A good book about a great shotgun,
By
This review is from: Winchester Model Twelve (Hardcover)
This is the definitive book about the famous "Model Twelve" Winchester. George Madis covers the history and background leading up to this fine gun, the standards and variations, malfunctions that can happen, their probable causes and remedies. He covers the various chamberings, markings, chokes, matting and ribs, sights available, stocks--you name it, it's in this book. And, the book is full of high-quality photography depicting the things in the text. This shotgun, which is the direct descendant of the equally well-known Winchester model of 1897, is today a collector's item. You can imagine my delight when a relative gave me one in return for some work I did for him on his computer. He had been on the verge of giving it to the police on gun buyback program. It has a four-digit serial number, and was actually made in 1912! It is a 16-gauge in pristine condition Since the shotgun had already been blued once, I had it re-blued and the stock refinished. It is one of the most beautiful guns in my collection, today. If you have a Model 12, or are just interested in them, this is a book you must have! Joseph Pierre,

Winchester Model Twelve,

This review is from: Winchester Model Twelve (Hardcover)
Excellent history on the Model 12 and its variations. Repair section is an excerpt from the Winchester Model 12 Sequence Book and minimally useful if you are buying this book for repair instructions or problem diagnostics.

Impressive Book on the Model 12,
By
This review is from: Winchester Model Twelve (Hardcover)
As an avid outdoorsman, but inexperienced in the many nuances of firearms, I found Madis' book to be very helpful in understanding and appreciating the Model 12 that I own. Madis describes the history, features and configurations of the Model 12 in a documentary-like style. I would liken it to looking at a factory catalog, but one written with great knowledge, detail, care and skill.Upon showing the book to my father-in-law and brother-in-law (both avid hunters; one of which owns a Model 12 and a Model 97), they thought the book to be the most detailed and authoritative they had ever seen. They frankly thought that such a book did not exist and were mesmorized at Madis' work. "Look at this!," they exclaimed at several pages. For the Winchester enthusiast, this book will be a valuable resource and worth the investment.
