12 gauge shells will not fit into my 16 gauge magazine tube but the slide fits both 12 and 16.  Just took another look at my old 16 and noticed a second ring inside the magazine tube into which the follower stops.  This ring is not shown on my 97 exploded view.  So did Win simply use a 12 ga magazine tube and place at circular stop in the tube with a smaller follower to size a 16?  Lets ask a good "smith".   Paledun
