Gifted Winchester Model 25 12ga

[Uncle Chan]

Good Afternoon,

I was gifted a Winchester Model 25 12ga this weekend. I know very little about this model and rather than spending hours on google, I was hoping that you fine folks might give me your opinions of this model. I've a Model 12 that I love and I know this is a solid frame model that came after the 12. Other than that, I know little.

So, what do you think of the model 25?

thanks,

Uncle Chan

The model 25 was made between 1949-54...They made about 88000 of them all 12ga... ...it is basicly a solid frame [non takedown] model 12 ...they were made by Winchester to be cheaper than the model 12 but still a quality gun, to compete with other lower cost pumps on the market.........some say it handles better than the model 12
