Remington Model 12a: 109 year-old pump action 22 long rifle

Ойын-сауық

We’ve spent quite a bit of our attention recently on the channel looking at 22 rifles of various types. This one is extra special as it is over 100 years old!
The Remington model 12 AA was a favorite between 1909 and 1936 before production was ceased. It was often found in shooting galleries at places like carnivals or county fairs. Also due to its small profile and light weight, a great gun for kids.
Today we’re going to take a look at this beautiful firearm on the channel, including some of the internal workings and of course shooting

    1931 Remington model 12 was first gun I ever shot. Squirrel hunting with my Dad and Uncle as a 10 year old. Love that gun! Very cool video!

    Have a couple of these, including a cool octagon barrel that only shoots 22 short. grew up shooting 22 tube winchester and remington rifles. Awesome rifles.

    I had seen some pump action 22's some kids had them, I had a single shot Cooey, when i saw a Remington pump Model 12 at a local Gun Range(Canada) I circled it a few times, they were asking 600.00, the Stock had someone's initials scratched into it.I bought it, knowing it was old, vintage, it shoots great, i recently bought a Winchester 1906, paid 1000.00 for a Chiappa Mares leg in 45lc and the 1906, both shoot great

    Thank you for info and sharing. I just recently received my Father’s 12a (who passed away 10years ago) from my Mother’s house. I believe he got it from his Grand Father. Mine has lots of rust/pitting on the barrel but hopefully will clean up

    Excellent little rifle! My dad has a model 12 made in 1911. About the same condition as yours here. My grandpa bought it sometime in the 60’s and I believe my dad reconditioned the wood and bluing in the 70’s or 80’s. Would love it if these guns could talk.. would be interesting to know the history seeing as its 110 years old.

    I just bought 5 22's and a double barrel shotgun. One was a model 12a, and it shoots great. The others were bolt action including a Ranger, a Winchester 69a, Wards Western Field and aaln old Savage with no model number but I believe is a Sportser.

    I have 2 Model 12s. One in equal or better condition than the one shown here. The other a bit rougher, with a hexigon barrel. I got the first from an elderly neighbor in 1952, when I was 7. The older one I got from my great uncle before he passed in the early 50s.

    I’ve got a Browning Trombone . Virtually the same thing . Another of what are commonly referred to as “gallery guns” . The Trombone was a Belgian Browning made by FN in Belgium . I pretty much limit things to 1200fps ammo . Just because I like the gun and kinda worry about shooting really hot ammo in it . Shoots shorts , longs and long rifle .

    My 1912 m12a also does not always feed Hollow point bullets. The HP simply did not exist when the gun was built. Seems like all round nose work great. Also they seem to like liberal lubrication It would be more of a surprise if they did function normally, since the engineers would have needed to make provisions for a nonexistent reason.

    If you dry fire on a continuous basis or a regular basis, yes it’s not good. Doing it once or twice for a trigger pull test - not so much. You have to figure that over the life of these firearms that the shooter doesn’t always count and is going to try to dry fire around it’s not in there fairly often
