Looks like only the floor plate was re-blued? Nice hunting gun priced right in my mind.

Seems like it wasn't long ago those kinds of Model 21s were under a grand. A friend got such a gun in 16-gauge at one of the Vintage Cups at Pintail Pointe for $900.

Good deal, hell the barrels are worth 2 grand. Seems like it wasn't long ago those kinds of Model 21s were under a grand. A friend got such a gun in 16-gauge at one of the Vintage Cups at Pintail Pointe for $900. Im looking for an early Canoe Paddle double trigger 16. Think he wants to sell?

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

Might just be the photo, but Id ask about the pitch. Something looks funky about the angle of the butt pad. Offer them $2500 and Ill bet its yours.

Pitch looks about 1 1/2" negative pitch. In other words, the muzzle contacts the wall before the top of the action.

I think you'd win that bet "in a walk"-- Not worth 3k-IMO. I had a gent at our area pheasant club offer me $3K for my Dad's M21- mfg. aprox 1940- also a 28" barrel, but with single selective trigger, auto ejectors- field grade. Dad bought it used for $85.00 in 1948- first owner traded it back to dealer for a 16 gauge M21-- It is choked imp. cyl. and mod.--splinter forearm, pg buttstock- red solid factory pad. Just for the "Hay of it"- I meaured the dims and pitch- 14&1/4" LOP, 1&1/2" DAC, 2&1/4" DAC,
zero cast- 1&1/4" downpitch from muzzle to door jamb measurement.
I still have it, have shot it steadily since 1980- great pheasant gun -- upland hunting. A bit too openly choked for our club's Tower shoots- I have never moved the trigger selector button in the trigger blade from "right hand barrel first"..
To those gents who spotted the "unusual down pitch"-- "Nice eye, gents- indeed. I mounted it and swung through right to left "pretend birds" towards the ceiling line whilst in the Library- never noticed that excessive pitch issue- possibly because I had NO plans to buy it. RWF
