Mike- that 1938 Winchester Sales Manual has lotsa fotos and other data on the M21-advise, if you want I can get foto-copies of those pages at the Library Zerox-and send them out to you. I would love to own a M21-a pal has a 1938 Trap Grade Skeet 20 gauge I would almost commit a class B felony to own- DT with Ejectors, straight hand stock, great pre-War wood and checkering-the older style receiver- no engraving, heavy for a 20 gauge with 28" barrels choked WS-1 and Ws-2 (is that Imp Cyl. and Mod. but with a different radius to the choke area-as shown in that 1938 book- Believe his Uncle bought it for around $115.00 back then-what a sweet handling well balanced 20-great dove gun--RWTF

Mike,
it's good to see you're still agile and strong enough to heft that 21. I hope you're not too old that you can't use it for quail.

Fox thanks for the offer but I am good right now. If you decide to sell the original I would be very interested in buying it. Your friends 21-20 sounds like an ideal gun to me.
Chuck only you would think a 9lb 2oz Model 21 with 32" barrels was appropriate for quail. All I can figure is that you shoot the quail on the ground from the back of a truck. Thus the lab.
Hope the training class with Mr. Hickox goes well.
Best,
Mike

Some months back one of the threads touched on that little bolt-stop screw. I offered the opinion that it was a vestigial piece, serving no real purpose. As evidence I noted that everyone else's gun seems to survive quite nicely without. I was pillored (Chuck - you would do well to consider such a statement as a qualifier for your Class B felony - a lot less effort than the run of the mill offenses).
At the time I may have noted that my '52 vintage M21 Trap arrived in my hands very well cared for, and with the bolt-stop set flush with the lug, far forward of where it needs to be to arrest the bolt. No harm, no foul. More recently I had the opportunity to look at two CSM M21s. The first has been in use a few years and I feel confident the owner would not bother with the trviality of a little bolt-stop screw. The second gun was new, just out of the box and unfired. Both had the screws set forward, flush with the lug.
Any of you folks out there have CSM guns that can comment on how the bolt was set from the factory?
Myself, I remain unrepentant.
