I have a pair of the A-5 3” and several barrels . Might add a model 12 3” even though I’m not a pump action person .

I dunno why but I bought the gun with this fellows name and Annapolis MD engraved on the side the reciever . It’s a Model 12 3” Super-X 30” with I think a Simmons ventilated rib attached . Gun looks to be in very decent condition .

I know that most if not all the Super-X Model 12’s were 30 or 32 inch . Any of you Model 12 aficionados ever heard of a Super-X leaving the factory with a 28” or even a 34” barrel ?

if the Winchester proof is on the top of the barrel and covered by the rib it is likely an aftermarket - Simmons being among the best and most common choices

if the proof mark is off center and still shows, it was factory done (still could be a Simmons, but done at the factory.

is it a 3"?

I’ve not had in hand yet . I’m Assuming Simmons is on the side the rib but could be wrong . And yes it’s a three inch .
