I looked at this early M21- DT-Ext- on our return trip from Gettysburg PA, Mae and I stopped in at the Cabela's Dundee shop- and of course, I went right to the gun library- I looked over this older M21- lotsa honest field wear- scratches on forearm, buttstock, blueing wear- but in spite of the Bass-Ackwards Blow Shop trigger lock policy, I could open the action and check the bores- looked good, also removed the forearm, and just as on my 12 M21 with 28" barrels, the chokes were marked on the barrel flats- right barrel-front trigger- cyl. (no choke) left barrel-rear trigger- mod, choke- maybe a good quail and woodcock gun, if you like carrying a 7 lb. gun through the grouse coverts-

I also was able to go over a late (I-H) M1 Garand- SA code on the barrel- a re-manufactured armory Garand- bore was fine, no P for proof mark on the pg-- and no inspectors cartouche- stock looked like new, except for rear handguard- asking $16OO-- humm? RWTF
