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.  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 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.  This PRE-WAR MODEL 21, sn9811 produced in 1939, shows incredible workmanship and desirable features rarely found in other M21 guns.  The combination of single selective trigger, ejectors, and beavertail forend are common features.  Having a light weight of 6lbs. 7oz., a factory straight grip, and still retaining the original checkered butt sets this gun apart from most that are heavy and wearing an aftermarket butt pad.  The SK1 and SK2 (SK2 has .010 constriction, slightly tighter than Improved Cylinder) chokes, English grip, and lightweight make this Model 21 THE ULTIMATE UPLAND BIRD GUN.  And of course, she will be spectacular at the clays course as well.  See specifications below.  The gun is in beautiful condition with 98% blue remaining on the metal and 100% hand-rubbed oil finish applied by Vintage Firearms, Inc.  THIS IS A VFI CERTIFIED GUN, MEANING WE HAVE STRIPPED THE ACTION AND FOREND IRON, PUT ALL PARTS THROUGH THE ULTRASONIC CLEANER, INSPECTED ALL PARTS FOR FIT AND FUNCTION, PROPERLY LUBRICATED AND REASSEMBLE THE GUN, A $400 SERVICE IN OUR SHOP.  All VFI certified guns carry a 90-day mechanical warranty.  Who else offers that kind of guarantee?  The gun is now ready for another 84 years of service.  The price is right, and the gun will always be an appreciating asset as you enjoy its use.  Thanks for looking!
