Is there an easy way to adjust the Barrel on a M-12 Win.?
WINCHESTER makes 6 with numbers adjusting sleves, is it by trail and errow to get the right one? or is there a known way.

  "NOW TO FIND ONE OF THOSE TOOLS?"..............hop in your 'way-back' machine and buy one from Winchester (about 1959 should do it) ;-). tooling for many of the old guns has been out of production for 1/2 a century. you can watch e-barf or check out some of the older gun shops/ gunsmiths. as to the barrel adjustinf sleaves... it is trial and error. Simmons Gun Smithing may have parts as they bought most of winchesters stock of parts in the 1980's

  I did Learn how to hold the Barrel so you could Remove the extinion
  I have a Barrel vise with OAK WOOD BUSHING.
  I cut a 2x4" OAK pice then drilled My hole just a tight fit on the Barrel, Then cut 2 cuts down the middle, giving me about 1/8" gap to tighten down oh,
  on ea side of the hole I sprinkled Pine Rosin,then Tighten it down
  No way is it going to turn now, as I do what ever I want with it.
  I can Turn the Barrel extinion all that I want with a 24" Creston wrench.and a square adapter on the extinion
  
  PROBLEM SOLVED
  Thank the LORD.
