winchester model 42
Hello to all. I am new to the forum and would appreciate some help from the experts on a Model 42. This is a fairly nice shotgun with a 26 inch barrel marked "full". The strange thing to me is it has a full length ventilated rib. By full length the rib extends all the way from the tip of the muzzel accross the receiver to the small extention at the rear of the receiver. The rib is really well done. How about it?

had a model 42 shipped in yesterday. it came disassembled. when trying to re-assemble the gun would not go back together. an examination showed the extractor is not letting the bbl seat fully into the reciever. also the cycle lever has no tension and i am unable to move the bolt. any and all ideas how i can fix this is appreciated. 0 -

You might be best served by a good gunsmith then if you are not adept with the take down and assembly of the Model 42. However, you might want to familiarize yourself with this plus the correct terminology and discussion at the following links and try to fix the problem: (I could take pictures of the take down and assembly procedures and post them for you, but you might be better served with this instead.)
