[QUOTE="Dogman-1, post: 2706712, member: 118784"] To start with, I’m a BIG Model 12 fan and have more than I probably should. What you described are basically "field grade" guns that really don’t have "collector" value. Hopefully they have heirloom value to you and your family. I am pretty sure that your guns have nickel steel barrels and if you decide to have them reblued, make sure you use a Model 12 expert gunsmith. My choice would be Eubanks in Idaho. If you do a search, you can find their website. if you plan on shooting them, you probably ought to have the chamber ring replaced because today’s steel based hulls are notorious for sticking in the chambers, even in many new, $30k+ over/unders.
