Winchester Model 21

Winchester Model 21

The Winchester Model 21 is a Double-barreled shotgun that was produced from 1931 to the 1970s with production continuing under license to Connecticut Shotgun Manfacturing Company.

It is not semi-automatic or pump-action. It is loaded manually by lifting up the barrel and loading the shells at the breech. This is called a break or hinge action. The model 21 came in 12, 16, 20, 28, and .410 gauge.

Total production reached over 30,000. Although it was technically a factory made gun, each one was custom made to fit each customer's needs. Some were very plain, while others were elaborately engraved and stocked with exquisitely figured walnut.
