Could anyone please tell me when my shotgun was manufactured????

Also.......where is the best place to get some kind of handbook on it?? Thanks........Trikerdude

Trikerdude;
Your 16ga model 12 was made the same year as Colins gun 1938...

The books I would recomend about model 12 are,

The Greatest Hammerless Repeating Shotgun Ever Built...Dave Riffle

The Winchester Model Twelve...George Madis

If you want a book to see how to take a Model 12 apart, piece by piece, then look for a "Model 12 Sequence Manual". You may find them here or on Ebay.
