Description:
General Specs: Winchester, Year 1957, 16 Gauge, 6lb 9oz, Chokes IC/M, LOP 14 1/8", DAH 2 5/8", DAC 1 5/8"
Serial Number: 28918
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 millions 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! HARD NON-TOXIC? NO PROBLEM. With only 30,000 produced (compared to 250,000 Parkers!), any factory original high condition Model 21 is a valuable, investment quality firearm. Search the internet and you will see lots of 12ga. guns for sale, as most of the 30,000 made were 12ga. guns. Sixteen-gauge M21’s were made in fewer numbers than the 20ga. guns, so finding original Model 21 guns in 16ga. is not an easy task. 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. sn28918, made in 1957, is a bit different, as it has 26” barrels field choked IC/M (as specified in the accompanying Cody Museum info sheet), a factory buttplate (rather than the all-too-common pad), and it has 99% factory finishes on all metal and 98% factory finish on the wood. The stock has highly figured factory wood with matching figure on both sides of the stock and great stock dimensions. THIS IS A VFI CERTIFIED GUN, HAVING BEEN STRIPPED TO THE SMALLEST PARTS, ULTRASONIC CLEANED, EACH PART INSPECTED FOR INTEGRITY AND FUNCTION, LUBRICATED AND REASSEMBLED. VFI CERTIFIED GUNS HAVE A 90 DAY MECHANICAL WARRANTY AND WILL HAVE NO EXPENSIVE SURPRISES…JUST READY FOR DECADES OF USE. These details are what make this gun different from many being offered for sale. 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 an all-original Model 21 with excellent ORIGINAL CONDITION, NOT RESTORED LIKE THE REST OF THEM YOU SEE. What a fantastic upland gun for the tough pheasants you will encounter in the west, ie South Dakota, Kansas, North Dakota, Montana…the season is upon us and this is your gun! IF you need #4 magnum shot for pheasants or want to shoot any non-toxic modern shells, magnums or otherwise, for waterfowl, you can do that in this Model 21 with its IC/M chokes. Any 2 ¾” shells you care to feed this gun, it can handle. You don’t see many like this one, so don’t miss out! Thanks for looking.
