Weighing 6lb 7oz this handy pump can be carried all day without any fatigue and look spectacular while doing so. Internally, this 26" barrel exhibits mirror finish, 3" chamber and Full choke. With a crisp breaking trigger pull of 5lb and LOP of 14 1/16" this prized shotgun is ready to field.
The Model 42 was an expertly produced pump gun chambered for the diminutive .410 shell. Winchester literature often portrayed it as the "the ideal family shotgun." Always in high demand, the gun was in production for just 30 years between 1933 and 1963 with approximately 160,000 made. This is the ideal pump gun, add it to your family today.
