I posted a few minutes ago but I got a message that it was sent, but I don’t see it, so I’ll try again.
I asked about Winchester model 24. They are clunky looking, but does anyone use one? I was going to carry it in my ATV, for occasional grouse hunting. Are they worth having?

Finally got a pic of the third one this spring. I was at a double gun shoot and the rancher said if I called one in to kill it as it was harassing his cows. I didn't have any rifle ammo with me but found 3 BB hand loads and called it in to 44 yards. 2 1/2" 16ga/16ga/9.3x72R Killed it with and ounce of BB's

One of that vintage in its excellent condition is not an easy find. I've killed as many deer with a 9,3X72R as with all my other rifle chamberings in combo guns. I had one for a long time, scoped with a Voightlander 2 3/4 in claws. I loved carrying it and the 9,3X72's mild recoil. I covet this gun, erich. Bruce

Just got this in a few days ago. 37R Deluxe. Solid rib with modified choke. Well guess that explains why Rob didn't have it at the Duluth Double Gun shoot for the pump gun event this year LOL. Figured he would have asked me for first rights of refusal before he sold it. He really wanted it from me a couple years back and I finally let it go. It is a 1959. Really like how it handled being a 26" solid rib it is one of the best handling guns I have ever shot. Regretted selling it the minute I did. Looks and sounds like it has a great home now though which pleases me :-)

Some REALLY nice guns in this thread! I grew up with a 16 ga. Ithaca 37 and for my first 10 years or so killed everything with that gun, it was my only gun. So still have a fondness for the 16 and 37's. 37RVD had Briley install thinwalls and is my main clays gun for pump gun events. The 26" Field IC has likely taken more grouse than all my others guns combined. King Ferry English Deluxe Ultralight 16 [ F.A.I.R. made NEA 500 with 28" bbls for hunting and 30" for clays. The case colors are long gone F.A.I.R. Iside basic model And a few more LOL. Picked up a Tristar G2 Bronze last week and shot it at 5 stand Saturday. Changed out the shims on it and will shoot it at a different 5 stand tonight to see if I shoot it better. Have a new style A5 Sweet 16 but it was a tall drink of water in the grouse woods so had Briley cut it down to 23" and install thinwalls. Mark Larson changed out the steep radius grip to a round knob. Now it is a proper grouse gun. Clays not so much.
