410, 20-guage, and the ever-popular 12-gauge. The chamberings themselves produced a myriad of options including rifle calibers in not only 22 S/L/LR, but also 22 WMR. Savage over time improved the on-frame barrel selector and moved it to the hammer to make it more reliable, dropped the tenite moldings in favor of uncheckered walnut, and added other chamberings. The double gun was a handy 41-inches overall and 7-pounds flat.

410 would take up to 3″shells and had a full choke. All appears to work fine although I’ve only tested the 22. boiling water) They are made out of a hard plastic that is easy to sand down if the plate is oversized. The contour may be reshaped by heating(i.e. It measures 4 5/8' x 1 9/16' with 3' screw hole spacings on center. Some had different size plates- please see dimensions.

22 barrel would accept S, L and LR rimfire rounds and the same length. Good condition with a few minor marks or small surface rust marks (very minimal), 22 magnum over 20 gauge below. This is a new reproduction buttplate for the Stevens/ Savage model 24.410/ 22. Taking the Stevens combo gun, Savage retained the concept of a standing breech, break open rifle over shotgun combination gun, which utilized a rebounding hammer and rear pushing extractors. The same year the Stevens 22-410 went out of production, the Savage 24 was introduced. Savage had been (and still is) the parent company of Stevens since 1920, making it easy to see the import of the Savage 24’s concept. In 1950, the gun went out of production with Stevens. The Army Air force ordered 15,000 of them for use as aircrew survival rifles with a Tenite (an early thermoplastic) stock.

Stevens put the handy little marvel into production in 1938 with the appropriate moniker of the Model 22-410. 22 rimfire rifle barrel with a single sight, hammer, and trigger. Budget priced, and in near-constant production since 1939, these guns show up through much of the world. Our namesake firearm is probably the most common combination gun in the world. Now, if all I have is my combo gun, I feel that these few additions will help keep me alive in the wilderness.This firm came about with a combination gun with a smoothbore. This is a Savage model 24 enthusiasts site, but is in no way affiliated with, nor does it represent Savage Arms Inc. It may also be disassembled for ease of stowage. 410 gauge model weighs 7 pounds, has 24-inch barrels and an overall length of 41-inches. I put a piece of duct tape over the butt of the stock to help protect the contents and then screwed the butt plate back on. The Savage Model 24 is an American made over-and-under combination gun manufactured by Savage Arms. In this hole I placed a small compass, a fire striker, some jute string for tinder, a small packet with 5 fishhooks and 5 sinkers, a 30 feet of mono-filament fishing line. I took a 7/8” paddle bit and drilled another hole into the butt that is about two inches deep. I figured this would keep the tube from rattling around and provide me with some cleaning patches. When this tube was inserted into the hole, I had about an inch-and-a-half of space left over so I cut a strip of cloth, rolled it up, and stuffed it in the hole.

I scrounged up a long plastic tube that would hold 18 more CB’s and 6 more long rifles. I removed the butt plate and found that a nice, deep hole had been drilled for the nut that attaches the receiver to the stock. 22 long rifle hollow points and ten CB’s. In the fifth loop I inserted a plastic coin tube with a screw on lid. This sleeve has five loops on it, so I placed 20 gauge buckshot shells in four of the loops. Next I bought a cartridge sleeve for the stock. The sling makes it easier to carry the gun and it can be dissembled to provide a lot of cordage. Then I used fifty feet of 550 para-cord to tie up a nice cobra knot sling. They are parts kits, sold as-is and include everything pictured. The first thing I did was buy a set of sling mounts and attach them to the gun. Savage: Model: 87A: Barrel Length: 24'-24.99' Calibers/ Gauges: 22 S/L/LR: Completeness: Condition: Finish: Blued: NOTE: Parts kits are NOT functioning firearms. I decided to make a few modifications to my combo gun so that even if the gun was all I had time to grab, I would still have a fighting chance at survival. Someone 100 yards away won’t even hear the discharge. 22 caliber subsonic rounds that have a signature about like an air rifle but are capable of penetrating 300 pages of a telephone book. It can be used to hunt anything from wood rats to deer, and in a pinch it can serve as a personal defense weapon. It is light, well made, accurate, and has few moving parts. The gun that sits next to my bug-out bag is an old Savage Model 24 combo gun chambered in.
