Description: Offered here is a desirable Winchester Model 42 featuring a rare factory fixed CYLINDER choke a configuration seldom encountered on this model. While most Model 42 shotguns were produced with Modified or Full chokes, true factory Cylinder marked examples are notably scarce and highly appealing to collectors and shooters seeking unusual original configurations. This Model 42 retains approximately 80% original blue, showing honest wear consistent with age while remaining mechanically solid and smooth in operation. With its 26 inch barrel, pistol grip stock, and balanced .410 handling, this gun stands as an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare configuration example from the golden era of Winchester production. • Manufacturer: Winchester • Model: 42 • Gauge: .410 bore • Barrel Length: 26 inches • Choke: Factory CYLINDER (rare) • Stock: Pistol grip • Length of Pull: 14 inches • Drop at Comb: 1½ inches • Drop at Heel: 2½ inches • Cast: Neutral • Front Bead: Brass • Finish: Approximately 80% original blue remaining Condition This Winchester Model 42 remains in solid, shootable condition with attractive vintage character. Bluing is approximately 80% and shows even, honest wear. The wood is sound with typical handling marks expected for its age. The action cycles smoothly, and the factory CYLINDER choke is clean, sharp, and unaltered. All rollmarks are clear, and the gun presents as a well-cared-for, original example. Collector & Shooting Notes Factory CYLINDER choke Model 42s are significantly less common than their Modified or Full choke counterparts. In the .410 platform, a Cylinder choke provides a broader and more forgiving pattern—valued for close upland hunting, farm use, and recreational clays. Collectors appreciate these unusual original configurations as they represent deviations from standard production and are more difficult to find in authentic condition. Produced from 1933 to 1963, the Winchester Model 42 has long been regarded as one of Winchester’s most iconic pump-action designs. Unique choke markings, desirable barrel lengths, and original finishes greatly influence collector appeal, making this example especially attractive. Summary A rare factory-configuration Winchester Model 42 with a scarce CYLINDER choke, solid original finish, and excellent handling characteristics. This example is ideal for collectors seeking variations not commonly found on the market, as well as shooters who appreciate the superb craftsmanship and performance of the classic Model 42.   Price: $1,999.00 Shotgun Gauge: .410 Gauge Manufacturer: Winchester Model: Model 42 Barrel Length: 26 Condition: Excellent Metal Condition: Excellent Wood Condition: Excellent Bore Condition: Excellent Action: Pump Triggers: Single Stock Comb: 1 1/2 Stock Heel: 2 1/2 LOP: 14 Sights: Brass Bead Chokes: Factory CYLINDER Item Location: Michigan
