What’s Included
- Savage Model 24 .22 LR/.410 over/under combination gun
This Model 24 pairs a .22 LR rifle barrel over a .410 bore shotgun barrel, providing a versatile two-shot platform. The .410 barrel is proofed for 3-inch shells, and capacity is 2 rounds via the break-action design. The 24-inch barrels offer a balanced length for both small-game shooting and field carry.
Receiver and barrel markings include "SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION CHICOPEE FALLS MASS. U.S.A.", "PROOF TESTED .410 BORE 3 INCH CHAMBER", and "22 LONG RIFLE." The Chicopee Falls rollmark places this example in the pre-1960 era of manufacture in the United States.
The action uses a single trigger with an exposed hammer, maintaining a straightforward manual of arms typical of early Model 24s. Steel construction is used for both the receiver and the barrels.
Sighting equipment consists of open iron sights with a ramped front blade and a folding leaf rear. The hardwood stock has a straight comb and semi-pistol-grip profile, paired with a matching hardwood fore-end and a grooved steel buttplate. Length of pull measures 14 inches.
