Good ol’ Model 21

[Pay Dirt]

I bought a good ol’ Model 21 Tournament Skeet.
Impossible drops of 1 3/4” x 1 3/4”.
Didn’t seem quite right but then sometimes neither am I.



A whole bunch of dowels in the head and neck from an ancient bending.



It couldn’t be saved. After 6 months it’s my turn on the stockmans bench.
I received these images this evening.

Bobby, I shot Olympic (bunker) trap hard for 10 years with an unmolested Browning Superposed Pigeon Grade Lightning Trap 30" gun that came from the factory with 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 DAC/DAH. Stock was a standard (non-Monte Carlo): straight as an arrow and shot like a house afire!

I remeber quite a few comp guns over the years with similar dimensions. They always shot well for their intended use.

Wow! Very close match in grain to the original stock! What are the measurements going to be now?

If I understand my wife correctly. This is the type of gun that would be suited to a female shooter. A woman's anatomy has less muscle around the collar bone, a slightly longer neck and a higher cheek bone.
With standard drops on a gun, it sits lower on the woman's shoulder and more on the collar bone and more likely to cause a bruise with the recoil.
Now, of course, I'll have to find a model 21 with similar measurements, to test this theory
