Most double gun enthusiasts are aware of the reputation earned by the Winchester Model 21; a gun of superior strength and mechanical genius created under the micro management of John Olin himself. With only 32,000 produced (compared to 250,000 Parkers!), any high condition Model 21 is a valuable, investment quality firearm sure to appreciate as you enjoy its use. From 1930 to 1980 they only made about 2900 twenty-gauge guns in all grades, most of them weighing well over 6 3/4lbs., many over 7lbs. To find a Model 21 20ga. that weighs in at just 6lbs. 7oz. is an event. Anybody who walks long distances in the field appreciates a lighter gun by the end of the day. Model 21's are fully capable of shooting the most powerful loads available, SO IF YOU LIKE MAGNUM LOADS FOR PHEASANTS, DUCKS, OR OTHER TOUGH GAME, THIS IS YOUR GUN (we can make it a 3” chamber safely in our gunsmith shop). This gun, sn6157 produced around 1935 shows incredible workmanship and desirable features rarely found in other M21 guns. The combination of double triggers, ejectors, and beavertail forend, light weight, and factory Cyl/M chokes clearly demonstrate its intended use…THE ULTIMATE M21 UPLAND BIRD GUN. This gun has seen little use, retaining FACTORY FINISHES on all metal and wood, including 99% barrel blue, 95% receiver blue, and 99% trigger guard blue. The wood is nicely figured as shipped from the factory. The Cody Firearms Museum records are scant with information but does indicate that this gun was factory restored in 1944, including a new buttstock. The gun is ready for another 84 years of service. This is an extremely desirable Model 21 20 ga. if you are an upland hunter. The gun has condition, double triggers, field chokes, and is likely the only so configured Winchester Model 21 you will see in a very long time. The price is right and the gun will always be an appreciating asset as you enjoy its use. Thanks for looking!
