Help with old Remington Model 24 .22 - 01/31/15
I was wondering if someone could tell me anything about these and perhaps suggest a fair value to ask at auction? I don't know if it's a sought after item or "just an old rusty gun".
This is a Remington Model 24 .22 Autoloader, it apparently predates the Browning .22 design as it loads through the buttstock and ejects from the bottom of the action. It is chambered for "22 LONG RIFLE - LESMOK OR SMOKELESS-GREASED". This one has a lot of surface rust and was d&t'ed at one time with two filler screws in the barrel now. However, it looks to be in good mechanical shape, no heavy pitting or cracks in the wood from what I could see. Didn't get a serial number but my quick research so far shows they were only made between 1922 and 1935 so DOM has to be within these dates.
