As I sit here doing a long overdue cleaning of my Winchester Model 12 featherweight, and working the slide as fast as I can, thanks to the two new screws located through this forum (thanks SO MUCH!) Anyone have any cleaning tips? Recommendations on how often you should completely strip it down to give it a complete cleaning? Still, as I work I can't help but wonder what is different between mine and other model 12s especially the "new" ones.
One reason I can work the slide so fast is because it fires if I hold the trigger down.
I've been told that is one of the main differences between the "old model 12" and the new one. Why wouldn't the new ones have that feature, I love, although it did take a ton of rounds to be able to hold it on target, but it's faster than my 1100. What makes mine a "featherweight? If there's any lore or tips you know about Model 12s I'd love to hear them.
