Lots and lots of Mdl 12's out there (2million plus were made). Field grades in 12ga in decent shape go for $2-400.00.

Watch that 28ga! There's more imitation "build up" 28ga's for sale than total original 28ga's made. Guys take the 20ga's, re-built the receiver and barrel and re-stamp with Winchester trade marks (yes, they even sold those after 1964) and market them as Mdl 12 - 28ga's. I have a buddy who has a bunch of them. Also, watchout for "pigeon grade" guns..again the dies and mark dies were sold and people "build up" the pigeon grade guns from standard grade guns.

Just take a good look and stay away from most dealers. Buying from "old timers" is the way to know what you are really getting.
