What is the value of a 22 caliber Remington Model 12 with an octagonal barrel last patented April 16 1912?

Answer 1

AnswerThe Model 12 actually came in 12A, 12B, 12C models. The Model 12A had a round barrel, while B & C had octagonal barrels. The Model 12B was a short barrel rifle.

Value depends on the actual model and condition. I have seen this at shows and online for anywhere from $250 to $500. Most of them, like my father's model 12C, are kept for their sentimental value, rather than as a valuable antique firearm. But as I remember, the Model 12 was an accurate, dependable rifle. I used my father's 12C to dispatch a lot of small game back in the 1960's.

This firearm was introduced in 1909 and the last one, a model 12C was produced in 1929. Remington can actually tell you the approximate date of manufacture of yours based on the serial number.

Actually, Remington made the Model 12 until 1936 after which it was replaced by the Model 121.

Actually (from a different person ;) If you list a serial number I can tell you when it was made if it's after 572,000 or so it's 1921 and later and there will also be a date barrel code stamped on the left side of the barrel, which you can lookup (or list here) and it will give month as well as year. If a 12 is in excellent to mint condition depending on the grade in can bring 12-1,500 new in the box.

Answer 2

The model 12 was manufactured from 1909 to 1936.

The value of a model 12 is greatly determined by condition and variation, for a general 12A (standard grade).

Mint (100%) $800-1,000

Excellent (98%) 700-800

Very good (95%) 600-700

? (90%) 500-600

Below it's a shooter from 100-500 depending on overall condition of blue, wood, and rifling

Answer 3

I *think* that is a Remington model 12, if it's a pump that's it. However value is greatly influenced by condition, condition, and condition which isn't described.
