Hi all. I inherited my dad's Sears Mod 21 12ga made by High Standard in the late 6o's. The gun has never had a hiccup of any kind. I took her out to shoot some clays this weekend and true to form runs like a Swiss watch. The action is so smooth that the forearm grip falls on its own when pressing the slide release. I love this gun and am so happy to have it.
That being said, I know parts are hard to come by and I am a little afraid to take it apart as it is a little more complex than a standard field strip. I guess you have to remove the stock to lesson the tension on the trigger return springs before pulling the trigger group. There is a part of me that is from the old 'if it works don't fix it' crowd, but not usually when it comes to maintenance of machines. I am afraid to take this apart with the scarceness of parts. I doubt seriously it has ever been apart. I won't use it much, but sure would like to preserve it as much as I can. What say you?
