    I removed this forearm from my 16 gauge Winchester Model 12. I believe it will also fit a 12 gauge. It is in excellent condition. The checkering pattern reveals this is a pigeon grade forearm. There are no dings, dents, or finish flaws. I am located in Zionsville, In. I believe the forearm has the original factory finish. The price is $250 plus buyer to pay $15 shipping costs. I will accept PayPal - friends and family (or add 3% for purchase item), personal check, or postal money order. Item is listed elsewhere and for sale locally. Feel free to request additional pics or send me a pm with any questions. 1374C77A-7EC7-469A-9692-7EF5E187EBA4.jpeg B2BC07BF-7FA7-48B3-AFA3-CA1445550435.jpeg D647B29B-E46C-4769-8B5E-F9CD59ACC8EB.jpeg 0D342153-2B9F-46CE-96CA-0B70F441177D.jpeg

    Pics tell the story.

    Okay, this was on my 16 ga. Someone I know who is VERY knowledgeable about Model 12's informed me he thought the forearm was for a 12 ga. because the gap between the wood and the barrel was too great. There was no function issue.

    I found a 16 ga forearm to put on my gun hence this forearm is no longer needed. I suppose I could compare the forearm to the forearm on my 12 ga Model 12. This forearm is in great shape - no finish issues. The checkering is good.

    I won't disagree with you comment. Can only state what I know and what I have been told by someone whose opinion I highly respect and trust to know of what he speaks when it come to Model 12's.

    compare your mag tube channels cut in the wood on the 2 forearms. that will tell the story. no matter what the outcome, that wood is worth every penny. hope it sells. good luck.
