What Dan Oz says. Fracture looks like bad metal or fatigue.

Or there was maybe corrosion in the extractor cut that weakened the barrel. It doesn’t appear to have been well cared for with all the surface rust. Maybe corrosive old ammo over the years without proper cleaning.

I’ll have to check mine now.

only thing ever broke on my 24 22lr/20 gauge were some game laws.

once got a mallard double: drake with the 22 on the water and hen on the rise with the 20 gauge.. witnesses were not aware that shooting dux on water with 22lr was frowned on.

never did it before or since. but when can a kid impress a girlfriends father who just figured I was a good shot...

wish I still had that little thing,,...

the savage 24,,, still have the girlfriend... now married over 40 years,, and scores of guns later.....

Now for a different 24 problem. A 22 hornet over 3 inch 12 gauge and the 22 and 12 shot to different elevations when new.

Early on when I stood the gun up on the butt and it leaned against the wall, it slipped and fell down on the front sight breaking the weld between the two barrels. Bummer!
My gunsmith was able to weld them back so they shot to the same point of aim!

Still OK after many years.
