PP/Varmint gun
I have been wanting a short barrel shotgun that I could leave out and not worry too much if I lost it. I was thinking a coach gun or an old pump shot gun. I found this old Winchester model 12 at Tulsa last fall. It had very little finish left and had a poly choke. Perfect. I had the barrel cut, crowned and a bead installed. I then gave it a rubdown with Oxpho creme blue. I think it came out pretty well. The gun functioned well and the wood was good.
Top model 12 is my old Army riot gun I got when I was 14.

Yupp, the model 12 is what all of the other pump guns aspire to be. Some come close, but no cigar! Bob

I disagree. Yhe Ithaca 37 is the greatest. Drops the empties at your feet instead of slinging them into the brush.

Very nice, Sir.
I have a collection of Riot Pumps. Some "flaming bombs."

I keep my A-5 with a 20 inch barrelled poly choke under the back seat of my F-150 with 100 rounds of assorted ammo.

First gun I ever bought was an Ithaca 37....Best pump gun ever for a lefthanded individual in my humble opinion...
Never owned a Model 12.....but they sure are pretty
