Thanks again to everyone for all the info. Like I said, I didn't want to learn anything the hard way with this gun. Following all your tips, the gun went together very easily. This is a different animal for a guy like me, though and I still have a few more questions with respect to the ejectors. It seems like they ride pretty hard against the frame face. Does that cause wear over an extended period of time? Metal on metal, seems like one part or the other would have to show wear. Okay, now here's the question that only a guy who has never owned a "double" could ask. After the ejectors have fired, now they're sticking out. "Protruded", for you fancier types. How do you reload without the new shell being flush with the barrel breech? Does it all just cam down together as the gun is closed? Last question, for storage, with the gun assembled and hammers released, is there pressure on the ejectors that causes anysort of negative effect? Thanks again for the help,

Pete

1. The ejectors case no undue wear to the breech face. Just do normal lubrication.

2. Just load and the shell will cam down. If you notice, with a 21, you have to force the barrels down just a bit to load. When you release this downward pressure after loading the shell, the bottom edge of the shell rim is captured against the top of the breach face.

3. No.

IMO the 21 is the best shotgun ever manufactured in the U.S. and some would argue the world. but I am a little bias....

Cartod,
Surely you jest about the "Best in the World"?
The stock is awesome n I'm sure the fore end is to , it's the bit in the middle I don't like.
What do you mean by best?..graceful lines/looks, fit n finish/over all quality, balance,or what?
I guess it's a personal thing
franc
Sorry, just noticed you said "Some might argue" about the world bit..my bad blush
But to my eye they sure aren't the best looking Yank Gun either

I have Model 21s that have been cocked since 1930 or earlier and have not shown any damage or wear to springs. In fact, all my double guns are cocked at the moment.

Cartod: Really nice group of '21's that you have there!

Is the gun on the top in the first photo a 3" Duck model?
Could you post the stock dim's on that one?

Also what is the vintage and gauge of the straight grip rounded frame gun in the bottom photo?

Thanks -- Bob.
