Introduction Year: 1973 Year Discontinued: 1984 Total Production: Approximately 42,000 Designer/Inventor: John Lindy and staff Action Type: Break action Caliber/Gauge: 12 gauge Serial Number Blocks: 4,200 48,000. Great shotgun with a great piece of history attached to it. The 2 marks on the stock are from the antlers and they tell a story better than any words I can type could. Well, not having time to ready the shotgun to shoot it again, grandad grabbed it by the barrel and walloped the buck right across the head, sending it down again. He walked up to the deer which looked dead and all of a sudden it jumped up and started coming right at him. ![]() My grandfather (dad's dad) shot a nice buck with the shotgun one day using slugs I assume. There are 2 nice dents in the side of the buttstock that I wouldn't repair for a million dollars, because they have a nice story connected to them. When I work the action it has a nice metallic ring that can no longer be found in modern shotguns. It will roll a squirrel out of a TALL tree when other shotguns in the group will barely reach. It's a wonderful shotgun by the way and I have many years of great memories connected with it. The Date also seems to fit with the anecdotal evidence that goes along with the shotgun. Now that you mention it, the R does seem to be spaced a bit farther from the other 2 leters, indicating that it was probably stamped at a different time than the first 2. 22 rimfire rifle was made in 1915 or 2015 standard velocity will give you a better chance of doing that.Excellent information, that was exactly what I was looking for. Silly me, I always thought the point of shooting was to hit your target, and whether your. Using standard velocity ammunition in your Model 12. So think about it, you get far less barrel wear, and far better accuracy by What was even more impressive were the amount of flyers (shots well out of the normal grouping, one box of Super-X had four rounds out of a box of 50 that were almost out of the scoring area on the target or about 1.5" from Small bore 50' target (imagine what they would be like at 50 yards). Less than 40% made the 10-Ring ring on a conventional Horrific when compared to standard/match velocity ammunition and Then came the tests with the high velocity stuff, the accuracy was Standard velocity and match grade ammunition performed as you might expect blowing the ten ring out of the targets.some of course were better than others like Eley Red box or Western Super Match. My Anschutz 1413 Super Match 54 rifle made in 1970. Some years back a gun writer friend of mine wanted to do some group My background was smallbore rifle position competition shooting, no high velocity stuff there unless you were a total dummy wanting to prove how badly you could lose. If you are truly ignorant and wish to ignore that advice let us talk accuracy, high velocity sucks when it comes to overall accuracy. Using high velocity in any older rimfire rifles simply lacks judgement! The metal used on the barrels of these old rifles was the best available at the time but not anything compared to what we have today or as John observed, not the quality of the later versions, those being the Model 121 & 141. My favorite comparison is make note that when the Model 12 and 14 were introduced the Titanic was still afloat. Have to think in terms of 1912 technology. Model 14/141 and for years I have been telling owners of these that you When it comes to Remington rifles most of my expertise involves the I fight with myself when it comes to making comments to a post I didn't initiate but John made a statement "I'll give me usual warning about notįiring high velocity ammunition in a Model 12" that I wish to comment on. ![]()
