I just bought a Winchester model 12 in 16ga. and was woundering if I got a good deal or not. The gun was made in 1925 has a 2.5 inch chamber(you may have seen some of my other posts about getting shells for it). It has a 26 inch barrel with a mod. choke. Now the part I was concerned with a bit. It had some bad pitting on the reciever that was cleaned up and then the gun was reblued. It looks like they did a very nice job on it. I believe the wood was refinished also. I just don't know that much about the model 12 and would like more info. I have looked in the Blue Book of Gun Values but it does't say anything about the value if the guns are redone. I am looking to use the gun as a shooter and not a inverstment. Any info would be helpful
