[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 434765, member: 330"] I've got a 100 year old M12 16ga which I "ruined" IMHO. Everyone who sees it says it looks nice. The blue is "Remington" gloss and the mag is parkerized. It's been reamed to 2 3/4 (which is no big deal) and occasionally ejects a rd with a bulged/cracked head. The case mouths always appear fully open. IDK: IMO; there's three options: 1: The rd is being discharged without being fully into battery 2: The chamber is a bit short 3: The yolk is off face and the set screw needs adjusted; I think this is the likely problem and a genius design feature. If Winchester incorporated a dbl action bar and kept nickel steel the M12 may still rode second tit. It may have become a Corvette vs Mustang situation: FYI: "Nickel Steel" guns were proofed with "bombs" and be factory converted to 3in. I'd give them free range with this gun except for the wood. I'm very pleased with TruOil. That is all. [/QUOTE]
