A 1954 Winchester Model 12 in 20 gauge, serial 1588136, in the takedown configuration. The pump action feeds a 28-inch round barrel with a 2 3/4-inch chamber and a fixed Modified choke. The walnut furniture measures 14 inches of pull to a Pachmayr recoil pad; the buttstock has been professionally refinished, while the metal finish and the forearm remain original. The supplier notes light finish wear and handling marks, an excellent bore and very good overall condition.

In Illinois a 20 gauge pump is a legal deer gun when loaded with slugs, and the fixed Modified choke and 2 3/4-inch chamber make it a straightforward field gun the rest of the year. The firearm deer seasons for 2026 run November 20 to 22 and December 3 to 6, with permits drawn by county through the IDNR lottery. The takedown design lets the Model 12 ride in a short case, and the Pachmayr pad is already fitted for a comfortable day in the stand.
