I have a Savage 24 223/20 with a black plastic stock, I have had the gun for 40 years I am 76 years old now I have never shot it at a varmint lol 😂 I give $450.00 at a auction. The older guy bought it for coyote hunting, the 223 for long range the 20GA for closer shots. My stock bolt for the but plate busted out ,& the stock is hollow so you can use it for extra bullets or whatever, so I have mine torn pup right now, I have 2 -24c. Stands for camper. Special, I love all 3, the campers are 22/20GA . Be safe hootie-hoo.
Saw recently a video about the SAVAGE manufacturing plant. Everything is possible with their custom department with a good turnaround time for many things, INCLUDING stocks of out of production models in stock. Just call the Lady managing the custom shop orders.
Was a Anti-gunner handling your once nice Savage 😢. Growing up I had 3 guns. Ruger Nylon 22,243,Savage 24 22 over 20 gauge. Lord I want my old pewpews!
Friend, I would have that inspected by a qualified gun smith because that rifle was torqued vertically from the top-down with enough force to blow those chips Off the front of that stock which means that there's a possibility that those barrels are slightly bent. It looks like you're trigger guard is bent slightly. It is incredibly unfortunate that that has happened to you. But really you should have it inspected..
First, the shipper and shipping company are responsible for the damage, File a claim. Second do Not use epoxy, get some Tite- Bond wood glue lightly coat both surfaces and get the pieces back in place. From the looks it was dropped on the butt-stock and cracked those parts off. High probability the gun itself was damaged so I would at least make an attempt to get your money back or paid to have it professionally repaired. I’ve fixed ones in worse shape. FYI replacement stocks are available, just search SAvage 24 stock, the came in a flat backed receiver like yours and one with scallops on the side. A call to Savage may reveal the more common scalloped may be able to be fit to your gun
My uncle had one of those. Someone broke in his house recently and stole it. Where we have land, we never had to worry about locking our doors because we were so far away from any city. Now we have to have gun safes.
On my mothers birthday, 01/03/1970, my Uncle Richard took me to Will’s Pawn Shop in downtown Cincinnati. With money saved from mowing grass I bought a Savage model 24 S-D. 22LR on top, .410 on the bottom. Mine is the one piece barrel. My first gun! I wouldn’t think about ever selling this gun. It will get passed on to my son when my time is up!
Wow. That’s a great story. You should write it down and put a paper copy of it with the gun. My dad recently passed and the little notes he left with things meant more than the items themselves. Go ahead and do it. We don’t know how much time we have. Wishing you a long and happy life with your family.
Back in the 1970s, my friend had one of those in .222 and 20 gauge. Sweet little combination. Good luck with your new acquisition. I'm sure it will look fine, once you repair the stock.
Hey wtw, you found a good one. I have the same rifle in 222 20 gauge. Got a big gobbler with it opening day here in ga. I also have the 22 410 and the 22 mag 20 gauge. Really like these rifles. You actually found a rare one. Most 223s are 24f. That stock is really hard to find. They are notorious for breaking rite where yours broke. All except the v and f models had scalloped notch where it meets the action. Those stocks are easy to find, and you can modify them to fit. Cant wait to see the range video on this one. Ive messed with these guns quite a bit. Anything i can help with, give me a shout.
These model 24 over/under stocks are commonly damaged in the same places yours is broken. I'd just give Boyd's a call for new aftermarket wood stock. Just make certain dimensions are the right fit. For example: Boyd's replacement stock will be dimensionally crafted using whatever vintage model 24 they have for duplication process.
I came here to say the exact same thing , i would say 3 out of 10 i ever came across was either missing a chip on one side or both sides like this one , i would presume it was already weakened and the shipping trip didn't help it. Shit happens when you party naked and shit happens when you ship guns its gona happen
Thanks for sharing, WTW. When I was growing up during the 1950s over-under guns were fairly common and like yours, they typically had the rifle barrel on top and the shotgun barrel below.
I'd be taking pictures of the damage and reaming the shipping company for the repair costs. Even if it meant having custom wood made for it. That would really look good with Tiger maple furniture, or some old growth cherry.
People want to automatically blame the shipping company, and while they are partially to blame the company or seller that didn’t care enough to package it properly holds the majority of it.
@@redrider7730I also question whether it hadn't been repaired once before. Then in shipping those repairs that weren't noticed in the shop came apart. Hard to say really.
@@redrider7730I mean… it was inside a padded case and I’m sure a card board box. They need to handle their packages with more care. The damage looks like it’s from slamming the stock on something. It looks like someone used it as a sledge hammer. 100% shipping company fault in my opinion.
@@redrider7730 with what happened, bubble wrap wouldn’t have prevented anything. You would need end to end rigidity to prevent what happened. Which a box would provide over bubble wrap or peanuts. And the box didn’t even work. So they had to basically bend that box or slam one end down really hard to break it like they did. Idk why you gotta be snotty and challenge my intelligence. You don’t know me. And yeah. I think a padded rifle case specifically designed for protecting rifles and a box should have been fine. It offers 360 padding and a rigid box to prevent it from folding damage. So the box must have gotten smashed and folded end to end, basically, to damage the stock like this. The damage is as though someone when closing the rifle slammed it shut as hard as humanly possible. Or like someone threw the rifle like a spear, butt first, into the concrete. Which is probably most likely close what happened. The box probably fell on the butt end straight down from a big height. I bet it was crumpled like hell on the butt end. AGain: (IN MY OPINION) it’s the shipping companies fault for not protecting the package. You shouldn’t have to ship it inside a steel box filled with foam. A soft case inside a box should have been fine. But no. They freaking wrecked it.
