I recently purchased my 24A and then realized the selector was broken. The button on the frame now is the style that doesn't have the screw on selector. I have the parts kit to replace the pieces of the selector. I bought the kit from Numrich and it has the screw on selector.
My question is this: how do I remove the button from the frame? I've never taken one of these apart and could use all the help I can get. Thanks in advance!

Anybody have any advice about how to get the button out of the receiver?

I see where it says to push the selector plunger in with a thin punch to remove the button. I really can't make sense of that though. Where would the thin punch be able to push the plunger in, inside or outside of the receiver?

lucky13...I have been off the forum for a while and just saw that painter referred you to an old post of mine on disassembly/reassembly of an early model 24 with the side selector. Do you have access to a schematic so that you will understand the names of the various components and their location on the firearm? If not you need to get one. If you can't, leave your email address here and I will forward one to match your model 24. Once you have the schematic I can help walk you through the disassembly process if needed. Removing the side selector button is not too difficult.

Neilrr, thank you for the reply. I have the schematic. The selector on my 24A is the clip on style. I bought the kit from Numrich that has the screw on selector.

Neilrr, I would appreciate any help you could give me. I probably paid to much for my model 24A when I bought it and now I'm $50.00 in parts. My email address is tmayhan74@hotmail.com if that is easier for you.

Before we try to do this using emails, are you located in the northeast? I am, unfortunately, located in north central NJ, near the PA border off 78. If you are close enough we could possibly meet and I could help you out.

Ok, too far, so we will do it here. Please confirm that when you got the replacement selector kit from Numrich that it included a new selector, screw, and a selector button that the screw screws into.

Yes, the kit has the selector, the button, the selector screw and the plunger and spring.

Great....remove the fore-end and barrels, then remove the stock, follow the write-up on how to perform these tasks. Once the stock is removed you will see a small hole at the rear end of the receiver where the stock mates to the receiver just rear of the selector button. Use a thin punch, place it in this hole by-passing the selector button and push the selector button plunger inward towards the front of the receiver. This will free the selector button and allow you to pull it out of the receiver. Be careful not to launch the selector button plunger and plunger spring once the selector button is removed. Follow the other disassembly steps to remove the selector and install the new components in the kit. Good luck and if you need further help just ask.

Neilrr, I had previously removed the stock and see the hole that you are talking about. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the hammer pin is passing though that hole. The hammer pin is supposed to be removed left to right, correct? How do I remove the hammer pin with the selector button in the frame? Sorry to be such a pain.

Push the selector button up into the rifle firing position. This will allow access to the hammer pin to remove it right to left. I think you are looking at the locking bolt pin which is removed left to right. You should now have access to the selector button plunger.
