A childhood mistake corrected...

Well done, very nice work. I just picked up a savage 24 a few weeks back. I want to restore it as well in the future. I hope it turns out as nice as yours.
 
Double Gun, Thank-you for a most enjoyable thread.
My old Savage 24 is a 22 Win. Mag./.410 and I wouldn't go hunting without it.
Your posts and threads never cease to be enjoyable.... Again, Thanks.
 
Very nice. I've had several of those O/U and hated the sights on every one of them. $ 5 would have put better sights on those guns and made them a lot more user friendly.
 
The bluing? Everybody will be different and it depends on whether or not you prep them yourself (ready to dip) or want the gunsmith to.

I love hearing these types of stories. I am not quite as nostalgic about guns but I have only one gun in my collection that I will never sell. Excellent work!

Guns come and go for me. There is a core of aging firearms, that all will never go, memories or hunting partners passed. It is hard to come up with any i would sell, sort of like the Vancouver Canucks aging core.
 
This is a good story and the final product is impressive.

The good times we all enjoyed in our younger days (before careers, family responsibilities and monetary concerns consumed our souls) are good to revisit from time to time to try and regain that perspective of what we actually enjoy in life.

I hope this rifle is a reminder of the simpler days and brings you back to that joyful mindset often.

Cheers.
 
At least the early Savage 24's they took their time at the plant to regulate the barrels.I have the same gun and it throws grouse/hun killing patterns out to 30 yards.A .410 cleaning brush will not exit the choke so that explains the tighter patterns.With the Russian "Bear" slugs, bean cans at 50 yards are doomed................I had two 30-30/20 ga guns and they were both garbage for regulation............Harold
