Sure wish I could make out the date stamp in picture #3. Definitely a post-WW2 gun made during the last 5 years of production (1945-49) before Savage took over.
Thanks for the heads up BK!

Sold for $180 plus $25 shipping. More evidence of the rising value of Model 24s.

$180 depends. If you already have the furniture or are willing to pick some up at a swap meet or make your own, you could end up with a pretty inexpensive 24. It would also be a good starting point to build a pseudo camper model. And, I have seen a lot of these going for $250-400, so what would be the cost of replacement furniture and new style hammer, would it make or break what you could get a complete gun for?

I probably should have bought it, but...... Oddly enough, I have the furniture and a new-style hammer in my inventory. Now, I'm kicking myself, but I was too intent on the March Madness brackets to pay attention to this auction  |

I have seen a lot of these going for $250-400, so what would be the cost of replacement furniture and new style hammer, would it make or break what you could get a complete gun for? A selector-type hammer lists at $45.75 (dealer cost) from Numrich. Stock with buttplate (not walnut) lists at $77. A trigger guard (I think it needed one) is $11.85. A stock bolt is $6.45. Forend with metal is $60.55. Forend pivot plate is $12. That all comes to more than $200 (dealer cost; add 10% for retail), and it doesn't take into consideration all the screws and springs, etc., etc., that might be involved in a finished gun. So added to the cost of the auction parts plus shipping you'd be over $400 -- almost certainly more than a pieced-together gun without strong case color would be worth. And to restore it to original with Tenite (which it almost certainly had) would add bunches more to the cost. You're right in saying for someone with all the parts on hand, probably not a bad deal. I have the parts and watched the auction, but when it passed $150 I decided I don't need another 22/410 for what it would be worth, considering my added parts have value. I often find guns needing fewer parts/less work for less money by shopping the shows. |

Guess it wouldn't have broke even then buying all new parts for it, I hadn't looked up the price of the parts.
