The Model 42 is an icon in the ranks of Winchester firearms, made in the days of the highest quality control and hand fitted parts. The Model 42 was a flawlessly produced little pump gun, chambered only for the diminutive .410 shotgun shell. In the 30 years of production that ran from 1933 to 1963, almost 160,000 of these fine guns were produced. A very large percentage were Field Grade guns, and there were also Skeet Grades, Trap Grades, and the Deluxe Grade. IN ALL THERE WERE LESS THAN 400 DELUXE GRADES EVER MADE BY THE FACTORY. In Ned Schwing's book "THE WINCHESTER MODEL 42" he describes the Deluxe Grade as a continuation of the Trap Grade that was in production from 1934 to 1939 with only 231 guns produced. In 1946 the Deluxe Grade took the place of the Trap Grade with the same distinguishing features, namely the jeweled bolt and carrier, XXX wood, double diamond 20 line per inch checkered forend, and single diamond checkered stock. This gorgeous little M42 Deluxe, sn54690, was built in 1947 and retains 97% factory original metal finishes and the stock has been restored to new. Built as a Skeet gun, with 3” chamber and factory Skeet choke, she is a gorgeous little pump gun for your quail, woodcock, grouse, and for the very skilled and cautious, larger upland birds. Of course, you can’t have much more fun than breaking clays with a little Model 42 Deluxe Skeet gun, so don’t let this one pass you by. Thanks for looking.
