If that is correct, then the timing would explain why the tooling for the Model 21 was sold and why USRAC(FN) may have wanted to get out of the Model 21 business.

As to your question "So, if Ms. Muerrle is correct, is this over-the-top Winchester Model 21 Grand Royal that CSMC has advertised a non-authentic Winchester---and thus a fake?"

This certainly is not a Winchester Grand Royal manufactured by The Custom Shop whether operated under the Winchester or USRAC management. The rest is up to your interpretation.-Dick
