10 Gauge, A View from the Past

M21's are IMHO great guns

[Foxgun]

I acquired a M21 duck a few years ago. Bought it because it was in like new condition and it is great gun. Didn't enter in to my decision to buy it but it happened to come with Briley tubes in 20ga, 28 and .410. I've had more fun shooting it at clays with those small gauge tubes after duck season was over for the year.

I've not had an overabundance of them in my hands . But all the 12's felt a touch on the bulky side to me . I had a 16 gauge skeet with 26" barrels straight grip and a semi BT forend that felt wonderfull . We had it at the shop for work and I tried more then a little to get it away from the owner .

We have a 21 12 gauge skeet with a straight grip single trigger and a BT forend in the shop now . It doesn't feel bad but it doesn't feel great (to me) either .

Yep. I have a long range and a super fox.

Model 21s are the most bland looking of the America doubles but I love mine

We had one in the shop for repair that was a post 64 from the custom shop . It was profusely engraved a a fair amount of good inlay . When it was time to test fire I volunteered just so I could say I’d shot a 21 from the custom shop lols !

I always felt the same way, but early this year I acquired a very early 30” dt, splinter, pg Model 21. I simply cannot miss with it. It does feel heavy, until I throw it up.....zero learning curve with this gun....

I had a Remington Model 32 12 gauge 26” solid rib skeet and skeet I never missed a skeet bird with . Now to be honest I only shot 250 shots with it and only 50 or so at a time . But I sold it to my gunsmith buddy before I could miss with it LOL’s !

That is just what I have. I think 1934 production, 30" bbls, splinter fore end and double triggers.
