Winchester 21

[Bill Murphy]

Not only are stripped down 20 gauge Model 21s often about 6 1/4 pounds, the Duck Model is usually only about 7 3/4 pounds. Unlike the Model 12 Duck, the Model 21 Duck is equipped with the same barrels as the standard field gun. I have had factory 3" Model 21s as light as 7 1/2 pounds. A friend in my gun club owns a 28" 20 gauge Model 21 that weighs 6 pounds 4 ounces on the nose. It is an early gun with splinter forend, double triggers, and extractors. I sold it to him for next to nothing back in the day when a double trigger non ejector Model 21 was not a popular gun.

I have a 20 gauge skeet grade M21 with two sets of barrels (3" chambers), large Hession beavertail forearm and pistol grip. With the 26" barrels the gun weighs 6# 10oz. With the longer 28" barrels, the gun is 7# even.
