Bruce,

You will need to contact the CFM records office. The Model 21 was built solely in Winchester’s Custom Shop, and in no particular order.

It’s been 7 months since I started this! Like me, SN 22293 was manufactured in 1948, returned to Winchester in 1950 (repair order 15143) when barrels apparently were shortened to 27″ and a Winchester rubber butt pad added. Letter is a full page and doesn’t list the barrel shortening or addition of rubber butt pad. Here are some photos of dubious/poor quality of a shotgun with a beautiful finish as well as handling characteristics.
