Description:
General Specs: Winchester, Year 1947, 16 Gauge, 6lbs 13oz, Chokes M/F, LOP 13 7/8", DAH 2 1/8", DAC 1 5/8"

When John Olin wanted to have title to the strongest side by side shotgun in the world, he went to work and got it done. The Model 21 is an American icon with a well-deserved reputation. A handsome gun built with the finest steels, gunners in the know have utilized this Winchester in the field and at the club to shoot thousands of rounds without failure. IF YOU LIKE HEAVY LOADS FOR PHEASANTS OR OTHER TOUGH GAME, THIS IS THE GUN. FOR THOSE THAT SHOOT HIGH VOLUME BIRDS OR CLAYS, THIS IS YOUR GUN! With only 30,000 produced (compared to 250,000 Parkers!), any high condition Model 21 is a valuable, investment quality firearm. Search the internet and you will see lots of 12ga. guns for sale. Sixteen-gauge M21’s were made in fewer numbers than the 20ga. guns, so finding Model 21 guns in 16ga. is not an easy task. When you do, they are usually 26” barreled guns with skeet chokes. Most that you see have been restored with modern finishes that look like the receiver has been painted black and not done to factory specifications. This M21 16ga. special order Field Grade, sn14747 made in 1947, is a bit different, as it has factory ventilated rib 28” barrels choked M/F and the barrels and receiver have all factory finishes. The English style stock and splinter forend provide the classic upland bird gun that is racy to look at and a pleasure to carry over hill and dale. The combination of the 28” field choked barrels, vent rib, splinter forend, English stock, single selective trigger, and ejectors make for a very rare configured Model 21. I have never seen another like it. These details are what make this gun different from many being offered for sale. Some gunners like the gun with the natural look, a gun that has been carried but well cared for. That is how I would describe this gun, with 98% factory blue on all metal, and a beautiful hand-rubbed oil finish on the wood. THIS IS A VFI CERTIFIED GUN WITH A 90 DAY MECHANICAL WARRANTY. Our gunsmiths stripped the action and forend parts to the smallest part, Ultrasonic cleaned all to remove sludge and grime, inspected each part for function and integrity, lubricated all and reassembled. The gun is mechanically perfect with well-timed ejectors, single selective trigger, barrels tight on the breech face and hinge pin like a new gun, screws all excellent, no cracks in the wood, perfect checkering and wood to metal fit. The gun is priced right for such a unique and desirable Model 21 that will make the ultimate pheasant gun for you this coming season. Thanks for looking!
