This was the first slide-action ever developed exclusively for the .410 bore. Referred to by many as "Everybody's Sweetheart" this model was invented by William Roemer. The Model 42 is in effect, at least in outward appearance, a miniature Model 12. Features a single bead barrel sight, 3 inch chamber, full choke, a grooved forearm and plain pistol-grip stock with a black plastic Winchester buttplate. Manufactured in late 1961.

Excellent. 95% of the finish remains with some thinning and several small areas of touch-up over light spotting on the left side of the receiver and overall light scratches. The barrel retains 98% of the blue finish with scattered minor scratches and light wear on the right rear of the barrel from cycling the action. The wood is also excellent with only a few very minor dings on the forearm, and some varnish deterioration on the stock at the action. The box is good.
