That is gorgeous. Is the barrel cut down? It looks a little short. Any idea where the pistol grip came from?
i wonder how many others have had their .357 Mag 24's rechambered to .357 Max.

This is NOT a rechambered gun. The nickel model 24 was sold in 357 Maximum over 20 gauge and it came with the pistol grip accessory.

I went to a gun show in north central Pennsylvania over the weekend looking for a 223/20 gauge. I did not find what I wanted, but was very surprised to come across eight 24's for sale. Normally I see one or two at a show. The eight 24's were broken down as follows: - Four 222/20, all in good condition, including two with scopes, at $750 plus out the door.
- Three 22mag/410, all in fair to good condition, at $650 plus out the door.
- One 357/20, in very good condition with a scope, at $900 plus out the door.
None of the dealers would budge on their prices including a dealer that I met three weeks ago at another Pennsylvania gun show. He still had all two of his 24's (one 222/20 and one 22/410) that had not sold previously - his prices were the same as before. That same dealer recently picked up a 30-30/20 in good condition at an estate sale for $500 and it went right into his 24 collection - lucky guy. |

Lol, there are complete 3-barrel Valmet 412 shooting systems listed on Gunbroker for that kind of money, and nobody ever bids on them. That gun in the OP is about $2000 too much. XD

That particular seller alway seems to have a handful of 24's on the Gunbroker laughably over-priced. Same gun is on GB right now.

I have a few of the Savage 24s, that I've picked up over time. But, I don't pay unreasonable prices for them. I have a .357 Mag among them. Also a couple of .30-30s, .222, .22 Mag and some .22LRs, including one 24C. Most are over 20 gauge barrels, but a couple are over .410 bore barrels. I also have a new old stock, unfired, barrel set for a Savage 242... .410/.410. I have two, but am using one on one of my other receivers. Can't remember which one at the moment. I'm saving the unfired one, in hopes I can trade it for a .22 Hornet/20 Ga. Barrel set. I'd prefer to buy the whole ( reasonably priced ) .22 Hornet / 20 gauge gun. Anybody have one for sale? Just asking.

Anybody have oversize chamber on their .357 Maximum barrel? Buddy has the nickeled combo described above and has to drive 357 Max casings out after firing and 357 mag cases always split. Loaded rounds for both calibers are loose in the chamber.
Thanks for any help.

When you say state that the rounds are loose in the chamber before firing is that with the gun locked up or unlocked? If unlocked, is the round physically loose in the chamber because the chamber is too deep, which would cause excessive head space and case splitting or is the chamber too large in diameter for the round, or both? Also where is the case splitting after firing, longitudinal or around its circumference? A circumferential split is usually due to excessive head space when the gun is locked up. The splitting case will cause it to get stuck in the chamber.

Thanks for the reply. As requested the following is provided. Gun is unlocked and the cartridge looseness is circumference/diameter not length. The .38 special splits are longitudinal. The extracted cases are expanded in diameter and will not enter the chamber. The cases of .357 maximum rounds he has fired had to be driven out of the chamber and the rims of the cases ruined in the effort to get them out of the chamber.

Galvinator, thanks for the follow up information. Per your reply both unfired .38 special and the .357 mag cartridges are loose circumferentially when seated in the chamber but are their bases flush with the end of the chamber or are the recessed? Is the chamber smooth or are there internal areas that are rough? If the chamber is rough the fired case will expand into the rough areas of the chamber and become stuck making it very difficult to extract. Have you tried to make a cast of or measured the chamber's internal diameter to determine its actual size? If there is excessive space between the cartridge case and the chamber wall the case could over expand and split.
