WINCHESTER MODEL 12 PIGEON GRADE 12 GAUGE

Few pump guns ever received this level of factory attention. Built for competition rather than hard field use, this Winchester Model 12 Pigeon Grade 12 Gauge, made in 1963, reflects the Model 12 at its most refined and deliberate.

The gun is fitted with a 26" three-pin Duckbill vent rib barrel, choked WS-1 (.005) with 2¾" chamber, a setup chosen for fast target acquisition and consistent patterns rather than versatility. The 12-B carved stock, steel-capped pistol grip, and engine-turned bolt and carrier give the gun both visual distinction and mechanical polish, setting it well apart from standard production Model 12s. A Winchester recoil pad completes the factory build.

Condition is excellent original, with only the slightest signs of handling from careful storage and limited use. At 8 pounds with a 14¼" length of pull, it carries the smooth, steady feel that made the Pigeon Grade so effective on the line.

This is a purpose-built Model 12—designed to be shot well, finished to be noticed, and preserved to be appreciated.
