There is thinning at all edges, scattered pinprick erosion. The finish on the barrel is beginning to turn to light patina and there are light marks scattered throughout. The receiver has light scratches scattered throughout, with more concentrated at the seam between the receiver and the fire control group. The magazine tube shows wear from operation. The knurling on the magazine tube rod is worn but well defined.
The screw heads are sharp though the slot on the takedown screw is slightly tool marked. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good condition. Mechanics: The action functions correctly. It has a cross-bolt safety at the back of the trigger guard and a slide release at the front of the trigger guard. The action is unique in that the magazine tube moves back and forth with the slide. We have not fired this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
John Pedersen, the inventor of the Pedersen device used on rifles in WWI, had already designed several Remington shotguns. He was given the assignment to design a high-power pump to compete with Winchester's lever actions. He started with the Model 12 rimfire model in and designed its big brother, the Model 14 in The Model 12 and 14 rifles were butter smooth with a magazine tube that moved with the slide. It is in about Very Good overall condition. This is a nice little takedown rifle that probably served someone for squirrels and rabbits back in the day.
Although there were quite a few of the Model 12 rifles made, this one has a nice bore and original finish. We expect this one to end up in a Remington collection or a collection of early gallery type rifles as well. Please see our photos and good luck!

Nice to speak with folks I am sure they sometimes have to wonder why all these people care exactly when their guns were made nearing a half century ago. But, they come through repeatedly just the same. I guess it might be important to know if it is over a half century old.
At least I think that is how it works I have a Rem. Here are the pictures below at the link provided. Any help as to the weird horse shoe mark and the circle with the line on top would be great, thanks. Wow, an over 8 year old thread revived. But, kudos on using the search engine! No prefix is pre , and by that number I would guess yours is late or early If you have 4 numbers whited out I think that is the highest pre '68 serial number I have seen, because they generally went in order until they changed the prefix and then started again.
My guess is the barrel is and is not original to the receiver, but nothing is surefire. The horseshoe is an assembly line mark. Thanks for the help, Virginian I also bought my son a an 12 ga express. RSZ, the two letters are backwards on the barrel. KC but upside down it says CK. As far as the rest of the serial on the other , its SV. Way more quality in the wingmaster. Any help on the date of the new one? Has no Action Bar Plunger. Receiver had changes to accommodate new type carrier dog and bolt.
And there is a milled slot on RH inside below the ejection port. Trigger Guard has visible changes for the new style coil spring ejector case, and a milled out circular section forward, below of the hammer bushing hole TD and is about equal in length as the hole, to clear the carrier dog. Trigger Guard still has a straight lower tang. Later, which we have not been able to come up with any exact serial numbers as yet, but the new screws have 4 scallops on the edges, which utilize a small retainer or lock screw to keep the screw from loosening.
Ejector Plunger Case is screwed in from the front behind the hammer with one screw on top center of TG unit. All the above 22 RF changes apply to the 22 Special guns, except for the following. Barrel bore diameter is larger by about. Breech block has larger cuts to accommodate the larger and thicker rim of the cartridge. Action bar has no cartridge stop but has a larger and longer recess for the cartridge to pass upwards into the chamber.
Magazine Inner Tube is a larger inside diameter, while maintaining the same outside dia. Some 22 Special tubes have a grooved "Vee" ring in the knurled magazine plug.
Carrier is flat on RH side with a small half moon notch in front of the hammer bushing visible on RH side when assembled in TG. Forearm Screws again have more 2 variations. The early forearms utilized the scalloped type screw of the model 12, but longer to accommodate the thicker forearm. Later, and again we have not been able to come up with any exact serial numbers.
The later ones used a large plain headed screw that utilized a castellated lock washer under the head.
The old part number of was for the scalloped screw which used the same lock screw as the model The later larger head number was used. Initial disassemble, Location and installation of the cartridge retainer. The model 12s have a small button on the bottom of the action slide metal behind the wood forearm.
This is a stop button which needs to be pushed in which then allows the action slide and the magazine tube to be retracted far enough to disconnect the breechbolt from the action bar, and allow the forearm to move slightly forward, disconnecting the action bar from the breechbolt.
Remove the breechbolt up and out of the now upside down receiver. These cartridge retainers lay between the barrel and receiver, and is secured by it's notch that goes over the front of the receiver that is protruding downward.
So when the action bar unit is removed the retainer will fall out and you probably did not realize where it came from. Remove the forearm screws and the action bar unit can be withdrawn out the rear of the receiver. In reassembly have the rifle upside down, place the retainer as shown in the LH photo below.
The magazine tube and action bar need to be inserted into the receiver from the rear. The action bar has a shallow groove in it that accepts the retainer in this position. Place the forearm in position, slide this metal forward, the tube goes thru the forearm and into the magazine ring.
As you slide everything forward the action bar metal will secure the retainer. Replace the forearm screws. Now to install the breechblock, with the forearm pushed forward, while still upside down you will need to place the breechblock into the receiver whereby the forward section, locking block is inserted into place with this locking block area resting into the milled out recess of the rear of the receiver.
