The blue finish of the Model 42 adds to its timeless appeal, with a smooth walnut stock and ribbed forearm providing both style and a comfortable grip during use. The pump-action design ensures reliable cycling, while the white bead front and mid sights make quick target acquisition easy, even in low light conditions. A noteworthy feature of this particular model is the stamp on the left side of the vent rib reading "Simmons Gun Specialty Co., Kansas City, MO.", suggesting aftermarket work or enhancement, which was common for these shotguns. As one of the most celebrated shotguns in its class, the Model 42 remains an iconic representation of Winchester's craftsmanship, and its continued popularity amongst hunters, especially for duck and turkey hunting in timbered areas, solidifies its place as "The Greatest Little Shotgun." Whether used for the field or displayed in a collection, the Model 42’s legacy is likely to endure for generations.
