What's Included
- Savage Arms Model 24 over/under combination gun
This Model 24 is an early configuration with a barrel selector. The receiver carries the Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts rollmark, aligning it with pre-1960 production.
The over/under layout pairs a rimfire rifle barrel on top of a .410 bore shotgun barrel. The .410 chamber is marked for 3-inch shells, and the proof marking reads "PROOF TESTED .410 BORE — 3 INCH CHAMBER." The rifle barrel is marked ".22 LONG RIFLE R.F. ONLY."
Barrels measure 24 inches and are finished in blue, while the receiver shows a color case-hardened finish. The gun uses a break-action, single-action system with an exposed hammer and a single trigger.
Sighting is handled by iron sights: a ramped blade front and an adjustable open rear with elevator. Wood furniture includes a slim, splinter-style forend and a straight-comb stock in walnut/hardwood with an uncheckered surface and a black serrated buttplate.
Capacity is two rounds, consistent with the over/under design, and the length of pull measures 14.0 inches. Overall, this configuration reflects the straightforward, early Model 24 pattern that many buyers seek.
