After a long time looking I found and bought a Savage 24V Series B in .30/30-20g today. It has a C in the serial number which I believe makes it a 1951 vintage, but not sure on that. It has a broken plastic trigger guard, but otherwise seems fit for use. I plan to take it to the range in the next week or so and will report back. Probably need to get a scope as my vision is poor, but will try the open sights.  |

Big Kelly, sent you a pm asking about a trigger guard, any chance you have one?  |

It has a C in the serial number which I believe makes it a 1951 vintage, but not sure on that. Not sure where you came to that conclusion from, but I'm interested to know if you can share. Serial numbers don't appear on any Savage 24 until 1968. The Model 24V line doesn't start until 1966, making the earliest a 24V could have been made 1965. The order these guns were made in were the 24V, 24V-A, 24V Series B, 24V Series C, & 24V Series D. The 24V Series B guns are from the 1973-1976 time frame. Hope this helps answer some of those questions for you. |

Well, I looked at a date list on the faq page....I really don't care how old it is since it is exactly what I have been looking for. It does have 24V Series B stamped on it as well as a C with numbers after it that appear to be a serial number.
