Does anyone know if the 24f furniture work on a 24v-series d? Justpushing while the stock might work the forearm definitely will not.

Hey everyone!
As most everyone learns about life, sometimes it gets in the way. I had to take a break from everything for a while, then I suffered a physical break (my leg) which kept me away even longer.But now I'm back and trying to kick myself into gear on the book.
I'm happy to see some folks are still here and that the community has grown a little. Thanks to all of you for keeping the forum going.
I'll check in from time to time with questions and answers. But first I need to reorganize all my thoughts and materials so I can get down to writing some chapters. It's tough trying to remember everything I lined out before my break.

firstluff,
As I wrote in the introduction of this thread, the flow chart only pertains to factory original guns. Modifications nullify its usefulness as a tool. None of the 24C guns ever had brazed barrels or were they shorter than 20 inches. It looks like someone took and original 24, cut and recrowned the barrels, added a more modern front sight, and the stock is from a Savage 94 shotgun. Because it has tip-off scope mounts and he says it's marked only with "Model 24", That would put the gun somewhere between the mid 1950's to early 1960's. Hope my diagnosis helps.

That's gotta hurt! Once in a lifetime is right.
It's tempting just for the .22 hornet barrel let alone 3 more.

Made in 1983 and 1984 called the Survival guns. You got a sceaming deal. I would expect $800-1000. Everything you noted about the gun is correct and factory for that gun.

After nearly a decade of always being either a day late or a dollar short, I finally got my hands on an in the box Redfield RE-24 peep sight. I mounted it up on a 24E-DL with a great regulated barrel set, zeroed it at the range, and promptly took it out jackrabbit hunting. Peeps on these guns are truly amazing. Had a lot better shooting than I typically get with the factory leaf sight.
I mounted mine a lot closer to the breech to give me a longer sight plane. Of course the peep is a lot smaller in diameter than a ghost ring which you would want much further away from your eye. I may have to pick up one of those receiver mount peep sights from Brownell's for a comparison. Looks pretty solid and comes with 2 diameter peeps.

sneektip,
That right there is a Grade A choice rock squirrel (spermophilus variegateus). That's also a nice stock pouch, where'd you find it?

Paladin,
Because your gun has the 24E hammer conversion, you'll find that the transfer bar that was attached to the button selector is missing. The transfer bar for .22lr/.410 guns are very easy to find, but the ones for the .22lr/20 are a lot more difficult. Just thought you needed the heads up about the correct part before you started your search and possibly buy the wrong part.

czvz,
Savage did offer 2 satin nickel finish guns, but neither was chambered in .410. These guns were called the Survival models. The 24VS was chambered in either .357 magnum or .357 maximum over 20 gauge and had 20 inch barrels. The 24CS was chambered in .22lr over 20 gauge and also had 20 inch barrels. They both came with the standard stock and an accessory pistol grip.
You are probably correct about your gun being "In the White." And at $100 I think you made out with a good deal.

ratdog,
It would be hard to say for sure without examining the gun myself, but I believe there is two possible explanations for your gun.
There were 2 different factory nickel finish "Survival" models made. The 24VS (which were the ones you mentioned) that came in either .357 Mag or .357 Max over 20 gauge and the 24CS which only came in .22lr over 20 gauge. The 24VS was a 24V Series D with the barrels cut down to 20 inches, nickel finish, and oil rubbed walnut furniture that came with the pistol grip accessory. The 24CS was a 24C Series S with the nickel finish and oil rubbed walnut furniture that also came with the pistol grip accessory.
Likely your gun was either a gun a previous owner did a nickel refinish job on, or it could have been a Research and Develoment gun that they tried the nickel finish on. The only known R&D guns were the 24C Series M of which there was an estimated 100-150 made. But these guns are clearly marked R&D and number associated with them. We know at least on of those R&D guns carried either an either all satin chrome or satin nickel finish on it. To date I have only seen pictures of 5 of these R&D guns.
Unless your gun has one of these R&D marks, I would be left to believe that this was a refinish by a previous owner. I think all of us would at least be interested to see pictures of the gun if you wouldn't mind sharing them.

The Series M, N, & P guns were all pretty close. The only differences you might find is in the elevators or possibly the notch height. If it's too low the elevator should work to correct the issue. If it's too tall then you'll have to shave it down some with a file. Either way you can make it work.

I posted an inquiry on the forum section. I was refered to this post thread. Still can't identify exactly which model 24 I have. I'll describe it again. I am guessing it dates to the mid-60's. The item of confusion to me is the fact that it does not say "Savage model 24 anywhere on it. Is this normal? 22 WRM over 410. 24" tubes, button selector right side, walnut pistol grip and fore end, soldered full length tubes, tang opening lever, no serial #, no writing on right side of case hardened reciever, Savage Arms Company Chickopee Falls on left side reciever, Barrels only say 22 Mag. and 410 3". Circle with 1 inside of it on barrel under the fore end. It came with a Williams peep sight that mounts on left side and says 22-410 on it. oldclare, The lack of a model stamp would suggest to me it is a standard Model 24 circa 1950-1961. I have seen several with very light and or small model stampings from this era, so it could very well have been overlooked before it was sent out. But completely missing is a new one on me. The fact that it is a .22 WRM would narrow it down to 1959-1961. IIRC the model 24A was released for catalog year 1962. Every 24A I've examined has a bigger model stamping and all were deep and well defined. I really can't say for sure I'm right with any of this without fully examining it in person. You may want to look for the Savage Boss Code date stamp on the frame or barrels. You'll find info on how to read this on the FAQ page. If you report back with this info, I might be able to provide you with a better guesstimate on your gun.

One other thing to note, when Savage introduced the .22wrm to the model 24 they added the letter "M" to their hang tags and some advertising, but that didn't carry over into the catalogs. You will find hang tags the say 24M, 24MDL, & 24MS. It was eventually dropped.
This however should not be confused with the guns marked as "Series M" which were the 24 Field Grade, 24D Deluxe, and 24C Camper Companion. The "Series M" designation on the guns represents the first design for these guns not the caliber.
