Still better looking than the Weaver choke tube system on the end of my 16 gauge Model 12. What's especially painful is that mine was a nickel steel barrel with a solid rib and the barrel was cut to fit the Weaver system. @#$%&*!!!

Sweet. Way nicer than the flanged one I have. I have one of the adjustable choke tubes but have never used it. I use the gun to shoot trap with a .740 tube in it. I'll have to try the collet toy one of these days.

My 16 gauge Model 12 has a Stainless Steel barrel(marked FULL) with a solid rib that was cut for a Poly Choke! However, it works very well.

There is more than one sort of needle in the haystack. So many Winchester m12 collectors are on guard against aftermarket mods and adulterated and composed guns in the WS-1,WS-2 line that they have no use for a steam-whistle gun, no matter how minty, that is exactly as Winchester intended it to be. Looks to me like an entry point for those who want to follow the perennial admonition to buy low and wait. This kind of "on the outside looking in" luck has come to me at least twice. I also have a Flues 4e with a swamped rib and short rib ramps in the French mode. It's mentioned and illustrated in Walt Snyder's Ithaca from the day dot book. When I queried Walt about desirability, he told me that it's not common but "nobody knows about it." Apparently rarity is a nonstarter as a collector parameter unless it's been arificially induced by remuddling of a popular and well-known variant.