Savage 24's were a very sweet setup. Came in a standard version (which you have), and a deluxe version that had the barrel selection as a sliding button on the side of the frame. A number of combinations were available. Most common, 22LR and 22 mag over 410 and 20 guage. 222/410, 222/20, 223/20, 223/12, 30-30/20, 30-30/12 were all common combinations. I've seen a 30-30/410, but I think that was one of the rarest. Originally, the barrels were bored from a single steel blank, but later models were two barrels joined. That joining also changed over time from a typical "shotgun" solder technique to a coupling sleeve. The most accurate are the two separate barrels joined by a coupler, but the originals were pretty accurate "as is." After production ceased, Savage did come out with a "modernized" version that's still available (somewhere), but I don't like the looks or feel of that one. Agree with a couple of other commenters that you need to have everything checked by a gunsmith. Shipping trauma that was severe enough to cause that kind of stock damage could potentially cause barrel damage as well.
I'm 58 and they were aleays difficult to obtain by the mid 80's. The one i really wanted back then that was the 30-30/12ga but it was virtually unobtainium by then.
Glad you pronounced Olathe correctly . So many don’t . I’m on the Missouri side but it’s all the part of the Kansas City Metro where you have to look for the signs to even know you went from Kansas City Mo. to Kansas City Ks . Or all the other smaller cities included in the metro .
I have a Savage model 24. It's a .22/410 over under combo. The barrel selector is on the side of the frame and moves up/down as you might expect. This was my first gun and will never leave my collection. Dad gave it to me when I turned 13, and it was older than I was at that time. Great small game gun.
My Grandpa had one, but it was a 22lr over 410 I remember taking it squirrel hunting when I was about 15 years old and I broke the barrel selector switch off, had to take it to a gunsmith. I can't remember if the selector was on the receiver or the tang when I broke it, but I do remember how he fixed it because it looked just like the selector on your's which was on the hammer. I also have a feeling the stock may have already been broke before they shipped it because I have seen several single shot shotguns with wood being broke the same way I even have a BAR in 7 mag that's got a crack in the same area.
I’ve got a 30-30 over 12ga.. got it for walking thickets in grown over clear cuts and just never did. If memory serves me correctly it’s never been shot.
If I recall correctly, and its very possible I don't, the 24's are based on the 94 single shot platform. I believe you can make a 94 stock fit without too much work. I'd imagine Numrich Gun Parts would be the place to watch for a replacement stock set. I've always had good luck with Savage parts there.
I’ve watched your channel for a while now and thought it was pretty cool that you picked up a rifle at a shop in my hometown that I frequently visit. Sorry to hear that it wasn’t packaged very well and ended up damaged in shipping.
Hi Adam, the 24v had many different combo's. I owned 2, 1 in 22/410 and 222/20gauge. Once you figured the select barrel you should find that they shoot very good. I should never have sold either of them. Have fun and enjoy your New/Used Bing Bang..
I sold my long guns collection about 10 years ago. Some were very special collectables. I paid a local shop to crate the guns and added the expense to the price. It was worth it. The crates were crush proof and really impressed my buyers.
Back in the 60's, my Cousin had two of these rifles. One was a 30-30/12 Gauge and the other was a .22/410 Gauge. I was always very impressed with these rifles and wanted one but they were rare and expensive.
Nice gun. Sorry that they didnt pack it any better & that the shipping apes damaged it so. I do believe that it can be fixed. I cannot imagine what kind of impact could cause that while it was packaged! 😟
I’m 80 years old , when I was younger several of my friends had the.22/.410 ; in later years I saw a fair amount of .222 / 12 ga. After retirement I worked in a large gun store and many different variations came through.
They are guns from a different age. Really nice in 223 over 20. Believe it or not I found a 357 max over 20. Had to have it. First I ever saw. Since I got mine I have seen only one other with 357 maximum barrel. They are wonderful guns. I always wanted a 24C. A camper’s model. It came in a small case. I also have a 22 LR over 20. Beautiful made in 50s and 60s. Very sorry to see your’s broken stock. A good smith with epoxy can make it look new. A big fan in Fl.
I have a few of these. And stocks are available from a few locations. I just posted a video on my 24v 222/20 and more to come. Internet searchers will result in wood for you. I had to do same on my 357 Maxi/20ga. Was badly splintered wood EXACT same as yours.
Hey, Who_Tee_Hoo, I learnt to shoot with one of these. My Father has 2 of them, the one I used alot when I was young, was a .22lr over a .410 shotgun. Later he found a .22 over 20 guage to add to his collection. I have really fond memories as a teenager stalking around bushes to bust bunnies.
I have a Model 24 .22lr/3”.410. I have owned this since about 1966, my grandfather gave it to me. He bought it new. It is old enough that it does not have a serial number. The color case hardening on the receiver is still beautiful. The gun is probably 90+%l. As a teenager in the ‘60s I shot thousands of rounds through it. Uncounted small game/varmints have met their demise from this gun.
Sorry to hear your stock got busted up. I think you still can get replacements for these. I have these rifles in the 30 30,20 gauge and 357 magnum, 20 gauge 22, hornet 20 gauge 22 mag 20 gauge and three of the 222 20 gauge. Something I learned the hard way is these are hunting rifles, and only like to be shot once because of the harmonics vibrations of the barrels. You will have to site these in with one shot then let the ruffle rest for five minutes or more. All of them are very accurate, but are only at one shot gun as this is a hunting rifle shotgun. Always wanted to make a RUclips video on it so if you want to make one, that would be awesome for the rest of the people as your videos are awesome thank you.
I would call the gun shop and have them file an insurance claim. I'm sure they insured the firearm. You also mentioned a hard case that you could have used to bring the gun home. The case in the video is a softcase and you wouldn't be able to fly with that. i have one these in 22WMR/20Gauge. i can't hunt turkey with it because we can only use shotguns in Maryland but it is fun and accurate within 30 yards. best of luck and keep the great videos coming.
My 1st cousin had one that he used when we hunted together.( mid 1960’s.) his was a .22 over 20 gauge. The rifle barrel was designed to shoot all .22’s except for the magnum cartridge. John took many squirrels with that combo.
