Winchester Model 40
Does anyone else love these old war clubs like I do ? I own several in Skeet Grade and Field Grade all as they came from the factory. They are in excellent condition and contrary to the internet slander these shotguns receive they shoot just fine. Recently I viewed one that might be a factory pigeon grade, it had a pigeon engraved in the outer trigger guard and the stock had a slightly fancier cut, also the barrel was redlined, and the Cutts compensator had a spreader. Its serial number is in the 11XXX range. The owner to their knowledge claim it is a factory model. It just might be, then again it just might not be. Any other Model 40 groupies feel free to add your input.

Can anyone tell me why the model 40 had such a short lived production era? (1939-1942)What problems did it have? 0 -
Few and far between. I've seen at the most 1/2 dozen, over the last 25 years. I'd venture that most folks, except hard core Winchester shotgun freaks. Have even a clue, about them.
Do to the W W II, and functioning problems, production was curtailed. You might have better luck, on a shotgun specific forum. Owning 2, factory original, and in excellent condition, is a achievement.0
