Scarce Documented Winchester 16 Gauge Model 21 Skeet Double Barrel Shotgun with Factory Letter

The included factory letter states that the final inspection for this gun was completed on October 18, 1948, and that it was built as a standard skeet grade gun in 16 gauge. The letter also states that the gun was returned to the factory on October 20, 1964, for repair and restocking. Blued Winchester Proof steel barrels with Bradley red front bead and steel mid bead on the matted concave solid rib, standard Winchester markings, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The blued action is marked "SKEET" on the triggerplate and features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted manual safety switch. Attractively figured, multi-point checkered beavertail forend and pistol grip stock with blued steel grip cap and leather wrapped recoil pad. Includes a Beretta takedown case. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .671/.671 inches; choke constriction .002/.012 inches; minimum wall thickness .029/.028 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 13 oz.

ConditionVery fine as factory refurbished, retaining 97% plus blue finish with some areas of slight oxidation on the top rib, a few scratches towards the muzzles, and overall minor handling evidence. The factory replacement wood is also very fine with some chipping along the edges, a repaired crack, and some chipping on the right of the forend near the rear, otherwise minor handling evidence and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
