First off, I would think that if one fired a gun and the forearm moved "forward a little bit", that it would be that their hand is just sliding forward on the forearm. I would think that in order for one to feel the forearm move, that it would have to move a significant amount, so much so that the forearm would be sloppy all of the time. Or that there would be something drastically/noticibly wrong with the gun. Think about it. So how far would you say that the forearm is moving forward on the gun when you fire it, Max? 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 of an inch? Because anything less than that and I'm going to have to wonder how you could detect that amount of movement during the time of recoil on a shotgun. And that much or any more you should be able to find something wrong with the gun fairly easily. Or the forearm is going to come off of the gun. All this and you can't detect it when it isn't being fired. Things that make you go hmmmmmm...................

Wrong Ole Cowboy.  The side-plated one with engraving by Angelo Bee is superb. Just check that color pic in Frank A. Pachmayr America's Master Gunsmith-Safari Press 1995. Did you see that German custom engraved piece at Roger Bain Esq. Inc. If I had 50k+ to spend I would have bought it. Every mm of that frame was lusciously engraved in beautiful German "Baroque" style.

M21s know when their owners don't really like them and deliberately act up by way of feeling loose, doubling, selector somehow moves on firing, etc. They're kinda like labs. Send it my way - I'll give it a good home.

Sam, I agree. I have been around a lot of Model 21s in my life since I was a teenager(about 50 years). They were used for a lot of target shooting and hunting and I never saw one fail for any reason. I have owned mine since 1982 and never had any problems.

Max - I once had a pair of first year 21s and the forend was loose on one .The one that was tight was tight on either gun .When I compared them I found that the forearm retainer was bent on the the loose one . To fix this all I did was remove the wood turn the iron top side down and hit the retainer with a hammer which made it longer which tightened the forend up .
Please let us know if this works .Its very simple and works .I have seen it done many times .

I agree, AW. If it was loose, it would probably be loose all of the time. I can't believe that someone could detect one moving 1/64 of an inch or so while getting an impact from the shotgun. Something just doesn't seem right about this. By the way, I have never welcomed you to the board, AW. You don't have to be too specific if you don't want to, but where are you from in Ohio?
