Winchester Model 12 Trap

draginfish
I saw a Winchester Model 12 Trap model at the gunshop today that caught my eye. It was made in 42 and is in pretty good condition with very nice wood. It also has an engraving scene on the reciever (ducks on one side and dogs flushing birds on the other)that is very similiar to the pigeon grade but i was told that it was not factory done. The choke has also been opened to modified. They are asking 650. I would like to purchase something that will hold its value if I decide to sell it. Does this sound like a good deal or is it not worth it because of all of the "aftermarket" modifications? Any input or info would be appreciated.

thanks
John

    I bought a Model 12 that is supposed to be a trap model. It is not marked trap. I found out that it was made in 1972. Does anyone know how to identify a trap model? Is the serial number put on the stock or forearm? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

    High strait comb stock or monte carlo with full choke = TRAP

    Hello draginfish: When Winchester reintroduced the Md 12 in 1972, (the "Y"s) the only way you could tell if you didn't have the box was the butt stock. As gunnut said the Trap version had a Monte Carlo butt Stock or a High comb straight stock. The Field version, had the typical stock drop, like the Skeet gun. They all came with the "Duck bill" receiver ramp, the Field, Skeet, Trap and Pigeon grades. Regards Dave
