Winchester 21

[David]

I thought this would be interesting I have a 20 ga 21 that i think a lot of and i like to use for dove and grouse it was made in 1938 and bought at marshall fields in chicago Dec of 38 But I all so have a late remington parker vhe 16 ga made in 1938 also that gives the squirrels and rabbits a hard time and i hope to pass these to my daughter one day and i hope that is a very long time I must say i have enjoyed this but i do have a soft spot for vintage american double guns

Dave, if I make the shoot this spring, I will bring my 16 ga 21 and let you have a go with it.

[Autumn Daze]

Steve, Thanks I may take you up on that. I would like to have a go with it on the 5 stand.

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.

My 21 12ga doubled twice on me this year on opening duck hunting. I was shooting Kent tungsten matrix 11/4 oz loads. Man, was that an eye opener and a jaw shaker. I was very disappointed in the gun. Gunsmith said there was nothing broken,but he inards were pretty gunked up. hoped for better from a 21.
