Whats this win m12 worth

Ported chokes are debated ... but I don't think they are worth the extra money for most shooters.

I would just stay with standard chokes - made by Browning or Briley for your gun ...and no, they are not cheap ....but the good thing is -- if you add more Brownings to your collection, and they are all Invector Chokes, in the same gague, they will fit more than one gun ( and it won't matter if they are semi-auto, pump or Over Unders ).

Chokes are specific to most mfg's guns / they are not interchangeable between guns like Remington, Mossberg, Browning, etc ...
 
Grabbed flush-mount Mod, and IC factory Browning chokes. At this place called Rays hardware near downtown Dallas, pretty cool place. The combination of these two chokes cover me for modified in steel or lead, full in steel and IC in lead. Also got a browning choke wrench, and a pair of Peltor shotgunners ear muffs all for $100.

Went to the range today and tried out the new gun for the first time. Went to Elm fork here in Dallas. http://www.elmfork.com That place was really cool. 460 acres of shooting ranges. People there were helpful and laid back. They set me up on a beginners trap. It was 104 degrees out there today. The gun was great, I shot 4 different brands of ammo out of it, and tried my modified, and improved cylinder chokes. I didn't get to pattern the gun because they were having a competition. I sucked at hitting the clays but got better towards the end when I started jumping on them sooner. I shot at 90 clays. My front arm was getting tired towards the end. Figured out the gun needs to be cleaned and oiled. It didn't want to let go of a spent cartridge once. The guys working there oiled it up a little. Thanks for all the advice and help. Later -
 
But there are still a lot of the standard model 12's around / in original condition - especially in 12ga. In 28ga and .410 they will go up in a value a lot ...because a lot of guys my age had them when they were kids

The model 12 was never made in .410
 
You're right, I mis-spoke .....the .410 win pump was a model 42 .......( my mistake, and I know better ) ...

( I think of them all as model 12's ) / because to me at least they look the same ... sorry ...
 
Learn how to strip the gun down / remove the trigger group, bolt, etc ...and clean and lube it very well. There are a couple of tricks on taking it down and getting it back together - but its really easy to do ....and after you've done it 2 or 3 times you can do it in your sleep in less than 10 min ....( there is a lot of junk that builds up inside the action / if the previous owner didn't strip that down and clean it regularly ). I'd recommend you do it every time you shoot it.

Practice your gun mount at home too .....with a new gun / it takes a little time to "groove it". Look at a light switch / close your eyes / mount the gun - then open your eyes again - and you need to be looking at the switch. Do that about 30 times an evening ( with an unloaded gun of course )... It'll pay off big time / in improving your scores ...

but pattern that gun too / so you know if you need to modify the comb a little so the gun fits you.
