My 20- gauge Skeet model has 2 sets of 28" barrels. Both come in at 6-10

James, I've never been tempted by the 21, but that one would make me weak if it came up for sale. Nice weight for carrying on long hunts, some cast off(!), and...(drumroll!), two triggers!!!

Are you sure that's a 21?

Congratulations on a fine gun and a nice bird taken with it.

Be very careful of the power of the dark side. You may shoot a 21 better than anything you own.

This one appears to be similar to James' Model 21!

I saw that gun a while back, that's very light for a 28 inch model 21. It's too high and too long lop for me. But for the right guy I'm sure it would work great.

My 16-gauge 21 2-barrel set has a relatively low s/n in the 67xx range. Skeet Grade stamp with independent safety. Both barrel sets are 28-inch and they weigh 6-15 and 7-0. Factory chokes Skeet 1 & 2 and I-Mod & Full. 1-7/16 by 2-1/4 by 14-1/4" over the WRA HRBP. Cody states the original order sheet isn't available but shows the second/tighter barrel set was fitted in December 1944. She's one of my two favorite 16's.

James, I also share your fondness for the Model 21. My 20 is a double trigger ejector gun with 26" barrels choked Imp Cyl and Imp Mod weighing 6 lb 2 oz.

Karl that's a very lite gun especially with a recoil pad. They are great guns, Frank's 16ga 2 barrel set is a do anything gun.
