You mean something like this, it's my understanding this was the last 21 built. .410 with the full package 1997??????


It was an intersting 21 but what really did me in was a Purdy Funeral Grade 2 barrel set. AHHHHHH It was unreal how slick that action looked.

Phew!! Nice guns boxbirder. See how elegant those forends make the rest of the gun look?

Jimmy, you've been screaming this since you were Don Nolan. As I recall, you don't hunt, you shoot trap. Having shot a bit of trap, I can see your point- at the trap range. Most here hunt more than they shoot targets. The only hunting I can imagine that would allow, or cause, barrels to get that hot would be doves or driven birds. Other forms of hunting simply don't allow enough shots to be fired to create the situation in the first place. The splinter allows a more natural pointing and swing than a beavertail, hence the presence of splinters on game guns.

There may be a lesson to be learned from Jimmy.. !917, Lefever Arms Co, didn't furnish a BT forend, they went Belly-up.. !932, A H Fox, put BTs on no more than 5% of their guns, they had to sell to Savage... 1945, Hunter Arms... No Bts in any numbe... Bankrupt...1948, Ithaca furnished very few BTs, Discontinued all Double guns,, ,, There's a pattern here..If only they would have had Jimmy .. MDC

I know I don't hunt, Cary. But those squirrel I have been eating all week sure have tasted good. I'll be starting on those two freezers full of dove I have pretty soon. They just seem to jump in there all by themselves, darn it!!

And that was a long time ago, Cary. At least 6-7 years ago. I remember everyone telling me when I got my computer not to ever tell anything about myself. They said if people really knew who you were and where you lived, that they would break in and steal everything you owned........ Or, since they have computers in all of the prisons, you could be talking to Charles Manson. So, I had to come up with another name just to be sure. But I do hunt and have since I was sixteen. Still have the same 20 gauge, solid rib Model 37 I bought back in 1964. But now I use a 21 as my beater. Good luck.

beater it is

Jimmy- I stand corrected and apologise for my mistake. I must have confused you with someone else who made the same points in a post to 2 Piper in which he said he didn't hunt but did shoot a lot of trap.

Cary

That's right, Deltaboy. I like hunting with the best and I know the 21 can take it.
