1. You mention the load bearing cross pin in the Mod 21. From the pics I have seen it seems that the cross pin is supported by frame metal on the front, so the load is not borne by the pin alone.
2. -any experience with Mod21s shooting loose and the subsequent repair required to put them back "on face"?
3. I wonder if there were British guns in that endurance test carried out by Winchester where the Mod 21 was pitted against the rest.
1. The cross pin has a bushing around it.
2. If a Model 21 does happen to become loose (rare), the bushing can be turned 1/2 turn and your good to go. If the bushing will not tighten it with a 1/2 turn, then it can be replaced with one that is slightly larger in size. There were several sizes.
3. I'm not sure if any British guns were used, or not. Probably not, cause who would what to destroy a Purdy, H&H, or a Boss among others?
