I have a friend that bought a Model 12 Winchester. The shot...gun [ETA for Dvldog's sake- we have to keep him calm ] comes with two barrels. He needs to know how to swap them. Can anyone give step by step, or a link to a repro manual?

TIA

Model 12 barrels need to be fitted to the gun and are not interchangable in the same sense as modern Mossberg, Winchester or R4emington designs are now. Most probably, both of your friend's barrels were fitted to his shotgun, which is why it came with two. (no choke tubes back then and a Cutts or Polychoke is an abomination on a nice old M12)

I have changed barrels on a M12 but it was a long time ago. Probably, dfariswheel will be along to give you the real lowdown on how to do this, but in the meantime, I will do some searching and see what I can find.

Here is a really good factory schematic...

And some pretty decent info with diagrams on disassembly of barrel from receiver...

can we stop saying "shotty". goddamn thats gay.

FWIW, the model 12 is one of the finest shotguns ever made. i cant really back that up but i have an uncanny attachment to them and they often come out instead of the perazzi combo, the beretta 682 set or any other shotguns in the inventory. treat them well.

Is scattergun more acceptable?  I was typing in a hurry, so I just let my fingers do the talking.

Thanks for the links Ikor.  That should help him out a lot.
