[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1266677, member: 6406"] Trolling Gunbroker over the past year or so, I've seen M12s like this go in the mid $300s. Most people who buy field-grade 12s (which is what I'm guessing you have) aren't collectors. They just want a shooter and they have good taste in shotguns. Thus, they are willing to pay less for a 16 gauge since that's not a common gauge anymore. There may be some collector interest if the Poly-Choke is factory original; I'm not sure if they ever were factory original, or how to tell if they are, since the awesome Model 12 reference I've read is at my parents' house. If you're willing to reload 16 gauge then I'd try to get it for around $300. I'm a huge fan of Model 12s and I think everyone should own 5. Well since they quit making the Model 12 (not counting "Y-model" limited production runs) in 1964 and they regularly sell for $400 and up I guess you should stop talking about things you don't know about.
