Quote History Quoted:
Don't use shit ammo in that gun and there is a 98.9% chance your problem is solved. By crap I mean bulk promo ammo with steel bases instead of brass.
I agree with the concept he is applying a typical Express 870 fix to your model 12 because he does not know them.

I searched for others with a Winchester Model 12 issue like mine and found threads speaking about polishing chamber to actually be a success.
I tried shooting a Winchester Super X #5 Turkey shot and some Federal #6 Quail shots. They both appear to have brass bases to them, and not steal. I made sure nothing on it had the word "steal" on it before shooting.
On top of that, I brought the shotgun to him stuck with the round in it. He managed to eject it and didn't mention anything about it being the wrong ammo.

Done properly, polishing the chamber is not going to harm any shotgun.
I will have to trust the gun smith at this point and hope for the best. Thanks for the info on it.
