why is my Fox a Parker?

[Bill Murphy]

I have a Model 21 with a snap on forend, but by 1930, I think all the forend attachment drama was over. But then, why didn't Winchester stay with the snap forend if it could have saved them some money. The Model 21 was a $57.50 gun, or less, at its introduction. Saving a buck or two on each gun would have meant something.

I have never seen a model 21 with a snap on forearm? I know the early ones had a slightly different release.
