22 long rifle hollow points and ten CB’s. In the fifth loop I inserted a plastic coin tube with a screw on lid. This sleeve has five loops on it, so I placed 20 gauge buckshot shells in four of the loops. Next I bought a cartridge sleeve for the stock. The sling makes it easier to carry the gun and it can be dissembled to provide a lot of cordage. Then I used fifty feet of 550 para-cord to tie up a nice cobra knot sling. The first thing I did was buy a set of sling mounts and attach them to the gun. I decided to make a few modifications to my combo gun so that even if the gun was all I had time to grab, I would still have a fighting chance at survival. Someone 100 yards away won’t even hear the discharge. 22 caliber subsonic rounds that have a signature about like an air rifle but are capable of penetrating 300 pages of a telephone book. It can be used to hunt anything from wood rats to deer, and in a pinch it can serve as a personal defense weapon. It is light, well made, accurate, and has few moving parts. 410, 20-guage, and the ever-popular 12-gauge.The gun that sits next to my bug-out bag is an old Savage Model 24 combo gun chambered in. The chamberings themselves produced a myriad of options including rifle calibers in not only 22 S/L/LR, but also 22 WMR. Savage over time improved the on-frame barrel selector and moved it to the hammer to make it more reliable, dropped the tenite moldings in favor of uncheckered walnut, and added other chamberings. The double gun was a handy 41-inches overall and 7-pounds flat. 410 would take up to 3″shells and had a full choke. 22 barrel would accept S, L and LR rimfire rounds and the same length. Taking the Stevens combo gun, Savage retained the concept of a standing breech, break open rifle over shotgun combination gun, which utilized a rebounding hammer and rear pushing extractors. The same year the Stevens 22-410 went out of production, the Savage 24 was introduced. Savage had been (and still is) the parent company of Stevens since 1920, making it easy to see the import of the Savage 24’s concept.
In 1950, the gun went out of production with Stevens. The Army Air force ordered 15,000 of them for use as aircrew survival rifles with a Tenite (an early thermoplastic) stock. Stevens put the handy little marvel into production in 1938 with the appropriate moniker of the Model 22-410. 22 rimfire rifle barrel with a single sight, hammer, and trigger.
This firm came about with a combination gun with a smoothbore.
