"The Model 21 being currently produced by CSMC is as much if not more a Winchester Model 21 than a C7 Corvette is a replica!"

As noted, the C7 vette is made by Chevrolet, who also made the C1-C6 vette. The CSMC M21's are made by Winchester. Is that really a hard concept to grasp?

As for recoil pads.....they're just yucky. If a man can't take the recoil of the gun he's shooting...he needs to try a lighter gauge or maybe even taking up needlework.
