LET'S SEE YOUR WINCHESTER MODEL 21's

One trick is to not own them all at the same time.
Win M23's are very good guns but just don't have the feel nor nostalia of the "real deal".
Reminds me that I knew someone who was doing finances for the person in charge of selling off the warehouse guns when Winchester was clearing out its offices in Canada, would have been in the 1980s when Trudeau was clamping down on firearms for the first time, but anyway the guns were being offered to company insiders at a big discount. When he told me that, I begged the guy to go through the place and find me a Win 21! Begged him! OK, so I didn't know the gun's full history or its comparative rarity, but it was worth a chance!
The Winchester Model 23 are nice guns.I have one in 28 gauge.Wish I had a 28 gauge Model 21 to go along with it.
I googled Model 23 and found several you tube vids with a Pigeon grade that looked very nice.
But, had some schitty news last night and didnt watch the end of video.

Are you referring to the 28 ga M23? Think it is still there along with a 410. On the pricey side.
Here's a couple of photos of a pre-war M21, HD, 3" chambers I sold a couple years back. Bought it quite a few years ago but because the HD has a short LOP I never used it and it just sat in my safe so I sold it and bought couple other collectible Winchesters I can shoot.

Nice gun Rod!
Funny, if you didn't already know it's an M21, you could certainly guess it's a Winchester just by the wood, the finish and the checkering which is basically the same as what they used on all of their firearms in that era.

That's a nice Duck gun, Rod. I had one too and sold it for the same reason. The 13 1/2" LOP just didn't do it for me. I had mine when we could still use lead for waterfowl. There was considerable recoil with heavy loads.

I did a quick price check on the CSMC website. A M21 in 28 ga starts at about $15k US. The CSMC version of a M21 is somewhat less. Still a considerable investment.
6999.95 is a fair price if the condition is 90%
If it didn't already have a recoil pad on the buttstock I would have added a solid red Winchester pad. I happened to have an original on hand at the time. Rather than add spacers and ruin the gun I sold it. I know Winchester was trying to take into account the extra clothing worn in the duck blind and as such shortened the stock on their Duck Guns to 13 1/2".

I'm not in the market to purchase but was just wondering about pricing. The one I'm asking about appears to be in decent shape but it's difficult to tell by the pics on the website, I doubt if it's 90 percent though. That could be why it's been listed for as long as it has been.
Win M21 20 Gauge
This is a M21 20 gauge skeet gun that was owned by a friend who has found it a new home. It was engraved after market by Heidi Hiptmayer. She was a highly regarded engraver who got her training in Belgium. Her husband, Claude, was an accomplished stocker, also trained in Belgium. They came to Canada in the 70's and initially worked for Browning Canada and then set up their own shop.
