I am looking for a Nickel Steel or Stainless Steel barrel Model 12 in 16 Ga. w/ 2 3/4 " chamber.
These were made circa 1927 - 1931 - give or take a little. |

I don't think Winchester ever made a Stainless Steel Barreled Model 12
And the Nickel Steel Barrel will have 2-9/16" chambers, unless someone opened it up.  |

Dave, they made a very few Nickle Steel Barrel 2 3/4 inch 16s, and even fewer with stainless steel barrels. The stainless barrels have sort of a paint on them. I have only seen two.
Long odds on finding one of these old guns but heck I thought I might try !
I need the gun to go with this front end assembly, I found. This front end left the factory and was shipped to one of the authorized Winchester gunsmiths for fitting to a gun, I believe . It is double proofed, see the oval with the "P" in it.
Not all gunsmiths serialized these when the fit it to a receiver. however by the looks of it it's never been fitted to a receiver, or used. It was made somewhere between 1927-1930.

How long are those barrels?
How much you want for that barrel assembly?
I've got a straight stocked receiver, those would look good on. |
