Winchester Model 21
I'm trying to determine the manufacture date of a model 21 with a serial number of 25184. Also, how common/rare is the model 21 having 3" barrels insted of 2 3/4?
The stock on the model 21 appears to have been cut but a very professional job; the LOP is 13". How much would this de-value the gun?
Thanks,
Paul

Looking for advice on purchasing a Winchester model 21. I have read extensively on this model and would like opinions from those who have experience with them. Are they really "Winchester's Finest"? 0 -
I saw a factory original M 21 3" 12 ga a while back- asking price was $3500. I forget the serial number but it seems it was made about the time of WWII. It had been well used but not abused. I'd think several times before I'd fire a 1 7/8oz load in a gun with only a 13"LOP. 0 -
Paul,
The only way that you can get the date of manufacture and the "as built" configuration is to pay the Cody Firearms Museum for a factory letter ($85 for non members). You can use this web link - http://www.bbhc.org/explore/firearms/firearms-records/
Model 21 12-ga shotguns with 3" chambers are not uncommon. The Duck grade guns were to the best of my knowledge all made with the 3" chambers.0
