I have an Iver Johnson Skeeter 20 gauge in on approval.
It is an ejector gun and the ejectors don't work. All the visibile parts are there but I haven't taken the forearm apart.
The serial numbers match on the forearm iron, forearm wood, barrel, and action.
The Owl's head buttplate is there.
The triggers excellent. Light, crisp, and no creep. Double triggers.
Stock fits me very well.
The barrels have been reblued and I suspect they might have been hot blued. I believe they should be rust blued and am worried about the soft solder in the ribs. How can you tell for sure the difference? There is a dead spot 6" from the muzzle in the rib when I ring it.
It is tight and on face.
The lever is 1/8" to the right.
28" barrels, 2-3/4" chambers. The POIs of the two barrels are within 4" of each other at 25 yards. The barrels are marked "M" and "F" right and left respectively. It patterns tighter than that of course.
The finish on the stock is flaking off in places.
The trigger guard is an antique copper color with a black streak in it.
The beavertail forearm is slightly loose - like most of the Winchester Model 21s it is loose up towards the muzzle. That is between the muzzle end of the forearm and the barrel.
The action has been reblued and the stamped lettering is soft.
It weighs 7lbs 4oz.
I bought it to take for Argentina dove hunting. I have $1000 in it. What do yall think?
Best,
Mike
