bhosavag, Many years ago, I posted a disassembly/reassembly write-up of the Savage/Stevens 22 LR/410 ga. I have attached it to this post for your use, note it is a Microsoft Word file. It is specifically for the side selector model but can be used for almost any Savage 24. If you use it in conjunction with the correct 24 model diagram it should help you. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. Best of luck, neilrr

cdnshooter,
Welcome to the forum and Happy New Year. The rifle firing pin for the 24V and 24V series A, B, C and D for 30-30 are all the same part number (25A-77H) as well as their required firing pin springs (25-83). As to a gunsmith making one, the answer is yes if they are skilled enough or a capable machinist could also make one. There is not a lot of available dimensioned drawings for the 24. If it helps, the rifle firing pin and the spring for the 24V models listed above in both 30-30 and 222 are the same part numbers also.

vancmike,
Actually, easy. Use the same firing pin return spring and is installed the same way.

pacea2,
Welcome to the forum. Where are you located? I can possibly advise the name of a local gunsmith that does restorations.

lott26, welcome to the forum.
Your Savage .223 over 12 gauge is probably a Savage Model 24F. The Savage 24 main (hammer) spring is Savage part number 94-166. As suggested by TCL you can purchase a replacement main spring thru Numrich. Another choice would be to try Jack First.
Once you have purchased a replacement Savage 24 main (hammer) spring you can test fire the 12 gauge to see if this corrects the light strikes. If not, you can use the replacement Savage 24 main (hammer) spring's length, number of coils, and coil thickness information to purchase a set of stronger springs from Wolff as suggested by vancmike to see if this fixes the light strike.
Hope this was helpful.

RS, vancmike is absolutely correct. Due to the recoil of the gun when shooting multiple 22 rounds, especially 22 mags, a shotgun shell may misfire due to multiple light strikes. The reason that the 24 rifle's firing pin has a spring and the shotgun's firing pin does not is to keep the rifle's firing pin retracted to allow the barrel to easily close and not be obstructed by nor possible damage a protruding rifle firing pin. Firing pin springs were not originally installed by Stevens/Savage with the shotgun's firing pin as the gun's barrel will clear and easily retract it as the gun's barrel is fully locked up. To eliminate the issue that vancmike brought up with the shotgun firing pin you can install a rifle firing pin spring along with the shotgun's firing pin. This modification will counter the recoil effect of the 22 round, even 22 mags, and keep the shotgun firing pin fully retracted until it is intentionally struck by the hammer. I have made this modification in my and others 24s and have not experienced misfiring of the shotgun shell for the reason stated by vancmike.

captjack, If I remember correctly, due to the limited access I used a flathead screwdriver whose tip was bend 90 degrees to form the bottom of an "L" to loosen/tighten the top snap sleeve. screw. So, what did you find that was causing the barrel to lock up and not open?

Per the Savage Model 24 schematic found in Jack First's Gun Parts Book, Volume 3, Shotguns for Models 24, 24C, 24D Series M & P and S, part #34 is an Extractor Lever and is only found on Model 24 D Series M.

captjack, glad to hear that you were able to get the barrel open. I assume that the screw for the top snap sleeve was loose. When you put it back in it is advisable to use some non-permanent Loctite to ensure it does not come loose in the future, especially when shooting 357 Max. All the best.

captjack, welcome to the forum. The top snap (#25, thumb break) should pull, not push, the locking bolt assembly (#49) rearward or retrack it away from the barrel to allow the barrel to pivot open. Since you removed the two locking bolt plunger springs (#45 & #46) you should be able to manual pull the locking bolt assembly backward to allow the barrel to pivot open. It is possible that the screw retaining the top snap sleeve (#50) which locks the top snap to the locking bolt assembly has loosened up. If it has then the top snap sleeve will not rotate when the top snap is pushed sideways. Also, if the spring-loaded rifle firing pin is not fully retracting away from the barrel breech face can make opening the barrel hard and even prevent the barrel from closing.

If you purchase the "release button" replacement part from Numrich and it is the correct one for your model 24 it would be great to advise us so others who may need this same part know where they can obtain it. It is not unusual to find parts from other model firearms that will work as replacement parts in your model firearm since many manufacturers would use the same design from older model firearms in their newer ones. The basic idea is that if a design works why spend time and money to reinvent parts that are functional and work well.

model24s,
Go to the Nunrich website and look under Savage/Stevens/Springfield/Fox Shotguns 9478, part number 30. There is a "release button", new reproduction product #474140A for $14.95 that is very similar, if not the same as the part you are looking for and is in stock. The button and operating mechanism looks very similar to one on a schematic I found for a Savage 24C that has this type of release button. Numrich also has a new reproduction black plastic trigger guard if needed. Good luck.

model23s,
Welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you can post a picture of your gun and indicate which part you are looking to replace.

huntchic,
I have a 24V with a 222 Rem rifle barrel. For comparison I load Hornady #2267, FMJ-BT, 55 gr. copper bullets. At 100 yards I can consistently place 3 touching round holes on a paper target. The data on the Hornady bullet is as follows: dia. .224", BC: 0.243 and sectional density: 0.157. The Barnes TSX FB 55 gr. bullet data is as follows: .224" dia, BC: .209, and sectional density of 0.157. The 55 gr. should work, but as ptypegreen suggested look at a stable bullet calculator to check to see if your bullet of choice will stabilize with your rifle's twist. I did try a 53 gr. Hornady bullet, and it did not stabilize in my rifle. The 55 gr. works just fine.

double,
Per Brownell Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms, Parts & Assemblies the extractor screw's pitch and gauge, part number: 24-69, for a 24J-DL 22mag/20ga is: 5 X 40. Prior to re-taping the hole, check the screw size using a screw guage and check its threads against the tap you plan to use. If these 2 tests confirm the information above, then proceed to re-tap the hole. All the best
