Manufactured in 1917, this Model 1912 carries the early "Model 1912" rollmark used before 1919 and shows matching serial numbers on the receiver and barrel extension. It is built in the takedown configuration, consistent with period production, and marked for Nickel Steel on the barrel.
The 28 inch plain barrel is fitted with a Modified choke and a single brass-bead front sight. This setup reflects a versatile field configuration while staying true to the model’s classic design.
The action is the Model 1912’s proven pump-action with an internal hammer. It features right-side ejection, bottom loading, and a tubular magazine with a 5+1 capacity.
Furniture includes an uncheckered walnut pistol-grip stock and a corncob-style grooved walnut fore-end. A ventilated recoil pad with a black spacer has been installed, bringing the length of pull to 14.5 inches.
Made in the USA, this full-size Model 1912 combines early-production markings, correct barrel steel and choke, and matching-number components in a classic takedown package.
