I have a question concerning a shotgun I saw. This is a Stevens O/U .410 gauge shotgun with the "Tenite" stock & for-end. The receiver was "case hardened" with the barrels being blued. My Dad taught me to shoot with a similar gun except it had a .22 cal. rifle barrel over a .410 barrel. Passed experience had not introduced the two .410 gauge barrels before this sighting. Were these produced in large quantities or were there only a few made? My "needs" have no use for it but my "wants" sure are in a tizzy. The price scared me to the point that I may never own one since the owner was asking $1,200. Is anyone familiar with this Stevens product and is the asking price in line for the N.C. market? Thank you for any information.
 
Sounds high, but danged if I wouldn't buy it if I had the money.....I am longing for an U/O 28 Ga, but would take a .410 in a minute...the perfect dove/quail/grouse getter...
 
There are other O/U and SxS out there for 1200 used that might be worthy of investigating.

As to the price, look at closed auctions on the various sites to see what they are actually selling for...........
 
Tenite often gets brittle with age. And $1200 seems high (very) to me, but IDK the market.

Did you check the auction sites for similar offerings?

I have one with a WW2 Weaver 330 scope you can have for $300

I think the OP is refering to the .410/.410 which if my memory serves me was the model 220 ? The gun with the rifle and shotgun combo became the model 24 when Savage bought Stevens.

The $300 you mention is a fair price for a .22RF/.410 so be careful what you wish for - you might sell it.

$1.200 is too much for the Model 220 , they are hard to find however in great condition, and may be worth in the $500 to $700 range now days.
 
.410/.410 gauge O/U Stevens

The gun Gordon mentioned is the one I grew up with and I am old, my surprise was finding both barrels in .410 gauge thus the reason for the post, I had never seen one before and saw two at a gun show a couple weeks ago. Were they popular in other parts of the U.S. or were there just a few manufactured? The second gun was stocked with Walnut wood and was in less than pristine condition and $500 to $600 less. mnrivrat hit the nail square on the head with his description. Your interest and input is much appreciated as I'm always willing to learn.

What your dad owned and my father as well was indeed a Stevens/Savage model 24. I still own two of them. One is the .22/.410 and the other is .22WMR/20ga. Stevens made the earlier models and then Savage took them over and called it he model 24. The earlier models had the tenite frniture on them. My dads model 24 tenite stock was broken and held together with tape for years until replaced with wood.

I have never witnessed the same gun where both barrels were .410. That would be a neat find. Look at them closely to make sure it is not deceiving you by the top barrel being a larger caliber of rifle bore. Many configurations were made.

Do a search here for Model 24. You will find more info on them.

Good luck
 
Not tne same Gun

oneounceload & Gordon, the reference you furnished is not the same gun. The gun in question looks exactly like the Mod. 24 .22/.410 but is .410 both barreled and the barrels are soldered together and not separated. This pictured one is surely a take off of the older one I observed. Thanks for the research. The original seller was almost "firm" on his price so I am very discouraged. mnrivrat seems to have uncovered the facts about the gun. Appreciate all the interest, lets find a less expensive one for my grandchildren.
 
Milkmaster

This is the wooden stock version of the original .22/410 gun, thanks Milkmaster. Anyone know the quantities of .410/.410 version of the pictured gun? I'm still looking! Hey Milkmaster, I really enjoyed your truism at the bottom of your post! You haven't served in politics, have you?

Funny you should ask...I always thought I was a bit too abrupt and direct to run for any office. Now I find myself considering a run for a local county office. Don't hold your breath!
 
BTW...here is my other more recent 22WMR/20ga model of the 24 from the 60's. Some of you have seen this picture before. Can anyone tell me how to post this picture and reduce the size at the same time? Is their a trick to it I am missing?

.410/.410 O/U Savage/ Stevens & Milkmaster

One important fact I had neglected to add in the original description is that the gun in question has two hammers, side by side where there was only one on the Mod. 24 I grew up with. On the Mod. 24 there is a selector knob on the left side of the receiver for your choice of rifle or shotgun. OH YEA, Milkmaster, your philosophy is too honest, most politicians are so versed in the "Tell you one thing but do another" art that they have no time for the business at hand. Our problem is that we eat up the foreplay (campaign speech) and elect them but the results are always blamed on others failings and they require another term to fulfill their promises. You should give it a try, if you are not corrupt when you arrive you will be when you leave, if you ever do. Thanks to all!
 
The Stevens .410 O/U gun in question is known as the Model 240 and they do indeed come with two seperate side by side hammers and two triggers.

They are 3" chambered, choked full & full and not so uncommon as to bring $1200 unless the gun is brand new in the box with all the paperwork, fillers, etc.

Tenite stocks look cool but are quite fragile and prone to cracking with age, especially if the gun is fired and Tenite stocked guns usually bring about 25% less than wood stocked guns sunce the Tenite stocks have to be replaced if the buyer intends to use the gun as a shooter.

A used, Tenite stocked, Model 240 is reality based worth @ retail, about $350-$400 tops. HTH
