My favorite Model 12 memory was watching Dempsie kill six birds in six shots on the covey rise with his Model 12 --

Curse you all. Just when I decided to sell my 16 M12 you post this and I realize just how much I like the gun. I'm keeping mine and will probably hunt it this weekend. You all are bad influences.

That picture brings back memories. While working as a forester on Ft. Campbell there was an older guy that worked as a laborer on the forestry crew. I had been walk up hunting quail and I guess he felt bad for me as he invited me to hunt with him. On the appointed day I arrived to see him with a 20 ga. model 12 with the barrel sawed off just in front of the magazine tube, no blueing whatsoever, and not much finish on the stock. He had two of the roughest looking pointers I've ever seen. Well, so much for first impressions. Those two dogs knew the business of finding quail and were rock solid. The dogs soon had a covey pinned and when we walked in and the birds flushed all hell broke loose. I swear the old guy had 5 birds on the ground before I fired my first shot. His comment, "Boy, when they gets up you gotta shoot". I'll never forget that day and his model 12.

Model 12s still hold a special place in my heart. It was the gun that started my hunting and collecting interest. In fact, it was the first gun on the list to start out this years dove season.

Edgar,
Thank you but it doesn't even come close to the nice one that you have.
