Contrary to popular opinion, there are six pound 20 gauges and 7 pound 12 gauges. I have had both and have been trying to buy back the 20 gauge for about that many years. I bought it from Norman Strebe in Washington, D.C. for $650 and got greedy and doubled my money a few years later. It's probably the sweetest little double trigger 21 anyone could own.

Default Model 21

Everybody is correct about the Tank feature and bank Vault. Model 21 was my first venture into fine SXS. Bought a Skeet Gun from Les Freer in Houston and had the custom Shop refinish when they were still around. I became friends with shop foreman Bruno Pardee. Complete job cost me $650. The gun had a vent rib with 26" tubes and pistol grip. Built in 1949. I shot everything from ducks to doves with it. I wanted it so bad I went to the bank and took out a personal loan to buy the gun. Damn I would give anything to have it back. Of course I traded it but back to Freer for a George Ulrich #6 engraved 20 ga skeet gun which I sold years later and tripled my money . Of course today I would have 5x my money. Why do we keep trading???? We obviously need Therapy.

Have 2 M21’s 12 and 20 gauge both 2 barrel sets and I’ve used Galazan and Gunsmithing, Ltd. (Southport, CT) for work including spot rebluing, cleaning and barrel fitting. Had Galazan convert manual safety to auto too. Top quality from both businesses and jobs completed before due date and to my satisfaction.

Because the 21’s barrel are made of Chrome Moly steel, are they safe with steel shot??

A good wood man can replace that chip with a near matching piece of wood and make the repair about invisible.

If it were my gun I would go this route keeping it as original as possible.
