Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Most peopl are probably familiar with the Model 1912 Winchester (later changed simply to Model 12 or M12). When introduced, it was known as the “perfect repeater.”
Manufactured from 1912 to 1963, a total of over 2 million were produced during its production run. The Model 12 saw action in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and was used by every branch of the service.
Model 12s were offered in 12-, 16-, 20- and 28-gauges with barrel lengths ranging from 25″ to 32″. Riot and Trench guns with shorter barrels were produced for police and military use. Many grades were offered as well as take-down versions.

However, gun dealers complained about the high cost of the Model 12 and this brought about the lesser-known Winchester Model 25.
The Model 25 had a relatively short five-year production life with manufacturing beginning in 1949 and ending in 1954 with 87,937 produced.
Based on the Model 12 action, it was known as the “poor man’s Model 12.” The Model 25 was a no-frills model and offered only in 12 gauge. Standard barrel length was 28″ although no take-down versions were made although a few riot guns with 20″ barrels were produced. All Model 25s had solid frames, so no take-down models.

Unlike most modern shotguns with a magazine of four or five shells, the Model 12 and 25 have a capacity of six (6+1).
