This is a no reserve penny auction for a Winchester Model 42 pump-action shotgun in .410 Gauge. Serial number- 80404. This shotgun is in great condition for its age and features a 3" chamber, 13 3/4" length of pull, and a fixed modified choke. After running a serial number lookup, we believe this shotgun was manufactured in 1949. The Winchester Model 42 was the first pump action shotgun designed to use the .410 bore cartridge, and is essentially a scaled down version of the classic Model 12. Marketed as "Everybody’s Sweetheart," as well as "The Greatest Little Shotgun in the World," the sleek, racy, fast-handling Model 42 was a hit with upland hunters and skeet shooters and continues to be popular with collectors. 164,800 Model 42s produced between 1933 and 1963 until Winchester discontinued production in preparation for the 1964 company restructuring.
