There are Scads & Scads of us shooters out here who have received many, many years of pleasure from some of those guns which didn't stand up to all those Blue Pills & frankly we don't really care whether Olin liked them or not. There are bunches & bunches of them which I wouln't trade even for one of them 21's if'en I had to keep it & use it, much less pay the inflated price for one of them.
OK- fair point, Suh. I would rather have a Ithaca 12 NID than a Model21 in 12 gauge- same barrel length, chokes, trigger(s) and ejectors-- As the NID is as strong as the M21 and not as waaaay over priced as the M21, IMO. But now John Olin. You live in the volunteer State- ever heard of Nash Buckingham? Sure you have. He and John were best friends. Do you have a fine bird dog or two perhaps? Thank John Olin for all the millions he donated to the Cornell Veterinary School of Medicine in his lifetime- so your English pointer will stay healthy and be your best friend afield after buuurds- as well as by your hearthside at home--Anything associated with John Olin is a good thing, even the overrated M21 he championed..
