What’s Included
- Winchester Model 42 .410 Bore pump-action shotgun in takedown configuration
The takedown system uses the Winchester takedown collar, allowing the shotgun to break down quickly for transport or storage. The right-side ejection and bright in-the-white bolt are consistent with the model’s period features.
The plain 28-inch steel barrel is marked .410–3 IN. — SKEET and has no rib, paired with a simple front bead sight. Chambering is for 3-inch .410 shells, with a 4+1 capacity.
The receiver and barrel wear a polished blue finish over steel. The shotgun retains a walnut pistol-grip buttstock and a checkered walnut slide handle, offering classic Model 42 ergonomics.
Key measurements and configuration include a 14.0-inch length of pull, hammerless action, and a skeet-marked choke designation on the barrel. This example combines an early 1933 receiver with a later-production barrel, an attribute noted in the item details.