Ive got a Savage 24 that is 223 over 12 gauge. Has screw in chokes. Never been fired, still has the tags on it. I bought it from an estate a few years ago.
Nice find! The wood can be repaired easily and you wouldn’t even see it. It’s a good gun, and not so common anymore in the US . Those are Grade A meat makers!
Back in the early 70s my uncle had a 222 20 gauge over under that when you fired the20 it would break open and he had to have it repaired. A great gun .
Sorry to see that it got damaged! That SUCKS! It probably had some heavy weight dropped on it. Did they ship it with insurance?? I hope it works out for you WTW! I have a couple. I have one like this, .223/12 GA with the black composite stock. Take my advice... ONLY SHOOT 45 TO 50 GRAIN BUL-LETS IN IT!!! DO NOT SHOT 556 55 GR OR ANYTHING HEAVIER. They will keyhole. Mine shoots 45 gr rem like a laser beam! These are set up for varmint hunting and have a 1-14 inch twist. Hope this helps you enjoy an really awesome set-up. Good luck with that. Rangers... Lead the Way!
Damn the luck....Don't use epoxy use carpenters wood glue. Tightbond or comparable. It creates a bond waterproof stronger than the wood itself and excess glue squeeze out can be cleaned off with a damp rag before it dries. Then wrap with blue painters masking tape to hold in place til totally dry. Probably won't be able to see it ever was broken if all pieces are there. Just a thought good luck and keep a slinging!
I have two, my dads and grandfathers. Both are 22lr/410. They have a little button on the side of the receiver that selects the barrel you want to fire vs the selector on the hammer.
... there are other O/Us with rifle & shotgun barrels ... for instance I have a Baikal IZH-94 which is a 12 gauge/308 win break open O/U ... the rifle barrel is underneath the 12 ga barrel and is very accurate ... it has 2 triggers and is a takedown ... like everything Russian it is built like a tank ... I machined a Weaver style base for the gun on which is currently perched a Leupold VX-2 Ultralight 2-7x28 scope attached by Leupold QD rings which can be removed & re-attached without shifting the POI more than 1/4"
In Germany we have a perfect word for over/under rifle and shotgun combinations. It's called Bockbüchsflinte. Don't confuse it with the word for the pumpgun "Vorderschaftrepetierflinte" or bolt action "Kammernstengelrepetierflinte".
I have a 222 REM and 20 ga. It’s in perfect shape. I used to Turkey hunt with it. But it’s been put away for decades. You can’t use a rifle to spring gobbler hunt in my state anymore. So it doesn’t get used. My Dad took a nice gobbler at over 100 yards with it in the early 90s. I think that the only Turkey shot with the 222.
As someone who works in shipping that is the exact reason I use a good amount of packing paper or bubble wrap, and have never had to file a claim for damages to date. Hopefully that stock can be repaired and look almost as good as it did before.
Awesome bingbang! I know the anger about having something damaged in shipping 😊. I ordered a 10/22 Ruger eagle etched that came scratched up, and the box screwed up. There's nothing like yours, but I'm sure the pain is the same. Brother, i am very sorry. Thank you for sharing. Awesome bingbang! A good wood worker might be the best choice if you are going to keep it.
You can achieve the same versatility with any 20 or 12 gauge O/U and a barrel insert. Savage used to make the "Four-Tenner," which was a .410 insert for a 12 gauge barrel, and it supported .45 Colt. Other inserts for 12 Gauge provide inserts with chambers for .45 ACP, .40 S&W, and many other handgun and rifle rounds. There are insert kits that come with multiple caliber inserts, each of which is about 6 inches or so long - even .22, slightly offset so that the hammer impacts the rimfire's rim. Sort of a SHTF device that gives you firepower support no matter what you can find after the zombie apocalypse.
@@GregBrown-f1o And D'Oh! - that's exactly what barrel inserts provide. For example, a side by side or over/under with one barrel loaded with shotgun shell and the other with an insert, loaded with a pistol or rifle round.
@@MrGsteele exactly what you get is not a rifle barrel, maybe in a desperate situation it's better than nothing but it's not the same, I can shoot with a rifle barrel at 200 yds with open sights, good luck hitting something at 25 with insert
@@GregBrown-f1o Two totally different issues - using something like a Chaszel full length adapter in .45-70 or .30-30 or 7.62x39, you have functionally, rifle accuracy in the field; they'll shoot to point of aim as well as you can hold offhand. The other issue is versatility - meaning short adapters, which are for SHTF situations where you may not be able to rely on a supply of any particular ammunition. Having adapters allows you, in a pinch, to use any ammunition you come across within the scope of the adapter set - for example, .22 LR, .243, .30-30, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .410 gauge, etc. On the one hand, you are converting an over/under to a drilling-like combination; on the other hand, you have an arm that - compromised though it might be - will allow you to shoot any ammunition you come across in a zombie apocalypse. Or, with both, both. Any gun and ammunition is better than any gun but no ammunition.
YES! I'd have happily paid a premium for that. That's the nicest example of the model I've seen. & I have seen a few. Damn shame it took a beating on its way home. Nice find!
These are Combo guns originally designed as a woodsman survival gun. Shotgun for birds. Rifle for ground-game. I have a Baikal IZH-94, imported from Russia. It is a 12GA/.223. Beautiful wood, pretty brass triggers and shoots great. These types of guns are pretty awesome. Sucks about your broken stock.
My Savage 24 bought on GB got damaged in shipment in the same place and two pieces broke off real clean. The seller did an insurance claim and gave me all my money back but gun smith told me to glue them back in place and hold with some rubber tubing and it came out all right. Mine is 22 mag and 20 gauge. I have a Russian gun, Baikal of the same design in 30-06 and 12 gauge and it has the rifle on the bottom and shotgun on top.
