Savage Model 24

How does a person date the Savage model 24 22 over 410? Does anyone know what years they were manufactured? I have a couple with wood stocks and the barrel selector on the side. Any help will be appreciated.

    I own a model 24.....o/u .22/20gauge I recently purchased a red dot scope that requires a 3/4 wide base scope mount to clamp onto. I'm trying to find a clamp on type of scope mount, without drilling into the .22 barrel, Any ideas?

    I have a Savage model 24 .22/.410 that I need some info on. It has no serial numbers on it (from the factory, not removed). It has a stamp on the receiver that is an oval with 26L in it. It has a walnut stock. The gun is in like new condition. The blueing is next to perfect and it's very obvious this gun has been very well taken care of.
    Now what I need to know is this, when was this firearm made and what is this gun worth?

    I am looking for a barrel set for my Savage mod. 24 series M. It is a .22 win. mag. over 20 gauge. The 22 barrel was damaged beyond repair. Any advice would help.

    I know this is pretty vague, but it's the best I can do.I looked at a mdl.24 at a show over the weekend, it's a nice gun in about 70% condition, 22/410, wood stock, I'm pretty sure it's an older model w/top lever. I haven't bought a Blue Book for quite awhile, but from my observations, it seems like they sell pretty high. I think I can pick this one up for $175-$200, but my book has $160 for 100%. Can someone help me out with a value?

    Thanks, Grizztribefans@sssnet.com

    Can it truly be that Savage has decided to discontinue the Model 24? Don't see it in the Savage website, so assume it is no longer available. If so, I am VERY SAD! I sure wish we could get those Czechs making a nice 7x57R/12ga Over-Under that are as nice as the CZ sghotguns.

    My Savage Model 24, .22LR/.410, has no serial number. It was made between 1950-1965. If I sold it as a C&R, I'd need to be certain it was made no later than 1963.

    It has the top of tang barrel release and right side button barrel selector.

    Maybe someone can tell me the year of mfg. and provide a link to confirmation info.

    Thanks

    You can go to the forum at Savage24.com and check the FAQ section, there is a fair amount of info. Those made between March 1949 and Dec. 1968 have a letter stamped on bottom of frame behind hinge pin or ahead of trigger guard, can be used to identify year. Otherwise, not easy to pin down. Mine's an older Stevens, same calibers, made between 1939 and 1950, haven't found any way to tell beyond that.

    The older original Stevens .22/410's, from the 30's and 40's, have Tenite, (plastic stocks). They weren't durable. So that the Tenite's were terminated, in the early 50's. I have a original Air Force issued and marked/serial numbered, Tenite from the late 40's.





    EDIT #1

    Sorry for the bad picture quality.

    Just checked & there is updated info since I last looked. Date code stamp may be in other locations. Seems my Stevens 22-410 with wood stock is pre-WWII, later ones were Tenite.

    The one that Rufe pictured was used in B-29's and B-52's as a survival gun. I've got one just like it, but stamped USAAF, in mint condition. My uncle snagged it out of his B-29 before it was sent to the graveyard, and bought it for $5 as "surplus". Some have about 1/4" of the .22 barrel muzzle hack sawed off, to fit in the space they were stored in.
    Rufe, if you don't have one of the GI issued aluminum cased 3" .410 shells, and want one, PM me an address.

    My girlfriend(later my wife) bought me one in 1968 for my 17th birthday. It was as you described except that it was a 22 magnum over a 410. I don't know how to prove the age on these guns.
    P.S. Still have the gun, but not the wife.
