Model 12

I hate to say this but Larry Porterfield (Midway USA) made a video on tightening up the barrel on Winchester shotguns.

Russ a right handed safty should be easily obtained from just about any of the gun catalogs like Midway, Brownells etc. If not I think I might have one.

While I am a huge fan of the Win Mod 12, and I have five of them, I am not an expert on the gun. I have taken one down a few times and have spent many hours trying to put them back together. Simply stated - they are not easy.

After having messed with the guns for hours on end, and taking my time, I conclude that an easier gun to field strip and reassemble just might be a better gun. Consider the Rem 870 and Ithaca Mod 37.

All that aside, I like the Mod 12. I like the machined receivers and when they work they work well. But darn it all, the Ithaca mod 37 works better and the Rem 870 is not far behind!
