if I were to guess. Original buttpad , solid rib 30" full choke. Didn't check the serial number for year made . They're asking $600 but i can probably get it for $500-550. I have a small collection of model 12s and always wanted a 3" . Is it worth it? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a nice gun, that is right in the range, I haven't seen anything of good condition for less than that.

Make sure it is not redone, but that sounds like a fair price.

I sold an identical Model 12 Heavy Duck Gun, sounds like in the same condition...on Gunbroker...within the last 60 days...it brought a final sale price of $495 before G/B took the listing and sale fees...and Buyer paid $30 insurance & shipping...from TX to NC...So $450-$500 should be just about exactly what it is worth.

I’ve got a few model 12’s they just don’t seem to bring what they did a few years ago.l saw one bring 750 if it sold for asking locally l was eying it myself 3” by any chance do you know where you could find a stock for a featherweight

When I get time I have a model 12 trap gun with factory rib and nice wood. I was going to try $750 and I think a heavy duck would be in the same ballpark.

Not to far down the road from you in SW Va.
Have purchased two at auction around here in the last two years.
Both all original , 575.00 and 535.00 respectively...

I would jump on it for that price !
I think the last time I check Gun Broker completed auctions the were averaging $800.00.

No sir i don't. There's always a few stocks on Ebay but not sure if its any featherweight

Thanks for all the replies. I'll probably go ahead and pick it up.

I have 2 heavy ducks. One has the solid rib and one is plain barrel.
They are great shotguns but no steel shot gets near mine.
If you can get it for around $500 I don't think you would ever be sorry.

Yeah it definitely wouldn't be any steel shot ran through it. I rarely waterfowl hunt , just kind of want it. Might kill a spring gobbler with it .
