Offered for sale is a Winchester Model 24 12 Gauge Side by Side Shotgun. The shotgun features 28" barrels, pistol grip black walnut stock, striker fired design, double triggers and extractors. The Winchester Model 24 side-by-side shotgun went into production in 1939 and stayed in the line until 1958. The Model 24 was intended to compete with the likes of the Stevens 311 and Savage/Fox Model B as an affordable, utility side-by-side. It was reasonably successful in the market place and a total of over 116,200 were manufactured. The Model 24 is a true hammerless gun, as opposed to having concealed hammers like most double guns, since it is striker fired. It was produced only as a field grade gun with blued receiver and barrels, wide 7/16" raised solid rib, uncheckered black walnut stock with lacquer finish, semi-pistol grip (a straight hand stock could be ordered), double triggers, and spring powered extractors that elevated the shells when the gun was opened. Available gauges were 12, 16, and 20, with 12 gauge being the most common. The shotgun is in good condition, with loss to the finish and a small crack in the stock and forend. The shotgun was produced in 1940. It is a Curios and Relic firearm and requires a FFL transfer or NICS background check. The serial number is 14962. The overall length is 44 1/2"
