Happy me, I came home to four packages from various sources today. Basically everything needed to finish putting my humpty dumpty 24V back together again.
My first question of the night (I'm sure there will be more). Is there a way to sneak the front trigger guard screw into position without dissassembling the hammer assembly or release mechanism?
While I'm at it I guess I can ask how much tension the forestock is supposed to be held in place with? the assembly I bought comes on and off pretty easily. I'm wondering if I need to tweak the spring to tighten it up a little bit.....
Thanks all.

the fore stock from exp. should not fall of from a brush or a hard stare. as far as the front screw,make it work as long as you dont create any more questions.(or problems) Its a slow look and thinking process.

Were you able to replace the front trigger screw without removing the pins on the receiver?

Yes and no... I was able to cut a small flat on two sides of the screw and finagle it past the firing pins without disassembly. Obviously there's no good way to turn the screw, so I'll just hold it in place and then turn the trigger guard to tighten it before installing the rear screw.
Since I need to do some finishing work I haven't done the final installation, but this should work nicely.

I guess I need to look at a schematic... I have a 24V coming with a horrid looking guard that I will need to change. I habe a proper guard. I assumed turning a few screws...

After 10 years of searching for a original trigger guard, I found one on E-Bay last week. Now I am trying to install the new guard and screws but it appears I will need to disassemble the receiver. I can't remove the old front screw (it just moves loosely in the receiver) via the front of the receiver or through the hammer location. The selector is located on the hammer and it does not allow enough room to remove the old loose screw or allow adequate space to simply tighten a new front screw. I think if I remove one of the pins in the receiver, it may provide enough space to place and tighten the new front screw. By the way, there are photos of a 24 being taken apart on youtube you might find helpful.

Yeah, the receiver pins would need to be removed to do it right. That much I knew, but until I'm ready to fully strip and refinish everything I'm not interested in going that route. I only had to remove about 1mm on two edges to be able to squeeze the screw past the lower pin. It won't create any issue with function. I'll probably make a special screwdriver to hold the screw when I do the final installation on the trigger guard. I'm thinking of a lever with a short right angle driver that will fit in from the front under the barrel locking mechanism.
I searched for videos on 24 disassembly and didn't find anything useful. Could you link that video? It's not exactly rocket science but it sure can't hurt either.

This is a video (pictures) on replacing a Stevens Model 24 22-410 Selector switch, it may help as it shows the breakdown.
Sorry the video was taken off of youtube

That was a better tutorial than I expected. Thanks for posting that, gman.

If you want to spend about $30 you can get a DVD from American Gunsmithing Institute that gives a very good detailed video explanation on how to take apart a Steven (Savage) 22-410. I used it on my 1965 model and the video directions were very good for disassembly and re-assembly.
