Model 21 Sling swivels

[John Dallas]

A friend wondered into a pawn shop and came on a M21 with sling swivels. Does anyone know if they might be original Winchester? Seems to me that Somewhere in the back of my rapidly failing memory I remember something about M70 Super Grade swivels being used on M21's.

Is that the variety of swivel that is on the pawnshop gun?

Didn't see the gun myself. Apparently the front swivel is drilled and tapped into the lower rib. :cuss:

[Bill Murphy]

Yeah, but are they Super Grade swivels? That might make a bit of a difference.

OK Mea Culpa. I told a little white prevarication. The gun is listed on Guns International (100522049). My friend was looking at two different guns, and finally chose the other, so this one is apparently still available. Seems like a great gun if it didn't have the swivels
