Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None Our Assessment: Back in 1908 Remington wanted something to compete with Winchester's famed Model 94 but the faster, smoother operation of a pump gun had a lot of advantages. John Pedersen, the inventor of the Pedersen device used on rifles in WWI, had already designed several Remington shotguns. He was given the assignment to design a high-power pump to compete with Winchester's lever actions. He started with the Model 12 rimfire model in 1909 and designed its big brother, the Model 14 in 1912. The Model 12 and 14 rifles were butter smooth with a magazine tube that moved with the slide. This Model 12-A rifle has a 24” octagon barrel and is chambered in.22 S, L or L.R.
