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. There were just over 5000 Skeet Grades ever produced, or about 3% of total production. That makes a Model 42 Skeet Grade gun scarce. This fine Winchester M42, sn10780 made in1934, is untouched and original in every way. It is a pre-war, second year production, Skeet Grade and a very desirable gun. Even better is the condition of this gun, which is factory original, untouched, 98% with only slight wear on the hard edges, a bit near the trigger guard, and a few very slight handling marks on the barrel. This IS NOT A RESTORED GUN, but a rare, original factory Model 42. Of course, everything Winchester will always be collectible, and values will always continue to climb, as they are not being made any longer. Rarity and condition drives value, and this gun has plenty of both. This is very likely the only time in your life you will have the opportunity to own such a fine and rare Winchester Model 42, so don’t miss out. Thanks for looking!
