12 gauge, 23" barrel, S/N 2516 (mfg. ca 1940). Blued finish, walnut stock. The Model 40 used the same basic operating system as the Model 1911 and suffered from many of the same defects. It was only produced for a couple of years, and Winchester would give a new Model 12 to anyone who returned a Model 40. Most Model 40s were standard field guns. This Model 40 is slightly later than the Model 40 Skeet offered in this auction, as its Cutts Compensator has 6 vents rather than 12. Condition: Good condition. Most of the original finish remains with some wear on raised surfaces and working parts. Stock has some dents and marks consistent with age and use. Bore good.
