I picked up a Remington 12 today for a great price. It needs work and is going to be my next project. My question is which 12 is it? It has a 24 inch Hex. barrel, the last pat. date is Apr. 16, 1912. It has a metal butt plate and has a good curve to it(old shotgun style). The serial #is 20 50Xx. Any ideals? Whats the collector value also? granted this depends on condition. just wanting an idea.

  12A, 22" Round barrel
  12B, 22" Round barrel, (22 Short only)
  12C, 24" Octagon barrel
  12CS, 24" Octagon barrel, chambered for the 22Rem Spl / 22WRF
  
  You can eliminate the first 2 quickly, and look for the chambering designation to eliminate the last choice.

  Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

  Thanks tailgunner, looks like it's a 12C. I thought the B was octagonal also.

  12b does have an oct. barrel. It was known as the gallery speacial, and will be marked that way on the left side of the receiver.
