Just had an auction here in Vermont and they had a slew of model 12s going quick to dealers in the $400 range. There are many 16s out there and you can have fun looking for a real good one at a good price. A very many of them are full choke.
Model 12 in 16 ga is a very sweet gun - and earns the title "The Perfect Repeater". The hand polishing throughout production really shows.
Passed on the family 16 to a nephew last month and will replace it soon. Have them in 12 and 20 ga. And the .410 (mod. 42) is the cats meow - earning the title "America's Sweetheart".
Good hunting.

I have not made a birmingham show yet. I am quite a bit south of them but I have been planning on checking them out. May be something in Montgomery. I am all the way on the south east side of al. close to columbus Goerga. The gun shows in columbus suck. Most of the dealers start way on the high side and don't even bother to negociate untill after they have had the gun for about a year. Their shows are nothing like the shows in louisville Ky or Portland Or.

I recently bought a Model 12 16 for $300. It was well used with no bluing remaining. I figure it was worth $300 to have a classic American shotgun in my collection . . . and in 16 gauge. Have still not shot it and plan on going to the clay range yet again this weekend with a Parker

Picked up a wonderful Model 12 16 gauge from a well respected PGCA member this year at the Southern. I needed one to go along with the 12 gauge. Now I need a 20....Damn this stuff never ends......

For all you collectors remember the operative word here is "Need".....

I was wondering when you were going to chime in. "Well respected"? I would'nt go that far, but thanks anyway. You ready to sell it back yet?

If you run out of model 12s to collect you could start on model 97s. There only made in 12s and 20s. There is no sond as soothinf as racking the slide on a 97. ( or terifying for that matter).

Model 97's were made in 12 and 16 gauge. No 20's--although a few 20 ga. conversions are around. They are not factory guns!
