For you model 12 lovers
 

All 16's and 20's, some 30", some, target, some solid rib......wipe down day.

Looks like you like them too ! Like to know how you made them stand like that ???

A fine and very rare original M12 20 ga. Trap Grade, so marked, with solid rib and some other factory 'nickings' sold over the weekend at the Vintage Gunners Cup.

Wow tough to find!!! The 7th gun from the right with lighter wood is a 16 gauge 28" solid rib marked "Standard Trap" or "Model 12 Trap" (can't remember exact writing) on the magazine tube extension with the ultra rare "Imp. mod" stamped choke. Its condition is fair with refinished correct wood. I have 2 other small gauge trap marked model 12's in storage, a 20 ga 30" and another 16 ga in 28". My gun addiction started with model 12's and 42's. I always found myself selling the fine examples and keeping the guns with a few issues.

A commonly found gun collecting strategy. Does anyone have an explanation? Another common collecting strategy is "Buying high and selling low".

There is a fine line between a diamond in the rough and a money pit. Finding where the line is can take a lifetime.

I have a 16 gauge Model 12 that is a diamond in the rough for sure. One of these days, I am going to get a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge.

20 gauge Model 12 Trap
 

Hi Kevin; do you have any idea what the model 12 20 gauge traps sold for?

$3450 on the tag when I saw it.

Big money
 

Thank you Frank.

I believe I got this for my 12th birthday. It's a Super Field Grade, but the box label calls it a Super Grade. I always liked the wood on it.
