This firearm was introduced in 1909 & discontinued in 1936
Originally this model was designated 'The New 22 Repeater' & did not have an actual model number assigned. Most people simply refer to this gun as the model 12, and do not add the sub model letter suffix code, which basically designates the barrel length & caliber variations.

The early plain screws have a part number of #27, while the scalloped use #27S.
Magazine Outer Tube has been made in 2 or possibly 3 different lengths.The round barrel used a shortertube than the octagon barreled guns.Also in the many years these guns have been in existence, the outer tubes may have been changed, even to a 121 type, thereby requiring matching inner tubes.
Inner Magazine Assemblies will match the outer tube lengths.

--------------------------
These guns are essentially the same as the early guns with the followingexceptions
Firing Pin (#149) is round & is the same as found in the model 121. With possibly the exception of the 12CS which we have seen use the older #220 flat firing pin at s/n 805, 000 as this caliber was not that common & it possibly took longer to use up the existing 22 Rem Spl breech blocks.
Ejector (#??) is a coil spring loaded, round plunger type, encapsulated in a case that is held in place in theTG by the stock, when assembled.

Forearm Screws have 2 variations. The early forearms utilized a simple round headed screw to retain the wood to the metal action bar.

The early plain screws have a part number of #27, while the scalloped use #27S.
------------------------------
'Late Transition Guns'The following is apparently the only change made.
Ejector Plunger Case is screwed in from the front behind the hammer with one screw on top center of TGunit.
------------------------------
Model 12, 22 Remington Special (same cartridge as the 'Winchester' 22 WRF )
(12S) straight grip, hard rubber butt-plate, round barrel
(12CS) pistol grip steel crescent butt-plate, octagon barrel
All the above 22 RF changes apply to the 22 Special guns, except for the following.
Barrel bore diameter is larger by about .002
Breech block (#607) has larger cuts to accommodate the larger & thicker rim of the cartridge.
Action bar (#) has no cartridge stop & has a larger & longer recess for the cartridge to pass upwards intothe chamber.
Magazine Inner Tube is a larger inside diameter, while maintaining the same outside dia.Some 22 Specialtubes have a grooved 'Vee' ring in the knurled magazine plug.
Carrier (#) is flat on RH side with a small half moon notch in front of the hammer bushing visible on RHside when assembled in TG.
Cartridge Retainer (#91) is basically the same (2 1/4') configuration as the early 22 RF (#57) except it is made of 2 parts riveted together, one being thinner sheet steel with “wings” protruding slightly on both sides
Forearm Screws again have more 2 variations. The early 121 forearms utilized the scalloped type screw of the model 12, but longer to accommodate the thicker forearm. Later & again we have not been able to come up with any exact serial numbers. The later ones used a large plain headed screw that utilized a castilated lock washer under the head.
Location & installation of the cartridge retainer. These retainers lay between the barrel & receiver. They guide the bullet nose from the magazine up & into the chamber of the firearm. Remove the forearm screws. The model 12s have a small button on the bottom of the action slide metal behind the wood forearm. This is a stop button & needs to be pushed in which then allows the action slide & the magazine tube to be retracted far enough to disconnect the breechbolt from the action bar move the forearm slightly forward disconnecting the action bar from the breechbolt. Remove it. now remove the forearm screws, & withdraw the action bar/magazine tube unit out the rear of the receiver. The retainer lays up against the barrel & is secured by it's notch that goes over the front of the receiver that is protruding downward & when the action bar unit is removed the retainer will fall out & you probably did not realize where it came from.
In reassembly have the rifle upside down & place the retainer as shown in the LH photo below. There is a slight shoulder of material of the receiver on the underside of the barrel that the retainer straddles & keeps it in place front/rear. The magazine tube & action bar need to be inserted into the receiver from the rear. The action bar has a shallow groove in it that accepts the retainer in this position.
Now to install the breechblock, with the forearm pushed forward, (while still upside down) you will need to place the breechblock into the receiver whereby the forward section, (locking block) is inserted into place with this locking block area resting into the milled out recess of the rear of the receiver. This breechblock will now be about 3/16' farther rearward than it normally would be when operating the firearm. Now if your model has the
