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.
