If you were looking for a 20 ga Mod 21, would you consider both original Winchester and CSMC? This gun would be shooting, not investment or collecting.

If it were me, I would get an original. Just my opinion. But some guys like the ones from CSMC and they have good luck with them.

I like having CSMC warranty in place! I have had their M-21 and always got great service when needed! New steel and springs on your shooter is a positive.

I’ve had both original 21’s and CSMC 21’s. Since you’re not collecting or investing, the CSMC gun is the absolute better choice! The workmanship is superior, as is the wood and metal. All 21’s are superb shooting guns but the CSMC gun would be a better fit for your specific needs. I’ve taken a 20 bore CSMC 21 to South America numerous times and put thousands of rounds through it with no ill effects. I’m sure my original 21 would have served well too, but I didn’t have to worry about the possible loss of a collectible shotgun during transit.

I always wondered- who does the engraving on the CSMC model 21 SXSs? I don't think it is Pauline Muerelle is it? I should have asked her when she was engraving mine.

Okay. After research I have found that CSMC has several different engravers doing the work on the Model 21s and the Fox SXSs. Thanks.

Jimmy-do you know if they sign their work? If so, where would that be located?

Just from what I have read, they will sign the gun if you ask them to. I guess some of them may be signed very small from what one person said. I just Googled the question and came up with three names for CSMC engravers. Jim Demunck, Diego Bonsi and Richard Roy. I believe Demunck does the Fox guns. I asked Pauline Muerelle to sign mine and it is initialed very small in the weeds along the border. You can just GOOGLE ---CSMC ENGRAVERS and get info.

CSMC took me to the cleaners on both a Model 21 and an A10.
Spend a little time doing some research on the net before spending your money. Their "No return" policy is there for a reason.
