When I returned to her house, she asked us to come in. I brought here to the shop to sign all the forms to sign. I made a few calls and was able to sell all but one expensive BT99 Browning 12G Trap gun. She doesn't know one from another so I did not even ask her. She needed to have the remainder of the guns gone by the end of the year. Seems her own son gave her the business and sold the hand guns and she hasn't seen an dollar. ( Just before CHRISTmas, my friend gets a phone call form that same woman. Well her son got involved and felt he could do better on prices and did not need our help. I told her I would like the opportunity to buy that one and I would pay fair market price. Anyhow there was about 25 long guns and a few hand guns. Friend of a friend who passed away and together ''WE'' helped keep a widow form getting scalped. Its a very nice walnut stocked, case colored 24 in 22/410.Ī little over a year ago I had the opportunity to help someone sell a bunch of guns. Then about 15 years back I had some extra dollars and I found a beauty and I grabbed it! It cost me just over $300 back then. All rights reserved.I had plenty of opportunities thru the years, passing because of condition or too costly.
#Savage model 24 review full#
Note: A full length review of a Winchester Model 24 shotgun can be found on the Product Reviews page.Ĭopyright 2007, 2016 by Chuck Hawks. That gave these hardy American made utility doubles an advantage over inexpensive imported guns that, while often more stylish, were sometimes made of inferior steel and suffered reliability problems. Like the Stevens 311 and Savage/Fox Model B with which it competed, the Model 24 worked reliably. The tang-mounted automatic safety, however, is conventional in operation and simple to use. The poorly shaped trigger guard is stamped from heavy gauge sheet metal. Approximate drop is 1-1/2" at comb and 2-1/2" at heel.Ī couple of common complaints are that the triggers are too close together and too straight in shape to be really comfortable. It measures 46-1/2" in overall length and has a 14-1/4" length of pull. Our sample Model 24, owned by Gordon Landers, weighs about 7-1/2 pounds. A single trigger, ejectors, ventilated rib, engraving and other upscale options were never offered. Early models had a hard butt plate, later this was changed to a ventilated recoil pad. The semi-beavertail forend is held in place by spring tension, and the semi-pistol grip stock is amorphous in shape. The Model 24 is about as wide through the breech and receiver as a side-by-side gun can be. In the area between the 24's dual lumps is a cocking slide and the extractor. It boasts a clean breech face and is held closed by a single underbolt that engages a notch in the double barrel lumps. The Model 24 was designed with two lumps, one centered beneath each barrel, leaving a tunnel of space between the two lumps. The wide, rounded receiver of the Model 24. This gives the gun a decidedly unusual appearance. The barrel breeches of most double guns are considerably wider than (and overhang) the sides of the receiver, but the receiver of the Model 24 is actually slightly wider than, and encloses the lower half of, the barrels. But, unlike more sophisticated round action guns, such as the Ruger Gold Label (see our Gold Label review on the Product Review Page) that tend to be exceptionally trim, the Model 24 is very broad across the action body. The forged steel receiver body of the Model 24 is rounded. The 12 gauge gun reviewed here, owned by Guns and Shooting Online Technical Advisor Gordon Landers, has 30" barrels with 2-3/4" chambers and is bored Mod./Full, which is typical of guns with 28" and 30" barrels. Available gauges were 12, 16, and 20, with 12 gauge being the most common.īarrel lengths of 26", 28" and 30" were offered in 12 gauge, while 16 and 20 gauge guns could be had with 26" or 28" tubes. It was produced only as a field grade gun with blued receiver and barrels, wide 7/16" raised solid rib, uncheckered black walnut stock with lacquer finish, semi-pistol grip (a straight hand stock could be ordered), double triggers, and spring powered extractors that elevated the shells when the gun was opened. The Model 24 is a true hammerless gun, as opposed to having concealed hammers like most double guns, since it is striker fired. It was reasonably successful in the market place and a total of over 116,200 were manufactured. The Model 24 was intended to compete with the likes of the Stevens 311 and Savage/Fox Model B as an affordable, utility side-by-side. The Winchester Model 24 side-by-side shotgun went into production in 1939 and stayed in the line until 1958.
