The Winchester Model 12 Cut-Away and Cycle of Operation

[@homersimpsonii5455]

I thought you were going to show us a cutaway, but you made your own. Hated to see that gun destroyed, but it was educational, thanks Larry.

[@shadowblack1987]

Yes, poor badly damaged shotgun that has no value.

[@cjlane4465]

@@shadowblack1987 i would've re-stained the stock a nice ebony mix and slapped some Birchwood Casey on it, then cut the barrel down to where the damage is. Would've made a great collectable home defence gun with history but now it will be used to educate curious people for eternity to come so I suppose it isnt a tragedy.. I wouldn't call the gun worthlessness or "no value".

[@James-ki6xi]

Thank you Larry. One of the best videos ive seen. Long live the model 12

[@01ghostmechanic01]

Excellent video. I own a Winchester 1912 & I really liked watching how it works. It makes me appreciate the craftsmanship even more & also appreciate your ingenuity in being able to do this.

[@mpsteidle]

As much as it pains me to see a model 12 cut up, this video has been extremely useful when judging what has worn on the one i recently purchased. Very useful reference.

[@benengleman1707]

I'm with you here. Got to replace some parts in my m12 16 ga and it helps to see the inner workings beforehand

[@shadowblack1987]

Yes, poor badly damaged shotgun that has no value.

[@ablemagawitch]

Bubba NOOO!!!! Good Job and Video Larry Potterfield glad it has survived many youtube gun purges . This is quality educational content that future generations will benefit from seeing.

[@YouBazinga]

This why I love the KZbin free video contribution concept. Hats off to Mr. Potterfield for a great presentation.

[@aleramone23]

Excellent video, the only thing that hurts to see such a beautiful gun being left unnoperable.

[@ahriman935]

+Alejandro Medina It's for the greater good. Her sacrifice will not be in vain.

[@isaacsprenger9940]

Alejandro Medina weelllllll you may be able to fire it once :-)

[@bramstayer]

More people who listen & learn the less hysterical some may become& may at least see the value in having responsible gun ownership. We understand bad folks have guns knives cars and chemicals. Guns devide people but soon it may be easier to render guns useless in the wrong hands!! Love how new technology could really show peoples true colours? Smart guns for example could be the breakthrough the industry needs to prove the NRA care about the death toll. The NRA COULD return to its original purpose of educating the gun owning public or future . Will they? Hehehe They DON'T support owner-exclusive technology for guns.THEY should be pioneering this movement & that way every good guy with a gun could not have his weapon turned against him. The NRA doesnt support it. Wonder why. At least the cops could have them. Maybe one day it will know who not to shoot.

[@chrismc410]

@@ahriman935 still, there no doubt are computer models of the action which eliminates the need to cut such a fine gun up, educational reasons or not.

[@20alphabet]

So THAT'S how it works! Thanks Mr. Potterfield.

[@ulkesh78]

Great video! Always love to see detailed video of how my weapons operate. I have a model 12 from my grandfather and love it

[@vicesat]

Very interesting, do it more videos like this

[@thrackmoorinvictus5948]

That was awesome! Great video (yet again) by Larry!

[@jamesheimer1866]

Thanks for this explanation of the inner workings and hidden mechanisms of the Model 12. I have recently noticed that I need to bump the pump forward before I can run it back to load the next round. Thanks to your video, it appears that the compression spring around the magazine tube is not doing its job to release the slide lock after a shell is fired. I will need to get in there to inspect it. Hopefully, it just needs cleaning. My Model 12 is from 1936, and I doubt that the previous, original owner ever checked this. I certainly haven't since I've owned the gun for about four years.

[@crankygunreviews]

This video is so well done, and is very informative!

[@The762nato]

Well done Larry , thank you MR Maxberry

[@budmoore8144]

GREAT VIDEO NOTHING BETTER THAN A MODEL 12

[@StaleCroissant_]

So simple, yet so smart

[@escith1]

Used this video to double check my spring position, looks good. Thanks

[@edterlep]

Extremely interesting, saw this via a friend. Had no idea how such a gun worked.

[@Me2Lancer]

Impressive work and if I'm not mistaken the comparison would be quite similar to my Model 1200. Thank you!

[@ConradSzymczak]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@admji5693]

very informative, good watch.

Thanks a lot for this video. I always wondered how a pump action shotgun worked.

[@quahogconvo]

Wonderfully interesting.

[@tommygun6028]

Hello Larry I just got same shotgun like your except in 20 G. All the Best 👍 My is from 1912

[@76jasonl]

Great video Larry. Your are a genius. Your videos have helped me out of a tight spot more than once. Now get out of that machine shop and get some 22 in stock.

[@vedranbabic1583]

Great video !

[@nikoelias1201]

Awesome work.

[@Mongoretired]

Excellent, very glad it's yours and not mine, again thank you

[@andreydernov6149]

VERY INTERESTING. CLEARLY!

[@BGSoccerMagic]

I suggest that you use high speed camera that would allow you to play specific parts of the videos in slow mo. Apart from that, this was a very nice video. Thank you!

[@NBZW]

Best shotgun ever made for the price.

[@Rot05]

Is there anything that Larry can't do? He is like the Chuck Norris of gunsmithing!

[@sergeantbigmac]

This is really neat. Every range and gun shop should consider having one of these on display. Sad to see that old gun get cut up though. Other than the bulge it looked mint! Use something more beat up, then collector value and refinishing doesn't matter....

[@FenjaFemkeVeit]

awesome, thats what I was looking for. good explanation.

