Model 21's are great shotguns! They're just a horse of a different color which IMO shouldn't be compared in this instance when the barrel lug mechanical attachments are so different from each other.
The better comparison in my mind is comparing repro's to original Parkers. Original Parker barrel lugs were brazed, why didn't the contracted Winchester factory in Japan use the same method? If they had done so, we might not be having this conversation about a lug coming loose on this set of repro barrels.
