Nice gun James. I can't see it clearly but this one appears to have the early style forend release that Winchester thought should be done away with. I have always liked that release. Cool gun.

Very nice with NK engraving.
I'd imagine it's an early 30's gun.
Do you suppose it was engraved then or perhaps at a latter date?

Nice gun James, thanks for posting. A question since I like 21's myself and have never seen a M21 factory original "Cylinder" choke. Are your barrels stamped Cyl and Mod, and if so, does the Cylinder choke have zero, or a few thou of constriction?
