my .22/.410 OU has the following stamp in front of receiver on bottom of barrel: the number "7" and underneath are in capital letters "TK". On the very rear of .410 barrel is an oval with "1k". This is probably pretty easy for you experts. Would appreciate info...this is a gun I just bought and the metal is 99% and stock is 90%.
thanks

Wow, 52 reads in 10 days and no one responded yet! I must have glanced right over this one myself.
Based on your description with the small oval stamp containing a 1K would make it a 1959. Sounds like the condition is pretty good too, so if it shoots well you've found yourself a keeper. Congrats!

I appreciate your answer....I'm new here and thought I had asked a question that was inappropriate. Yes, it is a beautiful gun and an heirloom for the next generation to enjoy. Again, thanks.

Not inappropriate in the slightest. We just see the same ones quite often which is probably why I glanced over it so many times before I answered it.

Hi jdonley, welcome to the site. Some of us have been here a long time, and still don't know exactly how to cypher the date of manufacture of our guns! Odell has informed us that they went to serial numbers in 1968, I believe. I've recently acquired a .357Mag/20Ga in what I believe to be one of the earlier models. Mine has the "half moon' or scollops, the stock and fore arm finish is glossy, there is no animals nor birds on the receiver, there is nothing on the right side of the receiver, the top barrel is marked -Savage24V Series D- WESTFIELD MA CAL. 357MAG. The bottom barrel is marked... PROOF TESTED 20 GAUGE - 3 INCH CHAMBER. The barrels are separated, and joined at the muzzle with a metal block brazed in permanently. The front sight is dove tailed in, and the rear site is a flip down sight like the Ruger 1022. On the barrels, near the chamber, there is an oval with SP inside of it on the upper barrel. There is an H adjacent to the extractor. Then lower on the same location there is what appears to be a squared "U", or a mis-struck square, with an 8 inside of it. The trigger guard is plastic. It is missing, but there is a pocket for the Savage medallion on the pistol grip plate. Both the pistol grip plate and the butt-plate have the white-line shims. The fore arm is the full length model with hand groves on both sides and diamond checkering in the screw area. There is also diamond checkering on both sides of the pistol grip. The S/N is D1333xx...obviously, there are numbers instead of Xs. She's a beauty...when was she born? Odell is probably the only one that can tell me exactly. Thanks.

Just joined forum and noticed your model 24 has same serial number (1K) as one that has just come into my possession. I have been trying to disassemble in order to restore the finish and refinish stock. The side barrel selector switch has me completely stumped. Have tried unsuccessfully to simply unscrew the selector button with no luck. Really can't see it well because hammer is in the way, and can't drift out hammer pin because selector button partially covers. Any words of wisdom on how to proceed with this part of disassembly? Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Gary,
If you're talking about my gun, it doesn't have the barrel selector on the side of the receiver, it's on the hammer. To be honest, I haven't disassembled any of my Savage 24s beyond removing the butt-stock, pulling the fore arm, and taking the barrel off. Numrich has diagrams of various year models, that shows all the parts in an exploded view. Hopefully, this might help you. I've heard that some of those springs are under quite a bit of compression, so be careful. They might be hard to replace, if not impossible!

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, some of the springs are under a bit of tension.
Reassembly will be interesting.
