Winchester Model 21 Skeet, 16 ga. side by side competition shotgun. Serial #15566, mfg. 1947. Excellent condition. Super looking post-war Model 21 Skeet two-barrel set. Wow! On the small frame - light and dainty and points wonderfully! Former owner relates that this Model 21 was sent back to the factory for a reblue on the receiver - barrels do not appear to have been reblued and then stored - never fired again. First barrel set is a 26" solid rib with two beads - nice bright bores - choked WS-1 and WS-2 - serialed to receiver. Second barrel set is a 28" solid rib with one bead - bright bores - choked M/F - matches receiver in serial. Both barrels have 96%++ bluing with some light fading - some wear at breech. Single selective trigger. Ejectors. Top lever is dead center. Nice tight action. Stock appears to have been refinished - now a nice satin hand-rubbed finish with checkered butt - super burl in the butt area. Very pleasing! Wrist checkering is slightly smooth from the refinish. Beavertail forearm - one - matches receiver in serial number. LOP is 14 1/8". Marked "Skeet" on bottom of receiver towards triggerguard. Includes a WONDERFUL leather trunk case with three compartments - very nicely maintained and oiled nicely. Green interior - appears to have been with the Model 21 since the beginning. A GREAT set! Elegant and wonderful! Shoot it, collect it. Rare ga. for the Skeet model adds to its value. Stunning... C&R OK. Gunrunner West item.
