So do you unscrew those two little screws one sees in the face of that ring inside the breech to draw it forward to tighten the barrel in the gun? I have never tried that. I just let them be and dropped in the shim which worked fine. The 1923 Model 12, which has seen a lot of use, is now tight as a drum.

A 1952 Model 12 20 gauge should still be in the first notch of the takeup feature and still be tight. A 1952 20 gauge Model 12 will have a 2 3/4" chamber. Great guns.
