- Here is a Winchester Model 42 made in 1948. This is the narrative I go through every day it goes to the trap range.
No, it's not a rifle.
Yes, it’s a Shotgun.
No, it isn't illegal to shoot trap with it.
Yes, it's a Winchester.
No, it isn't a Model 12.
Yes, it’s the one that’s only made in .410.
No, really, it isn't a Model 12.
Yes, it’s slam fire.
No, I am certain, I promise, it isn't a Model 12 in .410.......they didn't make a Model 12 in four....huh?
No, it’s not for sale.
If there ever was a "famous" design, this is it. People want to take pictures with this thing for crying out loud. Enjoy!

Very good review. I used to live near KCMO. I walked into Simmons, in Olathe KS and found ranks of model 42s that were being fitted with vented ribs. Amazing.
I worked in the gun shops for 6 years, starting in 1974. We were selling few if any Winchesters as a result of the post 1964 models.
@@garyhammond2213 Winchester in 1974 is EXACTLY where we are going very soon!! How weird. Stay tuned.
Sir, this video is fantastic! Thank you so much for the information provided!
Thanks for the kind words......glad it was ntertaining. Love this shotgun.....trap is a real challenge.
I had one of these, really wish I hadn't sold it! They are hard to come by and are expensive. Lovely little shotguns.
No regrets.....your replacement is out these somewhere.
It's great to see how your channel has grown, take care!
Thanks, you too!
ahhh all these awesome shotguns I keep seeing from you! Makes me want to buy a ton more of them LOL
I’m currently in talks with my uncle to buy a model 42 thats been in the family quite awhile. This video has me pumped to get it
You will be pumped alright.
I have that same book, along with a model 97 from 1925.
The good ole Madis book. What would we do without it?
An interesting gauge. I suppose a decent choice for small game hunting, and a challenge for clay sports. Low recoil, and certainly effective for defensive purposes at short ranges. In that regard, Mossberg marketed a short barreled pump 410 shotgun with a handgrip on the fore end that I believe was called the "Home Defender" or HS 410 - an interesting concept, but one that was unsuitable for any field or sporting use. The Win 42 is far preferable and presents a more versatile and aesthetic alternative.
Yeah....gotta remember that a .410 slug is a huge projectile certainly suitable for self defense.....or buckshot for that matter.
Wonderful video on the sweet Model 42, what a shotgun and one I hope someday soon to add to my small collection of Pre-64 Winchesters.
You may know that Ned Schwing penned a must have book “Winchester Model 42”, if not it would be your cornerstone book on the subject.
I hope to someday watch a video by you applying your BLO stock treatment on one of your Winchesters. Fingers crossed!!’
Wow.....I get yelled at already for long videos, can you imagine an hour long video of me watching TH-cam and rubbing BLO into a stock?
@@MilsurpGarage I hear what your saying, but a 10-15 min tutorial would be informative enough.
Great channel!!
@@ronaldpetersen255 Yeah, it could be fun. Find some topic to discuss. I like pissing off those who criticize the length of my videos anyway.
I remember back in the day, can’t remember exactly which rifle the video is on, I did do a bit for the explanation of how to rub the BLO in. Without its own dedicated video, it’s lost.
You’ve convinced me. I’m doing it.
Very sweet little shotguns. I have one of the Japanese Browning reproductions built in 1991.
Yeah, that’s a weird little footnote in the history of this shotgun. Don’t think I ever saw one of those. Wonder how many were made and for how long.
@@MilsurpGarage they made them, I believe from 91-94. They made 5000. Most were marked Browning but some were reportedly marked Winchester.
The Mini Model 12 😀😊❤️ Cute Lil Guy I’ve Been Looking For One For a Long Time 😀😊 Nice Score and It’s a Takedown Model 😮😮😮
So many people call it that but they are so different internally......just the outsides look alike. They aren’t an easy one to find but be patient. You’ll find it.
Yes more rare than the one you mentioned and no mention in the books you used for reference...I had it and eventually sold it to Bill Jaqua in Piqua Ohio...It was a grade 5 engraved color case hardened receiver 28" sheet choke with a milled rib and a receiver spoon...If you don't know what a milled rib is do some research...It has dovetail posts on the barrel and the actual rib slides on the posts and is pinned...The 88 milled rib guns were produced in the custom shop...They were the only ventilated ribbed 42s produced totally by Winchester...All other ventilated ribs were put on by Simmons...On those guns the proof is over the chamber under the rib...The milled rib guns the proof in over the chamber but left side of rib...Only other ribbed guns made at Winchester were the solid rib guns which are also very rare...I will not disclose what I sold that gun for $, but be assured it was way more than the $150 I paid for it from the hardware store next to the grain mill in Eaton Ohio...I had a collection of 30 plus 42s and I had pretty much every configuration that was available, so your great Winchester authors don't have the entire story and if Bill Jaqua were alive today he would verify this firearm as he paid dearly for it!...One of those 88 guns would be priceless today!...How about a grade 5 model 21 410...I had one...
Is this it?

The Winchester Model 21 was a conventional side by side shotgun, not a pump. Those Winchesters you showed are really good firearms from their finest days. Though a side by side pump shotgun would be an interesting thing indeed!
I know the model 21 well........I can’t believe I said pump. Definitely firing my producer right now.....oh, wait. Never mind.
There never was a 2 3/4". Fyi. Also the production numbers are very well known for the 42.
Yeah, the .410 nomenclature confuses me I’m so used to 12 gauge.
Sweet example...
So funny you should say that......a common nickname for this shotgun back in it’s day was “Everyone’s Sweetheart”.
@@MilsurpGarage 😂 !!!
These are going for stupid money now, really wish I would have picked up a cheap one at a pawn shop
If you keep looking you will find one nobody is paying attention to...be patient.
I have one of these on top of my 4 model 12s including a 16 gauge in mint condition. But anyways lol I was thinking about using this for turkey. Think I could throw a decent pattern at 40 yards which 3 inch TTS?
Do you know the rarest variation of the M42? ...Less than 100 of this variation all produced by the custom shop?
See so many of these all dolled up in my Rock Island Auction catalogs. August 25, 26, 27 2023 catalog p. 311 had one from the Marvin L. Cole collection that was a 1950 model totally engraved and inlaid by Pauline Muerrle who was the only in house engraver that Winchester ever employed. It is amazing. You got one more rare than that?
It's a baby model 12 , i have 2 model 12's and would love to add that to my collection and a pump .22 winchester
The pump .22 I speak of in the video would make a nice set......the Model 61.
I need that m-1 mat you have as well you know what I have to lay on it for cleaning i bet!
@@mikebeddingfield2144 A Winchester Model 61?
@@MilsurpGarage no sir i have a m-1
@@mikebeddingfield2144 Nice.
I want one so bad! But theyre expensive.
They are. But if you are patient and keep your ear to the ground, you can and will get lucky with a nice one. It’s all about timing.
