I have recently fallen into a good deal but I'm not sure just how good it may be. I have the chance to purchase a Winchester Model 12 in 20ga for $50. Mechanically it's in great condition but it needs some TLC. The barrel's exterior is down to bare metal in places but the bore appears to be is good condition. According to the serial number it was manufactured in 1940. Any ideas what it may be worth?

  have a 20ga winchester model 12, sereal number puts it at being made in 1935, it has a 26in mod barrel but is also marked nickel steel, i did'nt think nickel steel barrels were made in 1935 but as usual i am probably wrong

  Hello Killhouse...
  
  It is worth a fair bit more than $50[:0][:p]. Realistically, it should bring at least $200 - $250 in the condition you describe.

  If its a field grade; wood is uncut and in decent shape, with a mod or more open choke barrel, maybe even $350 for a pre war 20ga in the condition you state...

  Excellent. I am probably going to pick it up and then sell it for a bit of a profit. (I'm more of a rifle/pistol kinda guy.) Thanks for the info.
  
  I'm new here but so far I like it.
  Tons of knowledge and maybe a little BS too. [:D]
