LGS owner obtained one and it's literally 99% mint.. Only thing missing is the front bead. My question is: what bead did these come with? White ivory? Steel? (?)??? I want to install one that matches the original, but every M21 I've seen has everything under the sun for a front bead.. Help....

This is a solid-rib shotgun, 30" barrels, single-sel. trigger, S/N 16XXX, if that makes any difference..

Never mind... I thought to call Cody, WY and talk to them.. Brass front bead was standard.

Don't know if it's for sale or not... But if someone's really interested in buying one (and this one's a beauty) PM me and I'll give you the name/number to call..

As many Winchester early 1886s, Model 71s, m-70s-- and MANY Model 12s, including 2 heavy duck guns- I own-
there is only one really serious 3 inch double gun:
The AH Fox 3 in HE Super Fox-Philadelphia-Chromox Barrels
Used by Nash Buckingham. Mine will out shoot and out range
any other goose or duck gun chambered in 3 inch 12 GA.

450,
Nice gun.
I must ask - What inspired the above In a thread about a front bead on a model 21?
Even for the ‘fire, that was one hell of a redirect.
As an aside, if you do in fact own bo whoop, I’d love to hear about it - I’d suggest a new thread with pictures.
If not, you and Cpl Austin need to get together and compare notes :-)

Reminded of the story that came from O'Connor or Keith:
John Olin supposedly grew tired of other American doubles taking "market share" on shotguns in the 1920s-30s. He decided to do something about it.
The Model 21 is a nice shotgun.
But it will never catch up to a Parker AAHE, an LC Smith pre-1913 special, or an AH Fox Super Fox or XE Special pre-war Krupp steel Philadelphia gun.
Just my .02. Mine is a 1924 straight stock Super chambered in 3in. Great duck and goose gun.
