Replacing Cartridge Cutoff Mod. 12
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 9:56 pm
Hi all,
I inherited a nice Model 12 16ga a few years back. Appears to be a 1934 model. SN 670253. The first time I went to load a shell in the mag. I found that the cartridge cutoff was missing. I ordered one online, can't remember from where, it's been awhile, but it will not fit. comes close, but just will not drop into place and fit flush with receiver housing. Now have some free time on my hands and would like to get this repaired and enjoy a nice shotgun.
My guess is that the one I received is for some year of manufacture that is not compatible, but that's just a guess. It does have a small "16" stamped on it.
Anyone know if this is a part that if for the correct year/model will drop right into place? Any range of years of manufacture that parts are interchangeable? Online parts supply recommendation? I do know it needs to be fully forward, but still no go.
Thanks.
