Southpaw Gringo Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Howdy. My local gun shop has a Winchester 12ga Model 12 "Featherweight" on the used gun rack. My question is, is this shotgun legal for use in Wild Bunch? No mention of it in the WB shooters handbook. Thanks in advance. S.G--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 It's a Model 12. It's in 12 gauge. As long as it does not have a Cutts Compensator or other external choke, and it's in factory-issued condition externally, it should be good to go. External modifications, external chokes, are called out as illegal in the handbook. Make sure it's not a Winchester Model 25. A non-takedown version of M12 with short magazine tube. Good luck, GJ "No mention of it in the WB shooters handbook." Sure it's mentioned in the handbook. Don't sweat about the model variations. There's also Model 12 Duck guns, trap guns, skeet guns, Black Diamond high quality guns, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfoot Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 My experience has been that the Featherweight moded 12 only holds 5 rounds in the magazine, not 6 like the standard model. You might want to check that. Blackfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check that. Blackfoot I have no experience with the M12 Featherweight, but I believe Blackfoot to be correct.

J. Frank Norfleet Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Southpaw Gringo, If memory serves me, I don't think it is legal. There is no mention in the Handbook but it is different from the other M12s. It is a solid frame model that holds 4 rounds. Before you buy, get a definitive answer from HJ. All the variations that GJ mentions are cosmetic and quality differences except for the 3" Duck gun and the duck gun won't run on short shells without a lot of gunsmithing. So don't buy it either. There are too many firearm variations to exclude in the Shooters Handbook, especially in the 1911. So, unless it is specially included, consider it excluded unless a member of the WB committee tells you otherwise. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Gringo Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks for all the responses. There's not much info on the web about this mod 12 Featherweight but knowing it wont hold 6 rounds most defiantly distracted my interest from it. To bad because this shotgun looks to be in 90% for just 350.00. I guess Im leaving it on the rack. Thanks again everybody! S.G-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It’s not legal but that’s a heck of a price on one if it’s in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
