Sorry your mount was bad. My M12 was substandard also but East Taylor is the only guy building them. I was more concerned on the correct diameter for my barrel which was dead on. My unit had a run...

This is what a poster on machinegunboards said to my M12 build thread there. He says 2 3/8 inches from the stock toe [not including the buttplate]. I blued my shield as it came in the white....

124763124764Heres a pix of my unblued shield, the solid steel between the rows of holes was flatter [see where I’ve circled]. Using my homemade anvil I put a nice curve in it. And the finished...

I can’t tell you why there is a hole in the mag plug. Mine has no hole. But I will say that my east Taylor heat shield had flats between the rows of holes. Makes sense as the weaker steel [where the...

My two rebuilds have 18 groove pump handles, one [the riot] is from 1925 and the other [the trench] is from 1940.

I was always under the impression that M12 barrels were very difficult to change out and fit to another recvr but also required special Winchester tools and M12 parts to fit to a different recvr. I’m...

You only need enough extra spring to get that last single shell to feed reliably. Were not talking about a luger that you use a tool to load the magazine because of it’s heavy duty spring which is...

I shortened my M12 trench magazine in order to get rid of the takedown pin holes. I honestly don’t know how the real trench guns were done. Guessing they would pull the mag tubes from the line before...

The military guns were made from civilian guns so I’m sure the springs and tubes are the same length.

That’s weird the way it’s cut. While you have it apart put a 6 round kit in it. Just looked on eBay but didn’t see one. You might try GPC.

If there is 20 inches of barrel I would cut it there and install a mount. Also I don’t think the pump handle is correct for a riot gun. Go on over to the machinegunboards forum and scroll...

Built a M12 trench a few years ago. East Taylor makes a heat shield bayonet mount for the civilian sized barrel M12. There are a few other bits needed. Their heat shield needed a lot of extra work....
