Atlanta Area Gunsmith experienced with Model 12 Winchester?

ne metro gwinnett, myron with ace and eights he will be at cobb this weekend

I aint going to the cobb show, it will be a madhouse.

thanks for the info guys, this one has a random fail to fire every so often, probably just worn out as the serial # indicates it was manufactured in 1917

Take the bolt out and clean the firing pin, firing pin channel and firing pin spring. The gunk that ends up there in a field gun slows the pin down and is often the reason they do this. A full detailed strip and clean of the bolt will probably fix this. I'd bet money.

Ram is spot on. That will take care of the issue 99% of the time.
