Yeah I have to think it was an obstruction but just doesn’t make sense all I could think is a leftover wad and like I say I always do the bore snake. If there had been a wad left in there would that cause this problem ?
No I didn’t notice it at all when it happened. shot the bird, unloaded then cased up the gun

Maybe full choke in those long barrels with the heavy tungsten loads weren't good for it??

A wad would certainly have done that.... or a piece of a twig... or a piece of straw...

I can't see that happening without something being in the barrel. I really like model 21 , you might find a barrel but a 32" one will be hard.

Yeah that’s the answer I keep coming back to.
Do you think having them cut and re-choked would be economically worth it? I would probably be looking to sell it if I did that and try to get another one with the long barrels. I just don’t want to get too upside down on a repair, since cutting barrels Would seriously change the value. But it would make it shootable again I guess. Sort of looking for the next step .

I'd spend some time looking for replacement 32" barrels if it were mine.
You could have the damaged barrels cut back and install thin wall screw-ins after you find replacement barrels. Then you'd have a decent SC gun too. .

Dean is right on those shells I would not shoot any of those in any of my s/s. With that said I don't think they were at fault, there was something in that barrel. I would look for a barrel, they do come up, you may have to settle on a shorter length.
