My first double was an old pre-WWI J Stevens Arms & Tool Co gun, I seem to recall it as being a model 325. It had coil springs & cocking rods very similar to the W 21, Reckon maybe Winchester copied their action from the Stevens. The Stevens had the same Cigar Box shaped frame as the 21, looked like a flat sided 21. It did have the same type of side swinging wedge bolt engaging a straight rib extension, same as later Stevens & Savage built doubles rather than an underbolt as the 21 had. This gave it better mechanical leverage actually. I bought it late 1954 & it still bolted up tight.
