12 gauge, 24" barrel, S/N 1226 (mfg. ca Jan. 1940). Blued finish, checkered pistol gripped stock. The Model 40 used the same 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. A limited number of Skeet guns featuring a checkered pistol grip stock and forearm, a rubber pistol grip cap, and a special barrel with an integral shoulder forged on the muzzle end for the attachment of a Cutts Compensator were produced. This gun has an early compensator with 12 vents. Condition: Very good condition. Nearly all of the finish is intact with some wear on receiver and moving parts. Stock has some dents and marks consistent with use. Bore very good.