I have my grandfather's .222/20 gauge. My dad gave it to me when I was ten. My grandfather had a 22lr/410. He shot a rattler and it still stuck his cocker spaniel. He traded for the one I have now.
LGS had a 22/ 20g. Thought it was over priced. Than I saw one on MarksmanTV, back when they could tell the prices. Bought that one for $150 less. Still playing with it. Also got a 357 mag insert for it. Love it, 3 guns in one.
They used to be everywhere. Most of them I saw were 22lr over 20 or 410 gauges. I always wanted one but couldn't afford one. I was raising 4 kids. Oh! Check with the dealer you nought it from. HE surly insured it.
That’s a cool Boolot Slinger. Bring it to a reputable gunsmith and have them repair the stock. They do amazing work restoring old Slingers. Good luck Adam. BTW we all Overpay for our friends now and then. Buy it while you can before it’s gone.
A number of years ago I had a double barrel over and under that came in various configurations . The make was a Valmet and the model was a 412. I believe that there was some connection between Savage & Valmet on these guns. Enjoy it.
It's a shame when people don't package firearms correctly, knowing they are going to get thrashed around. A good gunsmith also trained in wood working can easily repair that stock without making it look like a 1st grader glued it back together. One more thing...the trigger guard is not bent, it's mounted backwards.
These were fairly common in the 70s growing up in VA. Several of my friends and family members used them during deer drives. Shotgun w/buckshot for up close, centerfire for longer quick shot. As I recall the centerfires were not terribly accurate and my Uncle moved on to a Valmet of the same style which were higher quality. Sorry to hear about the damage.
Keep break clean , may be better to glue and clamp each side one at a time still attached to gun then remove stock and refinish it . I have a Winchester mod 42 the very same chips got broke . I glued both chips at once with Elmers white glue all , wrapped two strands off high grade electrical tape round and round stretching tape then put 2 worm gear steel clamps around tape and tightened. The tape keeps wood from marring. Then removed and refinished stock . Lot of trouble but still a 2 grand shotgun . Elmers is vey strong if clamped on clean break and gives you plenty of time to clamp .that’s really a pisser that they are so rough in shipping
Hey WTW! I was lucky enough to get a Savage 24d Series P in 22mag over 20 ga from am old timer who was downsizing as he headed towards retirement. Mine is in pristine condition and have shot the 22mag barrel a few times. Recently, I have seen them going for around $800-900. I got mine for $525 a few years ago. Nice gun. Sorry yours got banged up in shipping.
I would probably file a claim on shipping and then just order a stock from Boyds Stocks. They have the pattern and can make one fore you out of different qualities of Walnut.
All I can say is WOW! That Bing Bang took one hell of a hit for that to happen, something like a 20 foot fall and landed straight on the butt stock. I’d be very cautious shooting it now until I could get it inspected by a licensed professional gunsmith. Maybe now that the damage is done, and the bing bangs value is somewhat diminished a replacement stock by, oh Boyds might be a better option than repairing the damaged one. Maybe Boyds could provide you one for free so you could do a nice little review of their products!
I like my lever and bolts and so ons but the brake open love senders will stay . They do not mess up often. Mean more foods in the freezer. Nice even with the damage.
My only experience with that gun store is I wasted $200 for their “gunsmiths” to get an AR10 cycling. Needless to say I wasted my money and took it to a real gunsmith who had it a few hours and had it working flawlessly.
Oh man. That sucks. They don't owe you a stock, they owe you your money back. I hope you filed a claim with the shipper too, but also I hope you saved those pieces. I never repaired a stock like that but I've repaired lots of wood furniture by gluing the broken pieces back on and refinishing the piece and the repairs are undetectable.
A friend of mine had a Savage over and under back in the 60’s . We hunted and plinked a lot together gather on my family’s farm back then. I think that I remember it better by a 22 LR on today and a 3 inch 410 on the bottom. It was a fun gun although I never thought they were as good as a dedicated rifle or shotgun. I think they’re a good survival weapon, though.
Very nice. I went to Mitchell SD yesterday and bought a Remington 700 BDL in 8mm Remington Magnum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remington quit producing them in 1985!!!!! Unless you got mega $$$ and have their custom shop build one!! 🤣🤣🤣
A good gunsmith or even a good furniture/wood guy can fix the stock with the pieces that you have there, and no one including yourself will be able to see it’s been damaged & repaired!! I’m not kidding! That is a beautiful stock. I don’t understand why that happened? It’s only in those two areas

Friend, I would have that inspected by a qualified gun smith because that rifle was torqued vertically from the top-down with enough force to blow those chips Off the front of that stock which means that there's a possibility that those barrels are slightly bent.
It looks like you're trigger guard is bent slightly.
It is incredibly unfortunate that that has happened to you.
But really you should have it inspected..
That’s a great idea mate I second that, just to know it’s safe to use, better it be someone else it blows up on cheers people 🤙✌️

On my mothers birthday, 01/03/1970, my Uncle Richard took me to Will’s Pawn Shop in downtown Cincinnati. With money saved from mowing grass I bought a Savage model 24 S-D. 22LR on top, .410 on the bottom. Mine is the one piece barrel. My first gun! I wouldn’t think about ever selling this gun.

Go ahead and do it. We don’t know how much time we have. Wishing you a long and happy life with your family.
Back in the 1970s, my friend had one of those in .222 and 20 gauge. Sweet little combination.
Good luck with your new acquisition. I'm sure it will look fine, once you repair the stock.
Nice find,sorry they didn't do a better job in the shipping, people just don't take pride in anything anymore!!
In the seventies my friend had the 22/410 combo, he probably still has it
I Have a Savage model 24 se 22mag over 20 gauge That my dad bought in 1965 for $50 , Its in perfect shape
Hey wtw, you found a good one. I have the same rifle in 222 20 gauge. Got a big gobbler with it opening day here in ga. I also have the 22 410 and the 22 mag 20 gauge. Really like these rifles. You actually found a rare one. Most 223s are 24f. That stock is really hard to find. They are notorious for breaking rite where yours broke.

