The Winchester Model 1912 became an instant hit on its
introduction. Based on an earlier John Browning design it was refined and
finalized by Winchesters in house designer T.C. Johnson. The shotgun utilized a
sliding forearm or 'pump action' to cycle the mechanism, this action combined
with Winchesters craftmanship produced a gun that was both smooth and quick to
operate earning the epithet of "the perfect repeater", initially
offered in 20ga followed by 16, 12 and 28ga. This Model 12 is made under the
auspices of Browning by Miroku of Japan, a company well respected for their
quality firearm production. Little needs to be said about the Browning Citori
that is not evident in the gun itself, Each Citori is precisely engineered and
of the utmost quality, they are built in Japan using state of the art
machinery, all are hand fitted and finished. This example manufactured in 1989
and serial numbered 03571PN832 shows 99% original factory finishes with just a
few handling marks. Internally the barrel exhibits a mirrored bore, 2 3/4"
chambers and is choked Mod. Externally the 26”-barrel sports a raised vented
rib ideal for quick target acquisition.
The furniture is European Black Walnut and is prettier than that found
on most Grade 1 guns and features nice grain, some fiddleback and hand cut
checkering, there is some field wear on the toe. This 20ga Browning Model 12 is a neat pump shotgun, weighing 6lbs
13oz and holding five shells it’s easy to carry all day upland hunting and it
is just at home on the sporting fields. Thanks for looking!
