Just won one off GB. 28" modified made in 1961. Should go well with my '58 heavy duck. Time to order some bismuth for it and the new fox. |

Picked it up just now and got it cleaned and oiled up. She is slick. |

take your gun and get an empty case - say a Winchester . Just cycle the gun and see if the case ejects OK . Even the later M12's are just adequate enough in the window clearance to always work . The Winnie should be a full 70MM which is just slightly longer than 23/4 . If it comes out easy , good to go ! If it catches , usually a good hard pump will shoot it out . At least you'll know ahead of time if there COULD be a problem . That's usually about it for a well kept M12 . I usually trim all my cases just slightly and no worries ever . |

Finally got to test her out today with some 1oz estate 8's. Functioned flawlessly. However, it seems mighty tight to be a modified |
