Model 24's are not in any list of classic American doubles. At least, none I have seen

If I were stranded in the woods and could have only one gun it would be a 24. Not only could I shoot, I could also paddle water, drives stakes, and dig in rocky soil with it.

The snorkel idea isn't as far out as you might think. A duck hunter got caught on the mud flats near Anchorage years back. Feet stuck solid and the bore tide started coming in. Someone got to him with a boat but couldn't pull him out; a rescue helicopter was called. By the time the helo arrived, a Hughey I think, the hunter was totally submerged and breathing through the boat guys shotgun barrel. They tied onto him with the heli and tried to gently pull him out... no luck. They pulled him in half in the effort. Pretty gruesome I'm sure. He is only one of many who have gotten stuck in those flats on foot and been drowned by the bore tide.

I can't see anyway for a 26 inch barreled gun that weighs 8LBS being "svelte", not in my wildest dreams. My BHE 30 inch Pigeon gun is only slightly more than 8LBS on a #2 frame.

Back in about 1977, I was offered a Model 21 Duck Gun for $500.00.
Once I saw it I passed, that sucker rattled! It didn't latch tightly and was off face to boot. It was the loosest one I ever held.

I have owned and shot a Model 21 in both 16 and 20 gauge. But not for long

I didn't know just how Bad these 21's were, but just to show you I am a team player. I am offering 15 cents on the dollar for all 12 gauge 21's, and 18 cents on the dollar for all sub-gauges. If you are more inclined to trades I have some Cresents I will trade straight across the board. I reserve the right to limit my buying to 25 guns.
