Joe, can you explain to me the love you chaps the other side of the pond have for this model ? I dont know how it handles but it is sinfully ugly, JMHO. And the prices ? best, Mike
As a person that has a love of English and M21, I will try to explain. First they are polar opposites as mentioned earlier. The attributes we hate on an English gun, the beatvertail, the pistol grip, the single trigger, a ventilated rib, look right at home on it. It works, and in the smaller bores can be quite racey. WS1 and WS2 are probably the finest shotgun choke borings known to man for all around upland bird shooting. I'd walk through a minefield for an original M21-20 ga that was straight grip, checkered but, vent rib 28" WS1, WS2 and I am sure many other M21 fans would do the same.
Its a Corvette in a world of Aston Martins and Morgans.
postscript: The rust blueing on M21 barrel is perfection, don't know where people are coming up that they are to shiny
