This model 12 is a solid rib, black diamond, 20 gauge skeet gun, that was, I believe, made in 1947.  Like about all of them, it had a Cutts compensator added.  26" barrel.  Skeet choke tube. Bright bore. Slick smooth action.  I've had this gun for @35 years.  I shot some skeet & sporting clays with it and loved the gun, also shot quail with it and it was deadly.  Great patterns.  Has a walnut Boyd's stock on it.  Bluing is @85% The gunsmith who installed the cutts, removed the skeet choke designation on the barrel and touched the area up with cold blue. .  The original forend has some areas where the burl wood knots came out, along with some use marks, but is sound.
not much else to say about this classic old skeet gun.   I'm making some room in the safe by selling a few guns I no longer shoot.  I have a modified tube for it around here someplace but couldn't find it.  If I do, I'll send it to the buyer of the gun. I always used the skeet tube.  Takedown mechanism is tight as new. $500 firm. $55 insured priority shipping in the lower 48. Send email for more photos. Solid little model 12.

That sure seems reasonable. I wish I could shoot a model 12 but they just don't fit me.


I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

They fit me great, but i shoot my 28 ga mod 12 all the time now. I even set a record at a sporting clays range in CO years ago with this gun 46/50, though it had only been open 4 months. 😊
