Found this one today at an antique store.The price was right. 40.00 so i bought it with out knowing it worked or not.Well when i got it home i was excited to find it pumps and holds air just fine.Will clean it up and oil it down but so far so good!Its all original and hasnt been overhauled by the looks nor has the wood.Finish on barrel is in great shape so im happy to add it to my collection!

Nice find! Those are hard to come by!
Are you sure it's a smoothbore? Mine is rifled.
Should be fairly easy to make a replacement feed tube for it.

Nice find! My grandfather has one and I love to shoot it. I've taken a few tree ratsup close with it. The pump cup is dry so it hardly pumps and air in it, but if I put some pell gun oil in the cup it will get to hard for my Grandfather to pump. The man has had 4 open heart surgeries, he can only do so much. But he is extremely bullheaded
lol. But the best thing about the 312, it is made out of walnut and brass, and made right in the heart of the U.S., St. Louis MO.

Really nice find. I never thought of hunting for AG's in an Antique store. Let us know when you get ammo so you can fill us in on how it shoots.
Congrats,
