From the Vault: Winchester Model 42 Shotgun
This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Keith Ford delves into the Winchester Model 42 shotgun, often called "The Greatest Little Shotgun in the World." Keith explains how it's a simplified and downsized version of the Winchester Model 12, specifically designed for the .410 bore. The video highlights the various configurations available, including different grades, rib options, and choke systems. It also touches on the Model 42's production history (1933-1963), its increasing collector value, and its enduring popularity as a well-made and pleasant-to-shoot firearm, even earning the nickname "Everybody's Sweetheart."
