I think a good welder could fix those barrels to be shootable again...might not be easy to hide the weld completely...and you can cut the barrels and have screw in chokes put in....some times these things just happen no way of knowing what went wrong... anyway good luck on the fix....charlie

Do you recommend anyone as a welder? Didn't really think this was possible. Looks don't really concern me as much on this gun.

I don't think any good welder would want to put his name on a project like that ! If you know what I mean JMHO !

In 1957 Winchester's heavy 3" 12ga load was 1 5/8oz standard was 1 3/8oz. Your model 21 was most likely made around then or before. Those new Long Beard shells had I think 1 7/8oz plus buffer . Hope they had nothing to do with blow-up but it's a thought.
