This Winchester Model 12 pump-action shotgun, chambered in 20 gauge, features a 28″ full-choke barrel, half-length tube magazine, 14-groove forend, and smooth walnut butt stock
with the original checkered black butt plate. It has a classic blue finish, a silver bead front sight, and shows normal signs of use and wear
