If Olin had the Model 21 underway, and one of such was picked at random from warehouse inventory for the 2000 "blue pill" proof testing, why didn't the WRA design team come up with a 10 gauge 3.5" chambered Model 21? Just wondering.


The ink had barely dried on the Olin's purchase of the defunct Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at the end of December 1931, when the Western Super-X 3 1/2 inch Magnum-Ten shotgun shell first appears in the April 1, 1932, Western Ammunition for Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun and Ithaca Gun Co.'s Magnum-Ten NID hit the market. According to Williamson, there was still a very good chance as late as August 1931 that Remington Arms Co., Inc. would buy Winchester.
