There were some early Lefevers with the recessed hinge pin, and several of the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. doubles had a slightly recessed hinge pin.
There was just a bit of drama over Parker Bros. Trojan Grade's forearm fastening -- 233527 02.jpg 233527 04.jpg being a patent infringement of the A.H. Fox Gun Co.'s Patent No. 1,029,374 granted to J.C. Kremer & A.H. Fox on June 11, 1912. After the A.H. Fox Gun Co. quit using the Baker J-spring forearm on their The Sterlingworth Company guns, and the Sterlingworth became an A.H. Fox Gun Co. gun, they went to using the J.C. Kremer & A.H. Fox forearm fastening on their extractor Sterlingworths and their extractor small-bores of all grades. 200158 01.jpg They used their F.T. Russell Patent No. 1,029,229 forearm fastening on their ejector Sterlingworths and their ejector small-bores of all grades. 200067-06.jpg 200067-07.jpg Several decades ago, before I was quite so focused on this historical minutia, Babe DelGrego showed me a file of letters he had between Parker Bros. and A.H. Fox Gun Co. about this. Unfortunately I don't recall any details of the letters, but we know that the A.H. Fox eventually quit using their J.C. Kremer & A.H. Fox type fastening and went to using the F.T. Russel style on both extractor and ejector guns. 94509 03.jpg 94509 04.jpg |

I have a Model 21 with a snap on forend, but by 1930, I think all the forend attachment drama was over. But then, why didn't Winchester stay with the snap forend if it could have saved them some money. The Model 21 was a $57.50 gun, or less, at its introduction. Saving a buck or two on each gun would have meant something.

I have never seen a model 21 with a snap on forearm? I know the early ones had a slightly different release.

Don't know the proper term, but I find the roller-type latch on my M21's awkward

The model 21 latch is different and it takes getting used too.
