Model 12 Winchester help

**DaveHH** · 07-13-2014 07:09 PM

I bought a good book at the flea market today "The American Shotgun" by David Butler. Reading about the Model 12, I got the impression that guns with solid ribs were trap guns. My question: I have a 1934 model 12, 12ga full choke with a solid rib with two sight beads. The wood is field style. I've had it for years and it is the best shooting shotgun I've ever owned. Are the solid rib guns really trap models or are they just another option? Thanks for any help.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It could be either or. Back in Winchesters heyday a customer could get a gun made however they wanted it. Even if there was a part or option Winchester didn't normally offer just send them a drawing and they'd make it.
