WORLD WAR II 1942 Manufactured in Ilion, New York
Here we present a C&R U.S. World War II Dated Winchester Model 12 Slide Action Riot Shotgun, manufactured circa 1942 in Ilion, New York. The Model 1912, or as it is more commonly known, the Model 12, was Winchester’s first slide-action hammerless shotgun. It was designed in 1911 by Winchester company engineer Thomas C. Johnson, utilizing a strong frame and a hidden hammer. It was officially introduced in 1912 and soon became a commercial success, with almost 2 million pieces made until production ceased in 1963. Besides many hunting and sporting guns in the Winchester model 12 shotgun lineup, from 1918 the company also produced two fighting versions, the Model 12 Riot gun and the Model 12 Trench gun, both being used in both world wars.
The chamber was made longer for the 2-3/4 inch shells in 1927, then later for 3 inch shells. This shotgun was available in many barrel lengths, all possible chokes, numerous gauges and 11 different models. The Model 12 is an internal-hammer, pump-action shotgun with an external tube magazine. It was popularly named the “Perfect Repeater”. It largely set the standard for pump action shotguns over its 51-year production lifespan from August 1912 until first discontinued by Winchester in 1963 with over 1,900,000 guns sold.
