serial #100570, 410 bore (2 1/2''), 28'' solid rib barrel choked skeet with a bright excellent bore showing some wad residue at the muzzle. The metal surfaces retain about 90% original blue, appearing stronger under ambient light, with light wear on high edges and contact points, some light handling marks, and scattered specks of old oxidation and pinprick pits. The bolt and carrier are bright, showing a few light pits. The checkered capped pistolgrip custom walnut stock is in excellent condition with a light ding and handling mark or two, it is nicely checkered and shows attractive grain figure; the checkered forend is in very good plus to near excellent condition with an easily missed repaired 1/4'' crack on the right rear, some light handling marks, and an older nice added finish. The Winchester markings are intact and largely clear, parts of the barrel address and the choke mark lightly softened, the barrel shows a properly offset ''WP'' proof with corresponding proof on the receiver, the barrel is ''49'' dated, and the receiver extension is numbered to the gun. The shotgun is sighted with a lone brass bead. An attractive early 1950's Model 42 for the smallbore Winchester enthusiast. (14B11523-11) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (2500/3500)
