Savage 24D .22LR over 20 gauge

[LMTluvr]

Anybody else have one? Was given one in great condition, unsure of age. Old enough apparently that serial numbers weren't required yet.
Resources for parts, manuals etc? Value? ( NOT selling, just idly curious)
Test fired today, worked great. It seems the breaking hinge is a little stiff but the oil in there looks pretty old and wax like.

I don't have one but I wish I did. I had the opportunity to buy one cheap a couple of years ago but I passed because it was a .222rem that had been reamed out to a .223. I wasn't sure how safe or accurate the gun would be after that had been done. Maybe it would've been fine idunno. Savage now produces the model 42 but it brings a hefty price at just below $400. You've got a great gun there.

I like my Model 24 combos. I have two .22lr/.410 and one .22lr/20ga. The .22lr/20ga is my favorite.

I have one, also .22LR over 20ga, and like it quite a bit. Since it takes down into two equal-length chunks, it lends itself nicely to fit into a smallish case with foam cut-outs for ammo. While I did pay $200 for it just a couple of years ago, it's not a perfect gun by far. It was a 24D model but a previous owner cut the barrel down to make a poor-man's 24C Campers Companion out of it. Still a nice gun.

If you want to sell it, let me know.

I have a 22lr over 20ga as well.
I'm going to take it squirrel hunting the next time I go.
I just need to get more practiced at switching to the shotgun barrel while cocking the hammer between shots...

Might take you up on that. I bought it to take care of our ground squirrel issue and I think a scoped .22 would work better. They go for cover when you're still a good 50 yards away.

It works quite well for that purpose

I have a 24V series C in .222/20 guage and I like it a lot! I'd like to find one in .22/20 guage for the price I paid for the .222. It'd be less expensive to shoot, tho' I do reload the .222.

I have a savage 22/20. Not sure what model, my father in law gave it to me 15 years ago or more. It is in beautiful shape, and I don't think he shot it more than a few times, as it was a gift to him when he moved to Texas. I think I tried to figure out the model before and maybe a 24m or p?

What are the general consensus on prices?

What are the general consensus on prices?

Prices are kinda high. I looked at gun broker and I'm seeing prices north of $400. There is one in Costa Mesa that is currently at $260 with 3 days left. I'm definitely in the market for one but before I paid an outrageous price for one I would just order the new model 42. It's lighter and has synthetic stocks. My LGS can get them for $367.

[LMTluvr]

Wow. That seems steep, i was thinking of listing it for maybe 300 tops.
Now being there's no SN does that mean C&R?

I believe no serial number just puts it before the gun control act of 1968. I could be wrong though. I would love to work something out with you on that gun. If you decide to sell it please pm me.
