Headed out the door here shortly to chase some elk up near Craig, Colorado. Nothing special, just trying to fill a cow tag. The burning question I have today is not about hunting elk but about production history at Winchester, namely when the earlier, shallow, semi-pistol grip on the Model 12 became the more-pronounced pistol-grip on the later guns. I've seen M12s as late as 1930 that had what I believe to be the original stock with the earlier grip. Guns out of the 1940s seem to have the later version. I'm guessing around the mid-1930s was when that changed, but I can't confirm that.