Ive messed with these guns quite a bit. Anything i can help with, give me a shout.
Sorry to hear that it got damaged Adam hopefully you'll be able to get it repaired
These model 24 over/under stocks are commonly damaged in the same places yours is broken. I'd just give Boyd's a call for new aftermarket wood stock. Just make certain dimensions are the right fit. For example: Boyd's replacement stock will be dimensionally crafted using whatever vintage model 24 they have for duplication process.
I came here to say the exact same thing , i would say 3 out of 10 i ever came across was either missing a chip on one side or both sides like this one , i would presume it was already weakened and the shipping trip didn't help it. Shit happens when you party naked and shit happens when you ship guns its gona happen
Yes, Boyds gunstocks sells those stocks.
Thanks for sharing, WTW. When I was growing up during the 1950s over-under guns were fairly common and like yours, they typically had the rifle barrel on top and the shotgun barrel below.
I'd be taking pictures of the damage and reaming the shipping company for the repair costs. Even if it meant having custom wood made for it. That would really look good with Tiger maple furniture, or some old growth cherry.
People want to automatically blame the shipping company, and while they are partially to blame the company or seller that didn’t care enough to package it properly holds the majority of it.
@@redrider7730I also question whether it hadn't been repaired once before. Then in shipping those repairs that weren't noticed in the shop came apart. Hard to say really.
@@matthewbeaver5026looked like clean wood on the breaks to me.
@@redrider7730I mean… it was inside a padded case and I’m sure a card board box. They need to handle their packages with more care. The damage looks like it’s from slamming the stock on something. It looks like someone used it as a sledge hammer. 100% shipping company fault in my opinion.
@@redrider7730 with what happened, bubble wrap wouldn’t have prevented anything. You would need end to end rigidity to prevent what happened. Which a box would provide over bubble wrap or peanuts. And the box didn’t even work. So they had to basically bend that box or slam one end down really hard to break it like they did.
Idk why you gotta be snotty and challenge my intelligence. You don’t know me.
And yeah. I think a padded rifle case specifically designed for protecting rifles and a box should have been fine. It offers 360 padding and a rigid box to prevent it from folding damage. So the box must have gotten smashed and folded end to end, basically, to damage the stock like this. The damage is as though someone when closing the rifle slammed it shut as hard as humanly possible. Or like someone threw the rifle like a spear, butt first, into the concrete. Which is probably most likely close what happened. The box probably fell on the butt end straight down from a big height. I bet it was crumpled like hell on the butt end.
AGain: (IN MY OPINION) it’s the shipping companies fault for not protecting the package.
You shouldn’t have to ship it inside a steel box filled with foam.
A soft case inside a box should have been fine. But no. They freaking wrecked it.
Savage 24's were a very sweet setup. Came in a standard version (which you have), and a deluxe version that had the barrel selection as a sliding button on the side of the frame. A number of combinations were available. Most common, 22LR and 22 mag over 410 and 20 guage. 222/410, 222/20, 223/20, 223/12, 30-30/20, 30-30/12 were all common combinations. I've seen a 30-30/410, but I think that was one of the rarest. Originally, the barrels were bored from a single steel blank, but later models were two barrels joined. That joining also changed over time from a typical "shotgun" solder technique to a coupling sleeve.
The most accurate are the two separate barrels joined by a coupler, but the originals were pretty accurate "as is."
After production ceased, Savage did come out with a "modernized" version that's still available (somewhere), but I don't like the looks or feel of that one.
Agree with a couple of other commenters that you need to have everything checked by a gunsmith. Shipping trauma that was severe enough to cause that kind of stock damage could potentially cause barrel damage as well.
I'm 58 and they were aleays difficult to obtain by the mid 80's.
The one i really wanted back then that was the 30-30/12ga but it was virtually unobtainium by then.
Glad you pronounced Olathe correctly . So many don’t . I’m on the Missouri side but it’s all the part of the Kansas City Metro where you have to look for the signs to even know you went from Kansas City Mo. to Kansas City Ks . Or all the other smaller cities included in the metro .
I have a Savage model 24. It's a .22/410 over under combo. The barrel selector is on the side of the frame and moves up/down as you might expect. This was my first gun and will never leave my collection. Dad gave it to me when I turned 13, and it was older than I was at that time. Great small game gun.
My Grandpa had one, but it was a 22lr over 410 I remember taking it squirrel hunting when I was about 15 years old and I broke the barrel selector switch off, had to take it to a gunsmith. I can't remember if the selector was on the receiver or the tang when I broke it, but I do remember how he fixed it because it looked just like the selector on your's which was on the hammer. I also have a feeling the stock may have already been broke before they shipped it because I have seen several single shot shotguns with wood being broke the same way I even have a BAR in 7 mag that's got a crack in the same area.
Adam went full send on the manscape ad! 👍
I’ve got a 30-30 over 12ga.. got it for walking thickets in grown over clear cuts and just never did. If memory serves me correctly it’s never been shot.
Sorry about your stock being damaged. It's sickening to see such damage that cannot be replaced. Good luck with the repairs.
If I recall correctly, and its very possible I don't, the 24's are based on the 94 single shot platform. I believe you can make a 94 stock fit without too much work. I'd imagine Numrich Gun Parts would be the place to watch for a replacement stock set. I've always had good luck with Savage parts there.
Cool gun. I've wanted one for about 50yrs, ever since seeing one in Shooting Times magazine as a kid.
Anybody remember Skeeter Skelton?
You must have an economy auto parts store you go to with the reman econo power battery on your seat 😂
Back in the earlier 70’s my cousin bought the 222/20 gauge for Turkey hunting . Sweet little gun .
I’ve watched your channel for a while now and thought it was pretty cool that you picked up a rifle at a shop in my hometown that I frequently visit. Sorry to hear that it wasn’t packaged very well and ended up damaged in shipping.
