This weekend I had the pleasure of working on a shotgun I had never seen before. Now I really love my Winchester pumps, in 12ga, but a co worker brought her husbands Winchester to me. It was a Model 42 Standard Grade Pump. I, in my 30 years of gunsmithing had never even seen one much less smithed on one. This one was completely disassembled as her husband decided to take it upon himself to do so.....then realized he did not know how to put it back together. The cool factor for me was that it was a Winchester pump, in .410, something that I have never seen anywhere. Oh I have seen quite a few single shots, over and under's and even a few semi auto's in .410, but not a pump. The gun was in excellent shape for its age. After inspecting all the parts I cleaned, lubed and reassembled the gun and put 4 rounds through it. Just like my two 12ga. guns, the action was silky smooth and ran like a Singer Sewing Machine. The gun was in what I consider to be 90% on the blueing and wood finish. I told the owner that if he ever got a wild hair to sell it I would like to have it and would give him a more than fair amount for it.......fingers crossed that he will part with it!!! I apologize but I did not take any pictures of it.
