My new/old 12 gauge Model 12 (built in 1961) rattled when I shake it fore and aft. Most of the other 12 ga guns also rattled similarly so I went ahead and laid my money down. I don't recall any of the 16ga or 20 ga guns making this noise though. Of the couple of 12ga guns that didn't rattle, I assumed they just had too much gunk in them. Most did though. These were all model 12's (Yes, I did find the mother load of Mod 12's)
Last night I loaded a snap cap in and pulled the hammer. The rattle disappeared, so it's somewhere in the trigger group /receiver area.
Can one of you Model 12 nuts/ gunsmiths help?
Thanks,
Ed