Bigtime bummer
Hi Adam, the 24v had many different combo's. I owned 2, 1 in 22/410 and 222/20gauge.
Once you figured the select barrel you should find that they shoot very good. I should never have sold either of them. Have fun and enjoy your New/Used Bing Bang..
I sold my long guns collection about 10 years ago. Some were very special collectables. I paid a local shop to crate the guns and added the expense to the price. It was worth it. The crates were crush proof and really impressed my buyers.
Back in the 60's, my Cousin had two of these rifles.
One was a 30-30/12 Gauge and the other was a .22/410 Gauge.
I was always very impressed with these rifles and wanted one but they were rare and expensive.
410 isn’t a gauge it’s a caliber, it’s the exception in the world of shotguns
@@jaydunbar7538😂 was gonna say the samething, almost exactly word for word 😅
Great show Kenny!! You nailed it!!
My pap had the 222/20 gauge now it has been passed on to me. Makes a good fall turkey rifle!
Nice gun. Sorry that they didnt pack it any better & that the shipping apes damaged it so. I do believe that it can be fixed. I cannot imagine what kind of impact could cause that while it was packaged! 😟
UPS & FedEx have been known to intentionally damage long gunboxes.
Good question!
I’m 80 years old , when I was younger several of my friends had the.22/.410 ; in later years I saw a fair amount of .222 / 12 ga. After retirement I worked in a large gun store and many different variations came through.
They are guns from a different age. Really nice in 223 over 20. Believe it or not I found a 357 max over 20. Had to have it. First I ever saw. Since I got mine I have seen only one other with 357 maximum barrel. They are wonderful guns. I always wanted a 24C. A camper’s model. It came in a small case. I also have a 22 LR over 20. Beautiful made in 50s and 60s. Very sorry to see your’s broken stock. A good smith with epoxy can make it look new. A big fan in Fl.
LOL!!! That was a dedicated manscape plug. Ol Boy buzzed his whole head.
I have a few of these. And stocks are available from a few locations.
I just posted a video on my 24v 222/20 and more to come.
Internet searchers will result in wood for you.
I had to do same on my 357 Maxi/20ga. Was badly splintered wood EXACT same as yours.
Hey CW Longshot, I was just thinking of your video that I watched the ohter day as I watched this one!
@@floridagunrat1625 Thanks Brother!
Hope he is able to get this repaired. Its a Get fun gun!!
A suggestion for saving what’s left of the stock… I’m pretty sure Boyd’s makes a laminate for these.
Beautiful rifle Who T. My brother did some similar damage to a shotgun . I had a guy I know who's good with wood fix it. He did an awesome repair job.
I bet Boyds can make a new walnut stock for that. Just an option.
Hey, Who_Tee_Hoo, I learnt to shoot with one of these. My Father has 2 of them, the one I used alot when I was young, was a .22lr over a .410 shotgun. Later he found a .22 over 20 guage to add to his collection. I have really fond memories as a teenager stalking around bushes to bust bunnies.
I have a Model 24 .22lr/3”.410. I have owned this since about 1966, my grandfather gave it to me. He bought it new. It is old enough that it does not have a serial number. The color case hardening on the receiver is still beautiful. The gun is probably 90+%l. As a teenager in the ‘60s I shot thousands of rounds through it. Uncounted small game/varmints have met their demise from this gun.
Sorry to hear your stock got busted up. I think you still can get replacements for these. I have these rifles in the 30 30,20 gauge and 357 magnum, 20 gauge 22, hornet 20 gauge 22 mag 20 gauge and three of the 222 20 gauge. Something I learned the hard way is these are hunting rifles, and only like to be shot once because of the harmonics vibrations of the barrels. You will have to site these in with one shot then let the ruffle rest for five minutes or more. All of them are very accurate, but are only at one shot gun as this is a hunting rifle shotgun. Always wanted to make a RUclips video on it so if you want to make one, that would be awesome for the rest of the people as your videos are awesome thank you.
Boyds makes new stocks for the 24. I know it sucks that the factory stock was busted, but new ones are available.
I would call the gun shop and have them file an insurance claim. I'm sure they insured the firearm. You also mentioned a hard case that you could have used to bring the gun home. The case in the video is a softcase and you wouldn't be able to fly with that.
i have one these in 22WMR/20Gauge. i can't hunt turkey with it because we can only use shotguns in Maryland but it is fun and accurate within 30 yards.
best of luck and keep the great videos coming.
That is so unfortunate. My dad has a 22WM/.410. Excellent rabbit gun. Cool find. I am sure you can fix her right up.
If you got all the pieces it is repairable. I bet your boy HeavyMetal can take care of you.
A good gunsmith can make it look like new. A friend has a 20 ga 22 mag.
My 1st cousin had one that he used when we hunted together.( mid 1960’s.) his was a .22 over 20 gauge. The rifle barrel was designed to shoot all .22’s except for the magnum cartridge. John took many squirrels with that combo.
I had a .222 over 20 gauge. Yep I had a Savage 24F. They also made a .308 over 12.
Back in the '50's , a friend had a 24, chambered in .22LR and .410 as I recall...nice...
Ive got a Savage 24 that is 223 over 12 gauge. Has screw in chokes. Never been fired, still has the tags on it. I bought it from an estate a few years ago.
Great gun I have one in 30-30 20 gauge that was passed down to me that is like new.
Nice find! The wood can be repaired easily and you wouldn’t even see it. It’s a good gun, and not so common anymore in the US . Those are Grade A meat makers!
Back in the early 70s my uncle had a 222 20 gauge over under that when you fired the20 it would break open and he had to have it repaired. A great gun .
I saw those a lot as a teenager and have always wanted one. Yous is exactly the configuration that I want. Very cool! Awaiting a range report.
