What’s Included
- Savage Arms Model 24 .22 LR / .410 combination gun
This Model 24 uses an exposed hammer and break-action design that allows quick barrel inspection and loading. The steel receiver is color case-hardened, matching the period-correct finish found on early 1960s production guns.
The 24-inch blued steel barrels are brazed together their full length for reliable point-of-aim alignment. A folding adjustable rear leaf sight pairs with a fixed blade front, giving the shooter practical iron sight capability for both rifle and shotgun use.
A single trigger controls both barrels, and a side-mounted selector lever lets the shooter switch between .22 LR and .410 quickly. This early pattern selector is characteristic of first-generation Model 24s and is favored by collectors.
The walnut stock features a 14.25-inch length of pull, a comfortable pistol-grip profile, and a full-length beavertail forend that offers secure support when shooting either barrel.
Proofed and manufactured in the United States, this two-round capacity combination gun delivers the versatility of a rimfire rifle and a small-bore shotgun in one well-balanced package.
