Thanks Charlie...after 18 years of being a small business owner we decided to sell our practice before the tax hikes started in 2021. No I can focus on hunting and fishing

Very nice Shawn and in my favorite gauge the 28. Enjoy your retirement. A smallbore M21 is on my wishlist in the near future.

Beautiful gun Shawn!! May you break many clays and down many birds with that set up. BTW. HAPPY RETIREMENT!!

These multiple gauge sets are very nice. What length barrels?

Congratulations Shawn on the retirement and the very nice 2 barrel set. I bought two straight grip 21's last week as a retirement gift as well. The 16 is a two barrel set deluxe grade 26" ws1 and ws2, and 28 M/F. The second gun is a 20 ga.that is cut to 27" and is M/IM. It was a bundle deal that came from an old friend. I was mainly interested in the 16 but that 20 really throws great patterns and whoever shortened the barrels did an excellent job. Mine are not as nicely conditioned but will be nice shooters. I didn't need them but the deal was too good to pass up and the straight grips were a bonus for me.

Congrats to you too Tom. I bought a 16 21 as well but just sent it to CSMC to have the trigger redone and have a leather pad placed on it. I'll post a picture of the 16 below.

Nice Model 21!

First generation .410 Model 21s were quite heavy. I would love to own one of the originals or get one of my 20 gauges fixed up with .410 barrels at Galazans. Your retirement gun is beautiful.

This is the 16 model 21. It’s gonna be my woodcock gun for next year...it’s IC/M with 26” barrels
