well
since they both mount to the same frame - therefore the the smaller bore will likely have more meat at the breech to match up

Beautiful set, what brand of knife is that with it??

Retirement sure is boring isn't it Shawn..Hard to find things to do. I spent the day catching jumbo bluegills, here are a few. Catch and release to hot grease.

The knife is a custom build by J Taber of Minnesota. I have a couple of his and his dad’s...his dad is a dentist turned knife maker! They make great slip joints!

These multiple gauge sets are very nice. What length barrels?

Nice Model 21!

First generation .410 Model 21s were quite heavy. I would love to own one of the originals or get one of my 20 gauges fixed up with .410 barrels at Galazans. Your retirement gun is beautiful.

Congratulations Shawn on the retirement and the very nice 2 barrel set. I bought two straight grip 21's last week as a retirement gift as well. The 16 is a two barrel set deluxe grade 26" ws1 and ws2, and 28 M/F. The second gun is a 20 ga.that is cut to 27" and is M/IM. It was a bundle deal that came from an old friend. I was mainly interested in the 16 but that 20 really throws great patterns and whoever shortened the barrels did an excellent job. Mine are not as nicely conditioned but will be nice shooters. I didn't need them but the deal was too good to pass up and the straight grips were a bonus for me.

Congrats to you too Tom. I bought a 16 21 as well but just sent it to CSMC to have the trigger redone and have a leather pad placed on it. I'll post a picture of the 16 below.