Sorry to see that it got damaged! That SUCKS! It probably had some heavy weight dropped on it. Did they ship it with insurance?? I hope it works out for you WTW! I have a couple. I have one like this, .223/12 GA with the black composite stock. Take my advice... ONLY SHOOT 45 TO 50 GRAIN BUL-LETS IN IT!!! DO NOT SHOT 556 55 GR OR ANYTHING HEAVIER. They will keyhole. Mine shoots 45 gr rem like a laser beam! These are set up for varmint hunting and have a 1-14 inch twist. Hope this helps you enjoy an really awesome set-up. Good luck with that.
Rangers... Lead the Way!

Damn the luck....Don't use epoxy use carpenters wood glue. Tightbond or comparable. It creates a bond waterproof stronger than the wood itself and excess glue squeeze out can be cleaned off with a damp rag before it dries. Then wrap with blue painters masking tape to hold in place til totally dry. Probably won't be able to see it ever was broken if all pieces are there. Just a thought good luck and keep a slinging!
I have two, my dads and grandfathers. Both are 22lr/410. They have a little button on the side of the receiver that selects the barrel you want to fire vs the selector on the hammer.
... there are other O/Us with rifle & shotgun barrels ... for instance I have a Baikal IZH-94 which is a 12 gauge/308 win break open O/U ... the rifle barrel is underneath the 12 ga barrel and is very accurate ... it has 2 triggers and is a takedown ... like everything Russian it is built like a tank ... I machined a Weaver style base for the gun on which is currently perched a Leupold VX-2 Ultralight 2-7x28 scope attached by Leupold QD rings which can be removed & re-attached without shifting the POI more than 1/4"
In Germany we have a perfect word for over/under rifle and shotgun combinations.
It's called Bockbüchsflinte.
Don't confuse it with the word for the pumpgun "Vorderschaftrepetierflinte" or bolt action "Kammernstengelrepetierflinte".
Tell’em about them Vierlings, and Fünflings, hoss.
1st call the seller. 2nd call the shipping company. Someone owes you an new stock.
Not worth the hassle to me. Don't have the time to fool with it
I have a 222 REM and 20 ga. It’s in perfect shape. I used to Turkey hunt with it. But it’s been put away for decades.
You can’t use a rifle to spring gobbler hunt in my state anymore. So it doesn’t get used.
My Dad took a nice gobbler at over 100 yards with it in the early 90s. I think that the only Turkey shot with the 222.
They were still available in the early 90's. You got one of the most versatile ones.
As someone who works in shipping that is the exact reason I use a good amount of packing paper or bubble wrap, and have never had to file a claim for damages to date. Hopefully that stock can be repaired and look almost as good as it did before.
Awesome bingbang! I know the anger about having something damaged in shipping 😊. I ordered a 10/22 Ruger eagle etched that came scratched up, and the box screwed up. There's nothing like yours, but I'm sure the pain is the same. Brother, i am very sorry. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome bingbang!
A good wood worker might be the best choice if you are going to keep it.
You can achieve the same versatility with any 20 or 12 gauge O/U and a barrel insert. Savage used to make the "Four-Tenner," which was a .410 insert for a 12 gauge barrel, and it supported .45 Colt. Other inserts for 12 Gauge provide inserts with chambers for .45 ACP, .40 S&W, and many other handgun and rifle rounds. There are insert kits that come with multiple caliber inserts, each of which is about 6 inches or so long - even .22, slightly offset so that the hammer impacts the rimfire's rim. Sort of a SHTF device that gives you firepower support no matter what you can find after the zombie apocalypse.
The purpose is to have a rifle and shotgun barrels ready to go at the same time duh
@@GregBrown-f1o And D'Oh! - that's exactly what barrel inserts provide. For example, a side by side or over/under with one barrel loaded with shotgun shell and the other with an insert, loaded with a pistol or rifle round.
@@MrGsteele exactly what you get is not a rifle barrel, maybe in a desperate situation it's better than nothing but it's not the same, I can shoot with a rifle barrel at 200 yds with open sights, good luck hitting something at 25 with insert
@@GregBrown-f1o Two totally different issues - using something like a Chaszel full length adapter in .45-70 or .30-30 or 7.62x39, you have functionally, rifle accuracy in the field; they'll shoot to point of aim as well as you can hold offhand.
The other issue is versatility - meaning short adapters, which are for SHTF situations where you may not be able to rely on a supply of any particular ammunition. Having adapters allows you, in a pinch, to use any ammunition you come across within the scope of the adapter set - for example, .22 LR, .243, .30-30, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .410 gauge, etc.
On the one hand, you are converting an over/under to a drilling-like combination; on the other hand, you have an arm that - compromised though it might be - will allow you to shoot any ammunition you come across in a zombie apocalypse. Or, with both, both. Any gun and ammunition is better than any gun but no ammunition.
Sorry can't talk sense with someone who believes in zombies 😂
When I was a kid in the 60s my grandfather had several under over rifle shotgun combo's I love old school stuff that's rare.
YES! I'd have happily paid a premium for that. That's the nicest example of the model I've seen. & I have seen a few. Damn shame it took a beating on its way home. Nice find!
These are Combo guns originally designed as a woodsman survival gun. Shotgun for birds. Rifle for ground-game. I have a Baikal IZH-94, imported from Russia. It is a 12GA/.223. Beautiful wood, pretty brass triggers and shoots great. These types of guns are pretty awesome. Sucks about your broken stock.
My Savage 24 bought on GB got damaged in shipment in the same place and two pieces broke off real clean. The seller did an insurance claim and gave me all my money back but gun smith told me to glue them back in place and hold with some rubber tubing and it came out all right. Mine is 22 mag and 20 gauge. I have a Russian gun, Baikal of the same design in 30-06 and 12 gauge and it has the rifle on the bottom and shotgun on top.
