Never heard of these guys before today, but saw they list a M21 16ga, 2 triggers and extractors. Not in excellent shape, but not priced for it, either! Kinda how I started off with a 21 in 16.... |

...what an unusual gun (short chambers, DT, splinter, ext).....that should be bought, you won't see a cheaper Model 21 16, if you can live without EJ. and SST, this is a steal! |

There is a reason that gun is so cheap. My buddy had it shipped to him and it went back the next day. He said it was a train wreck... |

Hey J. B.
What justifies being called a train wreck? |

I dont recall everything he said about the gun. I know he mentioned Rust,Dents, and he was told the chokes were Mod/full which I see has changed since then. He has taken on a few pretty rough project 21's but he passed on this one... |

Does anyone have any history with Upland Outfitters?
I have enjoyed talking to them a few times about a couple of their guns that I'm seriously interested in but the responsiveness and lack of reply to several communications I have left leaves a lot to be desired.
Not passing judgement yet but it raises a little concern.

Light rust isn't much of a problem, light barrel dents can be pushed out, but if a guy who has rescued guns before gets shy on this one, that's not a good sign. Too bad, the basic combination would be a good starting point.
