    Can a winchester model 12 12 gauge 2 3/4" chamber be modified ( have chamber lenghtened) to shoot 3" shells
    The reason i ask is i own a model 12 roit gun (watts commemorative edition[:D]) which is in like new condition. I would like to purchase a extra barrel/ mag,forearm which i see a lot of on ebay. I would like to have a spare duck gun realize the new set up will have to be fitted .What i really wanted was a 12 heavy duck
    thanks rp

    Good morning riley: You are correct it was an on and off again improvement to the Md 12 that Winchester did. It first appeared in 1938. During the War they stopped it, and picked it back up after the war, then stopped it again in the early 50's.

    The reason some guns of the same vintage have it and some don't, is what ever carriers were in stock were used. Meaning when these were on the shelf they didn't separate them out.

    Regards Dave

    i had a 28ga m-12 that didnt have the wing and every shuck would shave a shell going into battery. i had a smith make a unusually high custom wing and attached it to the existing carrier and the problem was solved. it would appear that guns with the wing seem to feed better than those without.