I have my grandfather's .222/20 gauge. My dad gave it to me when I was ten. My grandfather had a 22lr/410. He shot a rattler and it still stuck his cocker spaniel. He traded for the one I have now.
they were popular when I was young and we had over lapping seasons for birds and deer and larger. Dad had the 30-30 / 12 gauge
I have the 24C, 22LR over 20 Guage camper model that stores 1 shotshell and 10 22 rounds in the buttstock. Love that gun!
LGS had a 22/ 20g. Thought it was over priced. Than I saw one on MarksmanTV, back when they could tell the prices. Bought that one for $150 less. Still playing with it. Also got a 357 mag insert for it. Love it, 3 guns in one.
I had the 22 mag/410 model. Unfortunately, it was lost in a fire. I miss middle Tennessee. Keep up the good work.
They used to be everywhere. Most of them I saw were 22lr over 20 or 410 gauges. I always wanted one but couldn't afford one. I was raising 4 kids. Oh! Check with the dealer you nought it from. HE surly insured it.
That’s a cool Boolot Slinger. Bring it to a reputable gunsmith and have them repair the stock. They do amazing work restoring old Slingers. Good luck Adam.
BTW we all Overpay for our friends now and then. Buy it while you can before it’s gone.
A number of years ago I had a double barrel over and under that came in various configurations . The make was a Valmet and the model was a 412. I believe that there was some connection between Savage & Valmet on these guns. Enjoy it.
It's a shame when people don't package firearms correctly, knowing they are going to get thrashed around. A good gunsmith also trained in wood working can easily repair that stock without making it look like a 1st grader glued it back together.
One more thing...the trigger guard is not bent, it's mounted backwards.
These were fairly common in the 70s growing up in VA. Several of my friends and family members used them during deer drives. Shotgun w/buckshot for up close, centerfire for longer quick shot. As I recall the centerfires were not terribly accurate and my Uncle moved on to a Valmet of the same style which were higher quality. Sorry to hear about the damage.
My first gun was a Savage 24 in 22 lr over a 3" modified 20 gauge. It was a Christmas present in 1979.
Keep break clean , may be better to glue and clamp each side one at a time still attached to gun then remove stock and refinish it . I have a Winchester mod 42 the very same chips got broke . I glued both chips at once with Elmers white glue all , wrapped two strands off high grade electrical tape round and round stretching tape then put 2 worm gear steel clamps around tape and tightened. The tape keeps wood from marring. Then removed and refinished stock . Lot of trouble but still a 2 grand shotgun . Elmers is vey strong if clamped on clean break and gives you plenty of time to clamp .that’s really a pisser that they are so rough in shipping
Had one about 30 years ago, paid 100 dollars for it. .222 over 20 gauge. Wish I would of kept it. Good little gun.
Hey WTW! I was lucky enough to get a Savage 24d Series P in 22mag over 20 ga from am old timer who was downsizing as he headed towards retirement. Mine is in pristine condition and have shot the 22mag barrel a few times. Recently, I have seen them going for around $800-900. I got mine for $525 a few years ago. Nice gun. Sorry yours got banged up in shipping.
Love that thing!!! Sad about the damage. With that bingbang, a hatchet, and a good knife you could plop down in the wilderness and survive.
Who was the Shipper,They are Supposed to insure you Freight!
I would probably file a claim on shipping and then just order a stock from Boyds Stocks. They have the pattern and can make one fore you out of different qualities of Walnut.
Those were popular when I was growing up in the 80s in WV..folks called them over and unders.
All I can say is WOW!
That Bing Bang took one hell of a hit for that to happen, something like a 20 foot fall and landed straight on the butt stock. I’d be very cautious shooting it now until I could get it inspected by a licensed professional gunsmith. Maybe now that the damage is done, and the bing bangs value is somewhat diminished a replacement stock by, oh Boyds might be a better option than repairing the damaged one. Maybe Boyds could provide you one for free so you could do a nice little review of their products!
I like my lever and bolts and so ons but the brake open love senders will stay . They do not mess up often. Mean more foods in the freezer. Nice even with the damage.
I had a 12 gauge w/ the 223 in a synthetic stock back in the 90s. Wish I had kept it. It shot sabots really well to 100 yards.
My only experience with that gun store is I wasted $200 for their “gunsmiths” to get an AR10 cycling. Needless to say I wasted my money and took it to a real gunsmith who had it a few hours and had it working flawlessly.
Oh man. That sucks. They don't owe you a stock, they owe you your money back. I hope you filed a claim with the shipper too, but also I hope you saved those pieces. I never repaired a stock like that but I've repaired lots of wood furniture by gluing the broken pieces back on and refinishing the piece and the repairs are undetectable.
Cool bing bang. I like the caliber/guage combo you got. 223/20 guage.
My dad and uncle each had one in 22 Hornet and 12 gauge. They used it for PA fall turkey guns. Cool find.
A friend of mine had a Savage over and under back in the 60’s . We hunted and plinked a lot together gather on my family’s farm back then. I think that I remember it better by a 22 LR on today and a 3 inch 410 on the bottom. It was a fun gun although I never thought they were as good as a dedicated rifle or shotgun. I think they’re a good survival weapon, though.
Boyd's gunstocks list a model 24.
I have a 24v-A. It was my grandads and it’s a 222 and 20g. It has a Turkey and a fox engraved in the receiver. It’s my Turkey gun
My dad had one in .22/20 ga and I had the J-DL version .22 mag/20 ga. I just sold it last year. Great guns.
Very nice. I went to Mitchell SD yesterday and bought a Remington 700 BDL in 8mm Remington Magnum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remington quit producing them in 1985!!!!! Unless you got mega $$$ and have their custom shop build one!! 🤣🤣🤣
A good gunsmith or even a good furniture/wood guy can fix the stock with the pieces that you have there, and no one including yourself will be able to see it’s been damaged & repaired!! I’m not kidding! That is a beautiful stock. I don’t understand why that happened? It’s only in those two areas
