G'day all,
Recently "inherited" this Model 24 (Series P - Field Grade) .22 / .410.
An elderly gentleman living next door to my brother-in-law had let his licence lapse due to ill health. He didn't want to surrender his arms, only to have them destroyed by the local PD, so they were given to me.
One item was a H&R model 1915 which belonged to his father, barrel stamped 410 and .44 cal.
The other was the Savage 24, still greased, in the box looking unfired from 1975.
I've popped on a hollow rail for using irons, and a TRS-25 red dot on top, which works really well.
Need to tune the barrels a bit, to bring the .410 over and up couple of inches.
There's a slight bit of movement in the front band, which might need shimming.
Now trying to decide on a carry method for ammo.
Cuff with loops for .410, with .22 on a belt/sling,
Combo cuff with loops for .410 and .22
Custom cuff with .410 loops and a pouch for loose .22
And maybe a Skinner folding takedown case......... www.skinnersights.com/scabbards_20.html
decisions, decisions.
