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. The gun shipped originally with the 26” barrels choked WS1 and WS2. Many do not know that the WS2 left barrel choke is tighter than IC at .010 constriction. These are the ultimate chokes for upland hunting in the thick stuff for grouse, or in the open over dogs for pheasants, quail, and other western birds. The gun is in excellent condition throughout, with perfect mechanics and screws. 99% barrel and trigger guard blue, 99% receiver blue, single selective trigger, ejectors, and nicely finished figured wood…all make for a very special Model 21. The gun’s barrels are tight on the breech face and hinge pin like a new gun, top lever slightly to the right, no cracks in the wood, excellent checkering and wood to metal fit. Most of the Model 21 Skeet guns that shipped with checkered butts have been altered, ie. stocks cut and recoil pads added. This lowers the value of such guns significantly. This gun still is configured just the way she left the factory. You will note in the Cody Firearms Museum information sheet that the gun was returned to the factory in 1965 for refurbishing and received the new style diamond checkered forend at that time. The gun is priced right for such a unique and desirable Model 21 that will make the ultimate upland gun for you this season and do you well on the clays course as well. What a classic Winchester we have here, without flaw, and a great investment quality gun. If you like, we can custom fit a case to the gun, add the Winchester trade label, snap caps, oil bottle, and cleaning accessories to make for an awesome presentation and storage case for your fine Winchester. Just ask for a quote for the case. Thanks for looking!
