    Win Mod12 Trench Gun Conversion

    I posted a previous thread about converting my original WWII Model 97 Riot to Trench Gun but decided against it in order to conserve it's original history. Since then I acquired an E series Model 12 mfd 1946 with original "CYL" bore that could make an ideal candidate for a conversion but unfortunately it has a Cutts Compensator. Not only that but the gun is in much better original condition than expected which again gives me pause about modifying another nice old gun.

    Another issue is finding a quality repro bayonet adapter that's been difficult. Photos are provided in order to encourage comment.

    Not sure if the compensator is factory or added later.

    Photos included to encourage for comment.

    Thanks

    edit: barrel measures 28" with compensator
