MODEL 42 HISTORY: The first pump-action shotgun designed specifically for the .410 was introduced by Winchester in 1933 as the Model 42. A scaled-down version of Winchester’s classic Model 12 pump-action shotgun, the Model 42 was a sweet little scattergun that holds top value to collectors. About 164,800 were produced in a variety of grades and barrel configurations - Standard Grade, Skeet Grade, Trap Grade, Deluxe Grade, and Pigeon Grade. 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. The Model 42 stayed in the lineup until 1963, a famous year in the company’s history, when rising production costs led to changes in manufacturing processes which led to the "pre-64" and "post-64" categories of all Winchester firearms.
