My son’s fiancé was recently given a Model 25 by a relative. Unlike most modern shotguns with a magazine of four or five shells, the Model 12 and 25 have a capacity of six (6+1). All Model 25s had solid frames, so no take-down models. Standard barrel length was 28″ although no take-down versions were made although a few riot guns with 20″ barrels were produced. The Model 25 had a relatively short five-year production life with manufacturing beginning in 1949 and ending in 1954 with 87,937 produced.īased on the Model 12 action, it was known as the “poor man’s Model 12.” The Model 25 was a no-frills model and offered only in 12 gauge. However, gun dealers complained about the high cost of the Model 12 and this brought about the lesser-known Winchester Model 25.
