I have a Winchester Model12 that is U.S. flaming bomb marked and in the riot configuration. It has a 20" barrel with cyl bore, matching serial numbers 989620. This was passed down to me by my father who got it from his father that maybe bought it in an auction about 50 years ago. When my dad got it it had the sling swivels on it, he did not like them and cut them off with a grinder. I was looking around today trying to find a replacement set of swivels and a sling but read many posts saying the model 12 riot didn't come with sling swivels. This one has the attachment in the stock which is marked WB plus another military mark and original. The front barrel band clamps onto the barrel, hold the mag tube and has a place for a swivel. I always thought that this was a riot original and complete just like when it was in service, just with the sling cut off. Can anybody chime in with any other specifics that may shed some light on the origins of this gun. Also what is my best bet for picking up replacement swivels. Thanks!
Hopefully my pics show up.
