Referb. Rem mdl 24

[cw2go]

It was sufficiently difficult to get everything *just right* that I wrote it up as I was completing the work, because I thought I would forget several of the tricks I learned if it was a year or more before I had to do it again. (It's much easier to describe while you have everything apart and are actually doing it. Hindsight leaves out important information.) And I figured I wanted to be able to help out others, and possibly help Gunsmoke update their writeup.

Off-topic: Help! Anyone know anything or have any source of information about an old Remington Model 24 takedown .22 LR semiautomatic? This is a 1922 Browning design (also sold as a Browning) with a tube-feed through the butt and a bottom eject from a bold accessed from the bottom of the receiver. I just got one, and am rebuilding it without knowing what I'm doing .... (PM me or write to cw2go@yahoo.com)

I have a model 24 also. I am in the process of restoring it. I have just got the stock in the mail. Beautiful, Its great American gunstocks #3 fancy black walnut and cost 228 including shipping. It is much less finished than I thought. It is my first new stock from a semi inleted blank. It is also my first full restore. I have done modifications and refinished stocks before. I am doing the metal work except for the bluing, which I intend to have done by a gunsmith. It is taking a long time to get the pits out without destroying the lines. I also plan to replace every spring that I can get and as many of the screws as I can find. It was in pretty rough shape but I only paid $100. Mine was made in 1927. It will take me a while I am afraid to use power tools so I am going very slowly.
I’ll try to attach one of my before Pics. Let me know how you are doing.
