*SOLD* Winchester Model 25 12ga Blue 28" *LIMITED PRODUCTION PUMP-ACTION SHOTGUN*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 25 is a classic American pump-action shotgun produced between 1950 and 1954, with approximately 87,937 units manufactured during that short production run. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 2¾" chamber, the Model 25 was designed as a more affordable alternative to Winchester’s iconic Model 12, yet it maintained the company’s reputation for quality and reliability. This particular example features a 28-inch barrel with a full choke, making it well-suited for upland game, waterfowl, or trap shooting. The bead front sight provides a traditional aiming solution, ideal for quick target acquisition in the field.
The shotgun is fitted with a smooth walnut stock and forearm, showcasing clean lines and a functional elegance typical of Winchester's mid-century designs. The blued finish adds durability and a classic aesthetic, while the pump-action mechanism offers proven reliability and ease of use. Though it lacked some of the interchangeable features of the Model 12, the Model 25 was valued for its robust construction and dependable performance. Today, it stands as a solid representation of post-war Winchester craftsmanship and remains a collectible and functional choice for vintage shotgun enthusiasts.
