I'm so stupid.
When a bunch of experts who've never even been in the same zip code
as a CSMC Model 21 tell me it's no good based on their experience with other guns, I should listen.
Listen to the experts
Never said that, Bob. Said I could not comment specifically on the CSMC Model 21. But I CAN comment very specifically on the Savage Fox A Grade, which is also a CSMC product. And on which their quality control sucks. Might be you've seen one or two that look fine. I've seen two--sent to me as potential purchases--that looked like crap. And I just saw another one in a Cabela's Gun Library that had the matte finish barrels . . . which, I guess, is OK if you like those. And at least it didn't have the screwed up checkering. I'm guessing Cabela's would have known better than to put it out for sale if it had.
