Any 21 Duck owners?

[Michael Muth]

First off, I really want one of these, but can never find them, if you knows where to track them down, let me know! secondly how do you guys like them and what have you found out hunting them? What loads do you use and to what effect? I'd like one for waterfowl when I am in a more groomed environment not banging around my canoe. That's what the Bennli is for!

[Stephen Hodges]

Yes, I have 21 Ducks:)

There are several on the online sites. Gunbroker, Gunsinternational and Gunsamerica. Not the best prices in the world, but they are there

After the beating they took in the opening thread on this forum I cant beleave anyone is asking where they can buy one.

Cabela's in Grandville Michigan has a two barrel set Winchester 12 guage Model 21. Don't remember the price but an easy search in their Gun Library by location. I handled that one and would not trade my Parker for it.

After the beating the 21 took yesterday I threw mine away.

I have one and love it for both clays and duck hunting. Mine is a single trigger with 30" bbls splinter forend and pistol grip. It is murder on ducks with 1 3/8 oz Kent TM. I bought mine at auction.
They have much to offer the waterfowler in my experience and opinion. I enjoying owning and using all the American classics. I will even admit to owning and enjoying LC Smith's on this forum.:rotf:

Wayne, the beating the 3" 21 took on the other thread was the result of posts by those who have never seen or touched one. I think Craig said it all. It's a pretty great gun, just like most 21s.

Thanks Bill. My 21 Duck weighs the same as any of my 2 frame Parkers. They are not clunky handling in my opinion every bit as nice as any of my Parker 12's.. The Winchester full chokes are excellent as is the trigger. A good single trigger is a big plus for late season hunting with gloves. It is a handsome gun but as Bill says it is not a Parker, very nice but very different.

One of my 3" 21s is a pre war "Joe Knapp Club" gun built for Michigan mega gunner Lester Ruwe. It is so petite, I have no idea how the stock has survived almost 80 years of use. It feels like a 20 gauge in your hands. Joe Knapp was a founder of Ducks Unlimited and had a duck club in North Carolina where his ultra rich cronies were conferred membership in the "Joe Knapp Club". Their guns were adorned with gold escutcheons with a bust of Joe Knapp sculpted into the gold.

Morris Hallowell has a decent Duck for sale. Priced well!

[Bill Murphy]

If I were in the market for a 3" Model 21, Hallowell's gun is the one I would buy.

[John Dallas]

Galazan generally has one or two, but he's pretty proud if them

I have a model 21 Duck with 32" barrels and a straight grip made in 1951. I have to say its a great shooting gun. I shoot 2 3/4 ammo in it and have fired 3 inch loads but think the shorter stuff works as well and is a little softer on my shoulder. I was not looking for one and happened to be in a shop that specializes in Black rifles, The owner just got it from a young lad Who was left the gun by his Grandfather. The shop owner was getting his hacksaw out and was going to cut the barrels off and make a coach gun. The only problem I have ever had is I let the forend iron get loose and the wood developed a crack at the little tits near the forend. Its in the shop now being repaired. I use it as a trap gun and for Pheasant hunting. Never took it waterfowling yet.

Sounds like a great gun
