My son now has the 20” Mod 24c “Camper’s Companion” .22/20ga with which I taught him to shoot thirty years ago, in that model the shotgun barrel was cylinder bored.

Accurate .22 barrel but slugs shot way low. Way low but in the same vertical plane. Using the base of the front sight as the front sight it was on at 25 yards and beyond that one could compensate accordingly. Minute of paper plate with Remington slugs at about 100.

A few years ago I was excited to find a 70’s era .357 over 20 gage Mod 24. Heavy, bad stock geometry IIRC with a high comb as if for scope use, horrible trigger even for a 24. Rifle barrel printed OK, shotgun barrel was way the heck in left field. Traded it off the very next show.
