Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Original Model 42 first appeared in May 1933. It dominated skeet ranges almost from the time it was introduced and went on to become one of the most popular shotguns in America. Browning's Model 42 is virtually identical to the original model with all the features, feel, and performance that made the Winchester Model 42 famous. The Model 42 had close ties to Browning's founder, John Browning. He sold his first repeating shotgun design to Winchester in 1886 (the lever action model 1887). It was followed by two Browning-designed pumps: Winchester Models 93 and 97. In 1910, Winchester designers took the best features of the 97 and incorporated them into the Model 12 and, later, the Model 42.

This Browning Model 42 High Grade pump action shotgun in .410 gauge was manufactured in Japan by Miroku in 1991. This Model 42 High Grade (Limited Edition Grade V) features a 26" vent rib barrel, chambered for 2 1/2" and 3" shells, and has a fixed full choke. Only manufactured for three years, from 1991 to 1993. The Model 42 was only available in .410 and came in two grades, a field grade and a high grade. The field grade had rather plain grained satin finished wood, and the metal was non engraved and standard finish. The high grade had a much nicer grained wood, more elaborate checkering, and a detailed gold engraving featuring a duck hunt scene.
