Any Model 21 Experts?

[StubTwist]

I believe this is a pre-1933 Model 21 since the barrel markings are on the top of the barrels "Model 21 Winchester -12 gauge" and the other barrel with the patent dates. Around 1933 the barrel stamps were moved to the side of the barrel.

I have a similar gun three digit serial number. I love mine. Patterns wonderfully. And no.... it is not bulky either. It is my go to gun when I want to beat the NH boys in sporting clays. M21 double trigger / splinter forend have a cult like following.

Mark,

My meat gun is a 1936 Mdl 21 20 Ga weighing 6lb 1oz from the factory. It has 26" barrels with factory Imp Cyl & Imp Mod chokes, DT, Splinter and ejectors. I haven't had the first problem with it so far.

I do agree with Reggie that the majority of 21's I've handled especially in a 20 ga have been a tad heavier than I want to carry at 6 3/4 - 7 lbs.

I hope you enjoy shooting some rounds thru your new 21.

Regards, Karl
