I've got two - a 12 and a two barrel set 20. I love 'em. Robert Kolesar has a copy of Schwing's M21 book for sale on the site now. Price seems good, and it's a fountain of knowledge

Don't know a lot about 21s but I do know that double trigger/splinter guns aren't found often and they are normally earlier guns. All model 21s are built like a tank and you can normally feel that bulk when you carry one in the field very long. I think more people shot trap and skeet with them than used them as field guns. My opinion only.

Mark I actually had that same gun that I carried around at the Southern for a couple of hours trying to sell and then I got busy shooting and put it up. It had been refinished and restocked with modern wood though. Enjoy it, they can take almost anything you can get in them, real tanks ...

A guy I know on another site just told me that the forend latch on this gun was only used for the first year, and part of the second year of production because shooters complained that under recoil, the little knurled rocker knob could be operated and cause the forend to detach.
I have never been much interested in 21's because they look a little clunky to me personally, and they seem really expensive generally, so I don't know if I will keep this gun or not. I bought it VERY right. Now if it had been a 16 or a 20, there might be a different story!

I believe this is a pre-1933 Model 21 since the barrel markings are on the top of the barrels "Model 21 Winchester -12 gauge" and the other barrel with the patent dates. Around 1933 the barrel stamps were moved to the side of the barrel.
I have a similar gun three digit serial number. I love mine. Patterns wonderfully. And no.... it is not bulky either. It is my go to gun when I want to beat the NH boys in sporting clays. M21 double trigger / splinter forend have a cult like following. |

Mark,
My meat gun is a 1936 Mdl 21 20 Ga weighing 6lb 1oz from the factory. It has 26" barrels with factory Imp Cyl & Imp Mod chokes, DT, Splinter and ejectors. I haven't had the first problem with it so far. I do agree with Reggie that the majority of 21's I've handled especially in a 20 ga have been a tad heavier than I want to carry at 6 3/4 - 7 lbs. I hope you enjoy shooting some rounds thru your new 21. Regards, Karl |
