Jack O'Connor had very good things to say about them. Of course he also liked 21's, so you may question his taste. smile

Interesting that John Olin's company developed the 3 1/2" 10ga magnum shell . . . but, rather than making the big guns as Model 21's, with their reputation for strength, Olin went to Lou Smith at Ithaca. The first 10ga mags were NID's. Says something about the strength of the action.

Dustin, I've heard more than one wood guy cuss an Elsie. Interestingly, I was exchanging emails with one just the other day, and he had similar sentiments about the sideplated Lefevers.
