remember the old song? "I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key?"
well, I got the front end to a 1955 16ga field gun in a rare 26" cyl, minus the corncob if anyone has a stock and complete receiver.
hate to see this unit go to waste and im tired of the wife saying ....when you going to get rid of all this junk!
any other junk collectors out there?
Bobski, holy smokes. I just got off of the phone with a cousin that was given a Winchester Model 12 in 16 gauge at the death of his wife’s grandpa. As it turns out when her grandpa was a boy he was using the gun, plugged the muzzle with mud or snow and blam....bulged, ruined barrel. It has been in that condition for many, many years. All the gun needs to be complete is a 16 gauge barrel.
Would love to communicate further with you about what you have.
PM me if this of interest.
Thank you,
300winnie
such is the good fate of the internet. pm incoming.
I got this complete front end to make my 16ga pigeon gun a 2 bbl set thru simmons. thus why there isn't a corn cob. they were going to make me a new b grade skeet stock. like everything else in life.....I never got around to it and I got old and lost interest.
now here it sits collecting dust.
Excellent! I’ll look for it.
still available.
Winnie, thanks for the consideration. I do want to thank you for boosting my ego, knowing it was rejected because it was too nice! :>
hey...tell him to just reblue his half to match mine! :>
I sent several pms about this
heard nothing
Are you looking to sell the front end?
I have a like-new 16ga bolt and complete trigger assembly, but no receiver.
There used to be a guy in Canada that parted out M12's....sold everything except the receivers on Ebay.
Currently have 2-16ga Mod12's, both are 28", one Mod and one Full.
Would like to have your front-end, just don't know how long I'd have to search for receiver.?.?.?
I still got my front end. anyone need it?
a 20ga receiver will work for a 16ga, btw.
I have a box of M12 parts for 16 and 20 ga. Barrels, receivers and internals if you wish to PM or email me
thank but no. I just want to get rid of my front end and call it quits. it was going to go on a high grade 2 bbl set. it never happened.....and age caught up with me.
had a nibble, but the hook didn't snag.
once again, I will post my intention.....its to find someone wanting my stuff to finish THEIR goal. I don't want your stuff. please, dont offer me your receivers and stuff. thanks.
I have a complete back half of an early model 12 to sell but it is 12 gauge otherwise we could have made 2 into 1.
and once again for clarification, im not parting out the parts. its all or none as a unit. the front end.
as pictured in the ad in the link.
Thanks to my own misjudgment I now have a rear half of a 12 ga M 12 , as well as two 20/16 ga receivers, bolts and one full front 1/2.
Will consider any reasonable offer to gain a gun, or let someone else gain
so, are you saying youll buy my 16ga front end kit to go on your receiver?
for those that cant see it on the link..............
