I've got a Remington M24 .22 Short, with a 4 digit serial number, 24XX, I think that makes it a very early 1920s gun, maybe 1922. It's almost 100 years old, and the bore looks like it, as those days had corrosive primed ammo, and the half black/half smokeless stuff called, oddly enough LESMOK. It still functions, but could use a re-springing all the way around. The takedown is pretty sloppy, but pretty good for being found in an attic someplace. Somewhere along the line, someone broke the forearm and another one was fashioned, and it was reblued.
It's fun to shoot, but I hate it when it drops a case down my sleeve.
