Remington Model 24 - The Firearms Forum

w1spurgeon · 01-31-2012, 06:40 PM

Is anyone familiar with this gun? I have one and it's really wierd. It loads thru the buttstock, but to chamber a round you have to turn it upside down before you charge the gun. If you don't turn it upside down before moving the bolt, the shell you are trying to load simply falls out the bottom without going into the chamber. I can't decide if I'm missing a part or what! Also, it is prone to jam, seems to be failing to extract correctly. HELP!!

You've got problems. Cartridge guide, cartridge carrier, hard to tell without having it in the shop.

The model 24 is virtually the same as the Browning standard automatic. You are fortunate that if you are missing a part that they are available. I don`t know what your level of expertise is but equipped with a schematic (online at Numrich arms egunparts.com) and an assembly /disassembly manual such as J.B.Woods book #3 Rimfire rifles you should be able to find the problem.I have both the Browning and a Mod 24. Had a similar problem with the Browning and found it to be a badly worn cartridge stop.Replaced it and now shoots like a new one. Good luck. Joe
