Saw a strange one in a local gun shop the other day.It appears to be some sort of bolt action or auto.It is marked mdl. 1244 and has a tenite buttstock and forearm.I have never seen one before and can,t find it listed anywhere.Can anyone shed some light on this one. Thanks

    Old S.S., Is it possible you misread the mdl.#? I've found a model 124 made by Stevens [there was alot of cross-over mfg. by both companies] in 12 ga. tenite stock and forearm but no such animal in model 1244. The 124 is a slide action 12 ga. only, straight pull action, 28" bbl., 3 shot, circa 1950. Maybe this will help.Tideman

    Tideman,Thank you for the reply.I am sure of the mdl. no. 1244 as i double checked it and wrote it downThis gun sounds similar to the one you mentioned,but the forearm does not move. only a large bolt on the side similar to an auto.It may have been marked Stevens not Savage of this i am not sure.Anyway,Thanks again for your interest and reply. Old SS

    The 124 is a manually operated repeater that looks like an autoloader. Kind of a wierd bolt-action design.Not a big hit.
