You got a 58-year-old shotgun that will last another 58 years for only $250?!? That's simply outstanding, period.

Around here, I haven't seen a Model 12 factory riot gun sell for that price since the early 90s. I bought one in 1990-something for $300 and thought I got a bargain. I actually did get a bargain, because I couldn't buy one like that around here for twice that price...and that's if I could find one.

There's one for sale now at an LGS for $850...and the serial numbers don't even match! And as far as I can tell, it's the only one in town for sale.

I'm a big Model 12 fan. My thinking is that they weren't called "The Perfect Repeater" for nothing.
