Description:
Offered here is a highly desirable and increasingly scarce Winchester Model 42 chambered in .410 bore with the original 2½-inch chamber, factory 28-inch solid matted rib barrel, and factory Skeet choke. Serial number 89826 places production in the early 1950s, during the prime of Winchester’s craftsmanship era.
Factory Specifications:

The shotgun shows strong original blue with honest handling marks consistent with age, crisp checkering, and excellent wood-to-metal fit. The solid rib remains straight and true, and the action cycles smoothly. The stock retains its original dimensions and factory grip cap.
Factory 2½-inch chambered Model 42s with solid ribs and 28-inch Skeet barrels are significantly more scarce and historically more desirable than later 3-inch field models. This configuration represents the classic, hand-fitted Model 42 era and draws strong interest from collectors and .410 enthusiasts alike.
If you are looking for a premium example of an early solid-rib Winchester Model 42 configured exactly how collectors prefer them, this is a standout piece.