[@garywhite8369]

Larry, you are the man! I truly enjoyed this video. My favorite shot gun the model 12! They are truly the smoothest action of any pump gun I have ever owned. And after watching this video I can understand exactly how they are supposed to function. I recently purchased a 1916 20 gauge, the safety is in the fire position and will not move either direction, I sprayed it with blaster penetrating oil and let it soak for days, nothing seems to help. I can not see rust or anything obvious, in fact is very clean. Any suggestions please! Again thanks so much for the video

[@Bulsh1tMan]

Always wonder how they make the cutaway guns, thanks for sharing!

[@MikeD-ne6ie]

Thank you Larry! (Who else would have sawed off the barrel below the bulge?)

[@amerfable]

what's the name of this music?fantastic!

[@Lokolopes7]

That is an amazing weapon.

[@DualsPortvet]

That's pretty cool.

[@guidogt9878]

Very nice.

[@12gmentalist]

Nice vid larry ! ;)

[@bramstayer]

Thanks for info!

[@MPGunther1]

👍 thank you

[@nikoelbert1645]

yay now i know how a shotgun works

[@romulrem1917]

Спасибо, очень интересно!

[@1campbells1]

Cool bro.

[@ravenclanx]

What do you guys do with all the cutaway models.?

[@dougt6887]

Would you do a video of what happens to a model 12, shooting steel shot and what modification would be necessary . There's 2 million out there mostly sitting in closet because people can't shoot sheel shot .

[@LuisHunter12380]

Just as you said!

[@thomascapitalmgt]

I have a Mod 12 with Money-Maker ribs, miller trigger and in mint condition

[@danshorthouse]

does anyone know the size of the punch pin tool needed for the winchester model 12 breech bolt retaining lever pin?i have ordered a new lever and pin for mine and need to order the punch size. Thanks in advance!

[@SerielThriller]

Why does it need the wooden plug? Why not 4 shells in it?

[@artwilmeth6944]

My model 12 / 20 ga is firing well when a shell is loaded directly into the barrel. The spent shell ejects but the receiver will not load another shell from the magazine tube. Do you know what could be wrong in the receiver ?

[@codybarnhart7161]

Some models have a magazine cut off switch. It is suposed to keep the shells inside the magazine tube while working the action. Kind of a option while shooting skeet that you would have to manually load a shell in the chamber. Disengage it while you where in the field and hunting and it will pull the shells into the chamber after ejecting your spent shell.

[@ablemagawitch]

at 4:30 you can see the shell lifter, if you do not have a magazine cut off switch/option as stated by codybarnhart7161 issue , I would suggest to see if your shell lifter is bent,or broken. That assuming nothing is stopping the shells from feeding from the magazine tube into and onto the shell lifter itself.

[@deusredeemer]

AWESOME AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME !!!

[@vn01208503]

shut up = =

[@deusredeemer]

vn01208503 why? seeing a m12 being destroyed for learning purposes is awesome and sad at the same time :P

[@vn01208503]

deusredeemer ok agreed

[@avalon449]

Cool, cool, cool...

[@larryhatfield7372]

In my opinion there the best shotgun made

[@oscaravila1793]

are they a 3 round shotgun or 6 round

[@lucasenglish4126]

both. I bought one a month or so ago and, like with all pump/semi auto shotguns I buy, I took off the magazine tube end cap and removed a short wooden dowel from the tube. It was about 6" long and half an inch thick and just served as a plug to prevent loading more than 2 or 3 rounds. I think it's to comply with hunting regulations or some such. so yes. they are 3 round shotguns depending on if you keep the magazine plug in the tube. and they are 6 if you it out.

[@MrTangent]

You monster. What did you do to this Model 12!?

[@MrTangent]

Just kidding. That was fascinating... but I hate to see old guns destroyed.

[@james52054]

How extraordinary?

[@vipindmen477]

Plese Make a video on Winchester cooie

[@TheLastPatriotUSA]

Larry, next time you cut up a classic like that Model 12, please contact me first! I'll give or trade you for a well worn one, that barrel could have been replaced. It brought torrents of tears streaming down my face, when you started milling on it! Next time cut up an 870, there are a lot more of them.

[@valdircelular9834]

Quero em português se possível.

[@SirNC89]

I know someone will disagree with me, but I hate the fact a Model 12 was cut up...

[@Hotshotter3000]

Like a frog in a dissection table, it must die so we can learn...

[@ResellingWithaHusky]

Same but I'm thankful for the information learned from it's sacrifice

[@jman95510]

It was like watching Bo Duke jump the General Lee. Fun to watch but you know a classic was just sacrificed.

[@CanalAmigoGeek]

A M A Z I N G : - )

[@justinfeliciano6033]

So far seeing three other videos , I’m learning that my Winchester has a plug in it that allows only 2 rounds to load up…

[@MavHunter20XX]

Reminds me of someone gutting a cute furry animal. You just wish it wasn't necessary.

[@chrismc410]

With today's technology, it's not necessary. A computer model cut away would do the same thing without cutting up a perfectly good weapon. Same with the cute animal CT scans and MRIs can do much without the need for exploratory surgeries.

[@ChristiRich]

61 viewers didn't make the cut.

[@ABusFullaJewz]

No wait Larry, that's not how you're supposed to saw off a shotgun!

[@nchunterandfisher99]

this makes me sick

[@vn01208503]

then dont watch it if you hate gun geez

[@brettb.7425]

They usually play something. Anything played is obviously subjective. Therefore, one person might really enjoy the song while another could hate it or remain neutral.

stop the music during speaking

Shame you can't shoot steel shot with it.
